Some food for thought on the “Hero Theory”- I listened to the podcast ‘Missing on 9/11’ and colleagues she worked with were featured in interviews. All say she hated working in medicine, was not a natural at helping patients and would have been the last person to run towards the buildings to render first aid to the injured. In fact she put patients at risk with her alcoholism, inappropriate behaviour at work and frustrations. Her family is in huge denial
Would you mind sharing the link for that i'm interested

There’s a lot more to her story, but in a nutshell she was extremely reckless in her life, living a lie, and spiraling out of control. Her family were/are all in denial. They’ve told so many lies, it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s not.
"We were talking, and painting, and then went to bed without doing anything else". Lolol this guy kills me
If it’s over the clothes it’s not cheating .😂
@@tessharte1307 hHahaha
Women do do that.
That struck me as unrealistic behavior immediately.
Riiiiiiight
"A confluence of negativity and pain" I have the title for my Autobiography now. Thank you Dr. Grande!
I'm sorry to hear that you carry such a burden. I hope that you're in therapy; if not, please consider it. Life does get better when you have the skills to navigate it. Best wishes to you ❤
@@maryt8622 I thought that at first, but even if he was, I think that there's some truth behind the joke.
Thank you for your insight😊❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 good one!
@@Kamarca awww, thank you! I know from personal experience that humor is often borne of pain. ❤💙🤍💕
@@Kamarca same with me. I use quite a bit of sarcasm. I'm called "The Family Smarta**" 😂
“We were talking and painting, then we went to bed without doing anything else”-priceless.
I mean, if it wasn’t unusual for her to just not come home because she was spending the night with her “brother or cousin”…come on.
@@JennRighter ikr, i think her loved ones oughta get real!
She must have felt he was stupid.
Is there some stigma against being LGBT in the Indian-American community, or at least was in the early 2000's? I feel like everyone went to some seriously great lengths to deny what seems entirely obvious - that she was lesbian or bisexual. Nobody is going to hear this and seriously believe she was going to lesbian bars, staying at homes of lesbians she met all night with it being anything other than sexual.
Just because you people can’t function without sex doesn’t mean other people can’t. Not everyones desires are reduced to their animal instincts. Some people have intellectual minds and process things spiritually. Get your mind out of the gutter.
Making art, listening to music and sleeping sounds so nice.
Well? Try and do at least one of those today.

Meh. I prefer sex
"The investigator recommended a psychic."
The next line should be "He found a new investigator."
😂😂
If he had hired the psychic first, he would've seen it coming.
Real Professional
Wouldn't it tend to follow that if she spent the night somewhere else and died in the attack, the person she stayed with hasn't come forward because he or she died, too?
Interesting point maybe a romantic liason with an early breakfast at the top of trade centre like she told her mom. The individual may have worked there.
It does stand to reason.
@@shimmer8289 did she actually tell her mom that? I thought she only mentioned her friend who was getting married there.
@@emilyd.6371 I would have to listen to Dr Grande video again to be sure, she did reference it be it to a friend or her mom. It is interesting how we as humans are that 20 years later we all still want closure .....it must have been so hard on her family.
@@shimmer8289 for sure
I always go to lesbian bars to find other women to do art projects at night with, and then we fall asleep in separate beds. I mean where else would I find women to do art projects with?
🤣🤣🤣
NYC, Manhattan is a place where people are very friendly and open. Actually there is not much crime there because people are very free and not suppressed, very friendly and work wise. But she would have call her husband.
@@TecOneself Why would she do that when she's basically cheating on him?
You know what 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂

I’ve not heard about this missing person before. It’s quite an interesting series of events that took place. Thanks for covering this Dr. Grande.
It was in the news often back then and even a few years after it would occasionally pop up.
I’d never heard of this case before either, what an odd one. It must be so hard for her husband, having no idea what happened to her.

I agree Clarissa
@@CesarClouds
Interesting enough. They covered so much on the news and everything seemed too much at times
@@nd612 That's true.
Going to a stranger's home after meeting in a bar to paint and listen to music is always what happened to me, who knew, I thought this was normal, lol.
It's normal but I've never heard of meeting a stranger to go paint, so random.
We should all be so lucky to score all the time like she did.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or real lol
@@moonstruck562 Sarcastic, ;)
@@GrafStorm wheww thank goodness. I got really worried there for a second lol
Absolutely bizarre story. No matter how you slice it, she died a misunderstood person who didn’t feel safe enough not only to seek professional help, but also to get away from a family that didn’t seem to care much about who she really was, but rather how her accomplishments and stature could complement their place in society. This story reminds me of the importance of living truthfully, as we never know when our last moment is arriving.
Very well-said. I heard this story years ago on Unsolved Mysteries, it’s always made me feel very sad for her. And her husband and family. It’s just a sad story.
She was a train wreck.
💯
I can say, in the medical field it is very hard for us to reach out for psychiatric services because we can be deemed unfit and have our licenses suspended, be terminated, have a tarnished name when that cannot be afforded, when many times, most times, it is untrue that we are unfit for duty… most times that is our saving grace (sounds like she was past that part). And somehow, it is always leaked. If she was able to safely reach out prior to becoming messy, she might be okay. It happens to a lot of us and it’s messed up as all hell because we emphasize mental wellness to our patients (I do) yet bear burdens unseen and see things nobody, do things to people nobody should have to, repeatedly, in the same day. To save a life, sometimes we do and sometimes we don’t. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, and our support staff… we go through it and it is WORTH IT, but there is a toll to be paid. There is nowhere to deconstruct that and what happens to you when you fear having that ability taken from you, ya know? I got really unwell a few years ago (no substances, but mental health was in the sh*tter) and was terrified, but reached out and so far so good. I’ve never made an unsound decision for my patients. For myself? Yes. Just a little introspection into what it’s like. Maybe how her spiral started. I also know Indian culture puts a lot of pressure on their medical professional students/post grads going into residencies even into fellowships. I know quite a few doctors that half joke about their parents busting their balls, so there’s that as well, and her sexuality. I feel for her. What if her family killed her for “the shame she brought” 💔???And likely we will never know. Sorry for the ramblings. Just my experience from inside the hospital.
@@maximumeffort78 very well said! Even non-mental health issues can get you into trouble in medicine.
This whole situation is absolutely weird. The fact that her husband wasn't concerned when she wasn't home is crazy in itself. Even if you think that she is at her brother's house, you call him to determine if that is true. The authorities really need to focus on who this friend is. I had heard this story before, but I didn't know that her brother made up this Twin Towers story. It would have been a lot easier to find her if the people in her life were more concerned and more truthful.
He was not concerned because she had been spending the nights out recently with ppl she met at bars and art projects…
She was a degenerate and also a lesbian in the Indian culture it's not accepted at all plus she had a drinking problem and was mentally unstable..she most likely ran away with the chick she was with that day..
i was raised by an alcoholic father and he would disappear for days at a time. after years of this, my mother simply stopped worrying, because he always showed up eventually.
I must be psychic, because the moment this story started, the thought "she has a lesbian lover" popped into my head.
This story has been around for nearly 20 years. Maybe you heard it before.
You should work for the police :) do a better job than them
@@thecatatemyhomework Naaah ... I'm definitely psychic. LOL!
She set off my gaydar too
Also: I would hit it
After her shopping trip, I believe the most probable theory is that she met a friend to “paint and listen to music with”. She stayed the night at her place for some fun, that morning she knew her husband was working, so she and the friend went for breakfast at the WTC restaurant she mentioned the day prior to her mom during their call. While in the restaurant the planes struck and she and the new friend were both killed.
The woman she was with may have been in the closet and no one would know she frequented lesbian bars. Or perhaps she was a known lesbian, but kept her private life private. She hooked up with a woman and they went back to her place. No one would have known. Do you call friends and family and alert them to your one night stands?
She left the shopping bags at the woman’s place and the hookup’s family/friends just assumed the items belonged to her. Maybe she (hookup) phoned a friend that morning and said hey I’m going to the WTC for breakfast. Never mentioning she was with someone.
I don’t believe she’s alive, or was murdered/committed suicide 9/10. Her body would have been found. I also don’t believe the unrecognizable empty handed woman seen in her building’s lobby was her.
I believe her and the hookup died in the tower collapse and their bodies turned to ash.
What a sad story. I guess the moral is…. Be authentic, be honest with yourself and family. Everything done in the dark, comes to light. Love your channel @Dr. Grande! Keep up the great work!
Isn’t it possible that if she was with a closeted person they would want privacy? Like a hotel? I think it’s likely they stayed the night at the Marriott at the trade center after a long night out. They could’ve died helping people out or they could’ve been too drunk exhausted from the previous night to wake up until it was too late
The restaurant wasn’t open in the WTC at that time. She couldn’t have been there. Good theory though.
@@quiettraveller4474 She and her lover lived close to the Towers. They didn’t necessarily have to go to the restaurant right away. They could have just gone there to hang out till the restaurant opens.
@@quiettraveller4474 thanks, didn’t realize the restaurant was closed. Maybe they didn’t know either and went there and we’re headed back out when the planes struck or like @John Durrer said…. Maybe they were at the Marriott… although I’m not sure if the deaths in the hotel were as pulverizing. Seems they would have found them or parts and did DNA testing.
Good theory. But for this to be true wouldn't there have to be a second victim (the potential lover) who is unaccounted for? A second person who wasn't expected to be at the trade center who was missing after the attack? Sneha is well known because she wasn't SUPPOSED to be at WTC, but disappeared around the same time. If the lover theory is true there SHOULD be a second individual who is also curiously missing.
Have you ever did an episode on Alecia Head? The lady who made up a huge story about being in the towers, losing her husband in the towers and was like the President of the Survivor club and she wasn't even in America when it happened? i'd like to know what you think of her.
Great suggestion! There’s a documentary on her!
Omg i so want the Dr to do that!!
I would love to see him cover that!
Great idea!
Yes interesting story
This is such a interesting, strange story. Just like when the covid pandemic hit, this was a really good/bad time to disappear or meet with foul play because the world is going through a crisis and solely focusing on that for months and years.
Much like those that perished around Hurricane Katrina....did not help that the courthouses and police evidence areas were mostly destroyed as well! There was one well known case that was only solved due to a body being found in a trunk that had washed out if a destroyed home...the stage of the body showed it has was long before. Hope someone can remember the name, would be a good story for the good doc to review!
@@aking4766 I remember that! I think it was featured on forensic files
@@DottieMinerva yes! That is where I saw it originally...that show never gets old!
People don't realize that it takes 5-6 hours to travel in Canada by the Quebec province and many passing points aren't enforced and surveillance is inexistant. Back then you didn't even needed a passeport to travel to one country to another. That's a theory. It just happened to be at the same date 9/11 occurred.
@@aking4766 There was the guy that got killed by police who burned the car to cover it up--Henry Glover--but that was just after Katrina hit. Is that the one? A couple of the officers were sentenced but one ended up getting his conviction overturned and subsequently found not guilty 🙄 Another spent 11yrs in jail or something but has been already released. There were also a three other officers said to be involved, I don't think anything even happened to them except they might have lost their jobs.
Also there was the case of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall, but I don't think any cars were involved in that.
If she was going for lunch at the WTC, why would she go there at 9 in the morning?
To shop?
Breakfast
We forget that not everyone had cell phones back then. It would have been so different if it was now.
I had a cell phone and a beeper. Remember beepers? Wow, I'm getting old.
Heck I couldn't even afford my first flip phone until 2008
The US usually leads the world in technology and material things. So I was shocked to discover that cell phones only became the norm in the late 2000s. Also that your phone plans charged *you* if someone called you. No wonder they weren't popular with stupid plans like that.
In Europe cell phones became commonplace in the early 2000s. I got my first cell phone in 1999 as a teenager.
you'd think a Doctor would though, I know I had a cell since 1998 and I was a teenager, but you're right
It’s not been “determin ed” if she did or did not have a cell phone. Why wouldn’t Ron confirm yes or no? He had one. After midnight on 9/11, “he” called his own cell phone from their land line. (Totally normal right?) Their apartment was very upscale. They had a 24 hour doorman and surveillance footage. Footage that would drastically change the course of the investigation & it exists- maybe not after all this time, but at one point, it was part of a trove of evidence at the nypd. They essentially chose not to view it or did not disclose to the public if it showed her returning home on the 10th or if Ron really did come home on the 10th, as he claims he did. Before going to the department store, she chatted instant messenger with her “mother” and told her she was cleaning and then going to re-pot some orchid bulbs she ordered from Hawaii that arrived in the mail. The police discovered bags of soil, pots and the orchids STILL in the bathtub/shower on the 12th- which means Ron didn’t shower after an ER room 12 hour shift when he “got home to find Sneha was not home and presumed was at her cousins or brothers or
During those days after the attack on the WTC it was complete chaos. There were thousands of photos of missing people plasted all over the city. If there was a news story about this missing woman, barely anyone would have even seen the story. As I spent that day in lower Manhattan, and lived through the aftermath, I remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I have heard this story before over the years, other people have done it, but I had no clue about this woman on 9/12, 9/13 or anytime after in those weeks. My point is she could have spent the night with someone who never even knew she went missing because, as I say, there were thousands of people missing, and for weeks, if not months, everyone was walking around like zombies.
I agree, or possibly she was still with the same person at the wtc for breakfast or something? Idk.
I agree!
He honestly might have gotten the daytime up, who knows.
I was there in Manhattan on 37st, I can also remembered as it was that day. Whats really worrying is that she disappeared one day before. She would have called her husband, I don't think she was a lesbian, I do think you become very friendly in a city as New York City and you have friends of all sorts thanks to the free environment. Its one of those mysteries. Thank you for the video Dr. Grande your point of shopping would discard the reason to vanish. I was shouting horrified myself to the TV so fireman don't enter the tower because they would die, I knew the towers would fall down.
You paint a tragic picture from someone who was around at the sharp end, the days, weeks, months and even years after, people who actually witnessed this attack including yourself had a life altering event play right out in front of them, watching from a TV here in Scotland was horrific enough, the unfolding crisis in front of my eyes would surely have altered my grip on both reality and my sanity, the story of a missing woman in amongst this melee would never have gained any traction and this also is tragedy.
@thecatatemyhomework, wish we could all go back to pre-9/11 days, 'ya hear me? I remember the 90s (late 90s in particular) as being simpler times.
I feel like it’s hard to really get an idea about what happened because everyone involved isn’t super reliable. They all have biases or ulterior motives, and everyone is saying different things.
Much like the whole UFO/UAP saga.
@@megamillionfreak not really
@@eadweard. It totally is. Read the below imagining the context is UAP/UFO: "I feel like it’s hard to really get an idea about what happened because everyone involved isn’t super reliable. They all have biases or ulterior motives, and everyone is saying different things".
@@megamillionfreak well in this case all the possibilities are known to exist - the towers fell, jealous husbands kill, etc. But flying saucers are silly.
@@eadweard. isn't "aliens" the go to answer when there's no evidence for anything else?
I think the husband had something to do with it nothing was said about life insurance on September 10th when she went missing and her brother made claims on the 11th. Always think who would gain from this.
It’s unlikely but also possible that her husband was fed up with her affairs and used the chaos of the attacks as an opportunity to get rid of her.
Seems extremely unlikely because she went missing on the 10th. He'd have to get very lucky in more than one way.
Maybe she used the attacks as an opportunity to run away and fake her death to escape her problems.
I think her brother did it. He just caught her hooking up with his woman on the couch. Then after 9/11 told the news the lie that she called him from the towers. In a documentary it was said the incident happened days prior not weeks.
@@user-ky3ph9nw2d I'm shocked no one else has brought up this theory before. That was my very first thought when I learned that he had lied about being on the phone with her.
@@user-ky3ph9nw2du might be right.
I feel you’re getting ripped off by a psychic. Priceless.
Did you hear about the 2021 Annual Conference Of Psychics And Empaths? It was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
“Unsolved Mysteries” covered Sneha’s case. However, the episode was highly sanitized, leaving out all information relating to the other side of Sneha’s life: alcoholism, lesbianism, trouble with the law, trouble at work, etc. The said episode should be avoided.
What does her potentially being a lesbian have to do with anything?
@@TheJosephPrice potential destinations or reasons for her leaving/ disappearing
@@TheJosephPrice Nothing alone except she was in a heterosexual relationship? Much like what does an affair got to do with a married person being missing (heterosexual or otherwise)…?
@@TheJosephPrice Perhaps nothing. Perhaps everything.
Why is the fact I'm gay being compared to those other things 🤣.. I dont think you meant it but I would just say you might not want to compare "lesbianism"(lol) with breaking the law and substance abuse lol
I was across the street. I worked at 250 Vesey St. They did not let anyone through after the attack. Second, if I remember correctly, there was a business breakfast at “Windows on the World “ and not open to public. Limited opening in morning. All the other restaurants were in the mall area on bottom level or in courtyard. Had the brother lied to get media attention, he would have been highly shamed in the aftermath for pretending she was at WTC. People did try to fake things sadly. Also no cell towers worked after attack happened. My parents did not hear from me until much after the collapse when I was around the Village and had access to a pay phone. Tons of crazy drugs in the club scene also. There was also a bar in North Tower and small steakhouse I don’t think was open for breakfast
Just as I remembered as I was pretty sure I knew someone whose loved one really was at the corporate breakfast, quote from NY Times on 9/19/2001. Only workers of the restaurants and bar and the people at the corporate breakfast, she was NOT having breakfast there. “The human cost is still not known. The two restaurants and bar on the 106th and 107th floors of 1 World Trade Center -- Windows on the World, the Greatest Bar on Earth and Wild Blue -- employed 450 people. Seventy-nine were on duty Sept. 11, said David Emil, whose company, Night Sky restaurants, operated the complex. Some were doing prep work for the evening, others were serving 500 people at a corporate breakfast seminar. All were still missing yesterday.”
@@NYmomAdrienne3915 the brother should be held accountable for lying
@@mrightplaceatrightime9670 I also think the reason and motive for lying was that he had something to do with her disappearance.
How did people get in to feed their pets? Or young children at home waiting for their parents to come back home? How can they not let anyone in back to their homes? I remember this but was baffled at how they handled it. I was in NYC but not in the area of WTC.
As a person who ran a staff union, the most reliable party in this case was the employer. She had turned 30 and was having a meltdown. Why. Knowing Indian culture well, she could either not face the pressure of a straight marriage if her true desires ran toward the other gender, and/or she could not face the pressures of being a doctor, especially after tooling around Italy for a year. The parents, husband and police may all have an agenda.
I suppose her husband was Jewish? She was Hindu I'm surprised it wasn't an issue with her parents
@@jimcook2715 what do you take us Hindus for? Muslims? 😂
@@jimcook2715 She was Indian Christian not Hindu.
@@disturbed0insane I'm not intending to disrespect anyone but I would think both sets of parents would be concerned. And I don't live in America any longer I live in Fiji with all kinds of Muslims Hindus Sikhs bhuddist and Christians
@Jim Cook your comment was justified as I thought the same. Unfortunately, most Hindus have become radicalized and prejudice against Muslims since modi has come to power.
I never thought she was a victim of 9/11 and feel her family was in such denial and that's why they pushed the heroin narrative so much.
While I agree that starting a new life is the least likely, it's quite lovely to imagine her running off with her lesbian lover. She could never be Sneha Anne Philip again, and yet she could still be living more authentically than ever before. But if she did die in the attack or some other scenario, I hope she at least got to paint and listen to music on her last night.
That would be a shame to leave her parents wondering by running off..
I find your comment beautiful. That was my sentiments as well after I was done listening to the video but couldn’t put the words together… ❤️
Starting a new life?! It is more ending an existing one.
The family is absurd. This is why you can’t believe families when someone goes missing. They always say “they would never do that” only for the truth to be found out. There’s no way the brother would lie about her sleeping with his girlfriend.
I think her brother was involved and possibly other family members helped cover her murder up.
the missing person, had allegedly been found having sex with her brother's gf, the brother then said "oh she was in the towers when they went down" ergo no reason too look for her everything is fine....(there would be no reason to claim it before there was the victims fund established)...that is suspect as heck, I'd say talk to the gf from that time
they said he made this up to garner attention to the fact she was missing, I read that he later admitted the phone call didnt take place
@@justagrrl1981 that seems, shady to say the least
If she was really cought having sex with brother's GF then maybe even brother killed her and was lucky enough that attack happened, such murders happens in Indian families regardless of status
I say the brother needs to be looked into, he's very suspish.
taking a taxi for the ambience, going to hair dresser to smell the chemicals, going to the laundry to watch other people's clothes dry HAHA - my kind of humor!
Well done..especially the part where there is no annoying background music!
Quel relief! Southern California disease has not permeated entirely.Yet.
21 years later and I’m still finding things I never knew. This is bonkers.
How about...she went out drinking into the early hours, walked home, didn't feel like going home just yet and decided to go for an early coffee to think things over while enjoying the view at TWOTW restaurant. That is what i would do.
Such a sad case. I remember seeing this story on Unsolved Mysteries, but your video has much more details about the case. First thing that came to mind was that her high risk lifestyle led to her demise. Especially if she was using drugs, she had to be buying them from someone. Sadly, I believe she ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time with bad people. Her dying inside the Towers would be no less tragic, but definitely a more 'acceptable' explanation for her family. I can see why they wouldn't want to believe anything else. That is difficult to reconcile, that her lifestyle might have caused her to lose her life. I can only imagine how difficult this has been for her family to not have closure. Also unfortunate that her brother lied; so unnecessary. Not knowing must be excruciating. I hope they've been able to move forward.
That episode of Unsolved Mysteries if I recall really soft peddled her story ----it was a family show after all
@SAINT 7 MiCHELLE possible....I think they ruled him out a bit soon...statistically speaking as they say he is most likely
Yea i watch this case on unsolved mysteries such a sad and fustrating case i learned more information about her just reading more her lesbian affairs drugs problem other stuff too sad case
she drank but didn't do drugs
@@KS-fu6og they said she was drinking and doing drugs
Very confusing, calling the missing woman, “Philip,” rather than Sneha. Easily remedied.
I thought so also. The man feared mispronunciation.
"My wife is going out to lesbian bars every night and spending the night with various women, must be painting."
Lol
Very normal
Riiiiiiiight
📌 My theory: she studied medicine and got married to please her family, to appear to be following traditions bc they would not accept her homosexuality. Marriage was perfect to "get away" from the yoke of family and do as she pleases, until it became a new burden and she used alcohol to cope with frustration/depression. That's why she would not come home every night. I don't find it normal for a woman married somewhat recently to be spending the night out, and the husband doesn't know where that is?? I think she ran away to start over with her lesbian partner, and left all her documents behind intentionally so the family wouldn't suspect. In the States ppl change their name like no big deal, why would she need her passport? She can call herself Jane Smith and get a new passport, she could've have a spare pair of glasses, or contacts, or maybe she could do without them until she gets a new pair. Then 9/11 would have been the best cover up ever bc there's the possibility she died there and won't be looking for her. She can finally live her life as she wants without giving any explanations, without the pressure, drinking and sleeping around as she pleases. For all I know she could've become a farmer and is now raising chickens off the grid in a farm somewhere in the midwest U.S. as Jane Smith.
Or somewhere on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii. Lots of people living off the grid there.
Hate mysteries like this, it’s puzzling and messy and I think about it at random quite often
So, law enforcement looked at the husband and the brother and ruled them out? I have always suspected the husband. It was during a time that there weren't cameras everywhere tracking our every move. Who's to say he didn't meet her on the evening of the 10th somewhere and they fought. If not the husband then the brother.
I am ok with this one, esp the husband, then he tries to collect $$$, suspicious as hell
Didn't the brother catch her in bed with his girlfriend, pissed him off so much he kills her. And her husband and brother came up with bogus story together about being a hero, but had brother tell it to get money. If nothing else I just made up good base for a book.😁
@@gocanada9749 the problem with that theory is that there was no way in hell he could’ve predicted that there would be a terrorist attack the next day and he would be able to cash in on the victims relief fund.
Husband, not brother
@@tammyjohnson7401not a book for now but definitely a wicked Halloween style porn sketch
Dr. Grande figured out my favorite date, listening to music, painting and sleeping!
Sometimes those that believe they would be a ‘hero’ in a crisis, are cowards…and those with the most ‘issues’ and who everyone would think would not be a ‘hero’ end up instinctively doing the heroic thing. Clearly, we won’t know what happened until perhaps her remains or evidence of her is found. This is one case I’d love to have solved. Thanks for posting about it Dr Grande!
What a puzzling case. I think your sequence of theories from most to least probable make a lot of sense. In my opinion, she wasn’t at the tower on 9/11, there are just too many hours prior to that unaccounted for.
Really tragic case irrespective of how it happened.
Thank you for reviewing this case Dr. Grande, what a head scratcher! ❤️
I think the opposite everybody’s looking too much into this and analyzing her lifestyle I think the most simplest explanation is the easiest she perished in the towers it is possible something happened the night before but there’s no evidence that it did and there’s more evidence that something happened due to her proximity within the towers. But it’s an interesting opinion.
@@dannigro8794this theory hinged in no small part to the veracity of the surveillance footage at their building apartment lobby. The court accepted Detective Richard Stark's testimony that he was over 90 percent sure it was her, despite never meeting her in person
In the Missing on 9/11 podcast, a close associate of Sneha, Dr E said Sneha hated medicine. Did not want to be a doctor hence her tardiness etc. Dr E didn't think Sneha would"vs run into the building to help. Dr E believed Sneha to have run away to start a new life.
@@dannigro8794As many others have observed, the events of 9/11 have been widely documented by now and hundreds of witnesses and survivors interviewed. No one indicated they saw her. EMTs that ran into the building to evacuate the injured were remembered or their bodies later identified. Doctors volunteering were all directed to the staging centre at Versey st and were not allowed to enter the building. Only firefighters and first responders were allowed in, to mainly get the trapped people OUT. EMT were to help the injured out, not to treat them at the scene ! So if Sneha had died at WTC, she would've been there the evening of Sept 10, or the morning of Sept 11. As a guest of someone who lived and/or worked there.
The person that she was with the night before was with her in the WTC having brunch. That’s why no one came forward. Other option, the other person was also hiding a bisexual or lesbian relationship.
I thought this too.
You can't have brunch at 8.45am. that's just breakfast.
Idk, I feel she was gone on the 10th, nothing to do with September 11th.
Actually it is very easy to go missing. Despite my family hiring detectives this relative was gone for 3 years then suddenly reappeared on his own time. If he had died during his time away we may have never found out.
Where was he during all this time?
@@disturbed0insane He had constructed an entire new life, beautiful lady, upscale job, party with celebrities. He had given up college and never touched his bountiful savings. I was a child when this happened so I don't have any more info.
I wish I could disappear do you have any tips like I'm dead ass serious
@@thatgardeninggirl2864 no I don't. I'm not the one who disappeared. So I have no idea.
You like gardening, I do too. It refreshes the spirit.
I truly hope you can fix your situation.

In previous reading on this case, I found that the parents adamant denial of lesbian/bisexual activity intriguing. Probably very taboo. I don’t think the lingerie was for her to wear for her husband, at least not initially. I think I’ll take the lesbian affair and brunch at the WTC. Very sad. Someone who worked very hard and to have their life start a downward spiral and a mystery at the finish.
Not surprising since they’re Indian, and being gay or bisexual in the early 2000s wasn’t as accepted as it is today. I wonder if he substance abuse related to her being conflicted with who she was and who she was attracted to.
Very well said. They were in denial about it and I do think that was her on the camera that was in the apartment lobby. It's a crazy mystery
@@N4divers I sort of remember hearing this story and the narrator said that they identified who the woman was later on in the lobby , and it wasn't her.
I don’t believe her mom that she told her she was going to the WTC. Remember she’s in denial saying other things that are likely not true.
Exactly. I'm Indian and I can tell you that it's unofficially taboo to engage in sex outside marriage and them being Christian meant that it was a double whammy as they wouldn't approve of her Lesbianism
I lived in NYC on 9/11. I can say that it would be quite likely someone with medical training would be drawn into the scene. No one really anticipated the extent of the damage that would occur in that very small window of time. The chaos of that day lasted well into the days that followed and it is quite possible for someone actively entering the buildings to die while doing so. A coworker's fiance was a first responder and didn't make it out.
Windows on the World was likely not open that early, so I doubt she would be there to visit the restaurant.
I agree it’s very possible that she died in the attacks and she went in to help people that’s the most simplest explanation everything else just seems reading too much into it.
Windows was open. There was a 100 person meeting going on there and lots trapped calling 911 and the Port Authority for help or to say bye to loved ones. Also lots of people hanging out the windows to avoid smoke and or fire.
@@kinetickutz I have read books also stating there was a meeting up there to take place with a lot of people eventually trapted.
@@AllenFreemanMediaGuru trapted eh?
@@cris-rj5zf A junkie? She drank.
OMG…..it’s her brother! Sounds like Philips was a mess…and her brother finding his girlfriend and her TOGETHER was enraged at her behavior. He gave a flimsy reason for her being missing….if he was truly innocent, he’d say he hadn’t a clue to where she was or what happened to her the morning of the 11th. Is Lieberman clueless or is he lying.? 3-2 vote on NOT paying out more money. I agree.
I thought her brother had something to do with her disappearance too he was the one throwing out bizarre theories. Seemed like smoke bombs to divert everyone away from his involvement.
@@joycewilliams967 absolutely. That’s THE only thing that rang “weird.” Poor thing…she was falling apart. What an awful day / opportunistic day ( 😬 ) to go missing. She, and her situation, just got lost in the horrors of a catastrophic day. Unfortunate for her family.
I suspect her brother and Lieberman did something.
Couch and potato chip detectives. You guys are blowing me away with your amazing theories. Did you go to Harvard? Amazing deduction skills you guys really deserve praise.
@@NoxLegend1 Well, it IS a discussion forum. Usually that's why people share their ideas and theories - so they can be discussed.
I don’t know how I can laugh so hard during a video on an unsolved mystery. 😂😂😂 “ Painting and listening to music” … Love you Dr Grande! ❤️❤️
As a WTC survivor myself, I wanted to add my perspective at least of the 11th itself and how she may have disappeared. I am puzzled by the events of the 10th as so many questions are raised there, but assuming she somehow was still alive the following day I wanted to try and establish what it was like on the ground for us. Hopefully it might help flesh out her narrative.
I arrived at Fulton Station at about 8:51 AM (I lived on 74th and York uptown) and proceeded upstairs with the rest of the people who got off, and upon exiting the staircase up to street level we were all quite surprised to find the North Tower burning...obviously. I proceeded towards Building 5, which housed the Borders Books where I worked as an HR manager, where a huge crowd was gathering up along Church. The store's opening crew was huddled in a group next to the church fence across from the WTC and everyone was trying to figure out what was going on. It had only been about 5 minutes or so since the plane hit. After some agonizing moments where I saw things I cannot forget, the second plane hit and everyone scattered to the four corners and everything became absolutely surreal. It is absolutely possible she could have been in the restaurant, Windows on the World, as they had a breakfast menu and was open at the time. I'm actually getting upset as I type this. We knew people who worked there as they ordered books from us at times--travel books mostly for the tourists--so I am very aware everyone there was killed and if she was there she absolutely was as well.
If she had not yet entered the towers, she would have been blocked on the ground as they were only sending geared-up EMT and firefighters due to all the smoke, and the only victims on the ground at that point were beyond saving. I don't think the 'hero' aspect is likely at this point in time as there just wasn't really anyone to help yet that she had access to.
Thus, if she was at ground level as I was when the second plane struck, she would have scattered as we all did. However, after the panic reaction to that explosion subsided people began gravitating towards the WTC to see what was now going on. She could have found people now who may have been hurt, as debris did come down from the South Tower, plus there was shattered storefront glass everywhere. This could help substantiate the hero claim; obviously locating her remains would be a boon to the case. Now, assuming she remained in the immediate area like many of us did--as we had no clue what was next I can tell you as fact--when the South Tower let go she could have been engulfed in that avalanche of pulverized concrete that I saw barreling towards a coworker and myself. I saw it swallow the people closest; I know about dust and sand storms and what happens when you get swallowed up in them; anyone with any sense was running or taking shelter inside shops hoping the glass would hold. But if she was buried in that I believe they would have found her body once they began clearing the streets. The dust and rubble was deep in many places and they literally had to unearth bodies from the streets. But if she was found like that I believe she would have been easy to identify. In the restaurant, her remains would have become intermingled with the particles that made up everything in that tower biotic or abiotic (I teach science now; Borders Books also is no longer a thing).
I don't know if that helps or hinders. The events of the 10th are puzzling and yet the 11th is still possible. If she died at the WTC at this point I don't think we'll ever know. They waited until the Deutsche Bank was free of all detectable human remains before they demolished it, so my assumption is there was nothing of appreciable size left to collect at the site and they've identified all they can at this point. Maybe when the police were herding us along towards the Manhattan Bridge and away from the fish market when the first collapse started, she decided to just keep running and disappeared? I know it seems she didn't prepare properly to run off, but what if she had bought that stuff on a previous outing and the clothes were to avoid wearing anything someone might recognize her in?
Damn...this video has triggered me a bit more than the one you did on Danny Rolling...which also happens to be something I have a connection to. Please don't do anything on husband killer Judias Buenoano, as she lived in my home town and my mom knew her. I'm not comfortable with the idea that I am having a direct connection to more and more events like this, like I'm a disaster magnet.
The part about the Tower falling and the dust and concrete barreling towards people is an aspect that the podcast missing on 9/11 doesn't cover...
Thank you for that information I found it quite helpful
Just reading this comment made my heart hurt for you. I’m so sorry for what you experienced that day and everything you dealt with/still deal with surrounding that day. I cannot imagine what that felt like and still feels like for you even now that we’re about to hit the 20 year anniversary.
❤️
Thank you. ❤
I nearly had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
😂😂😂
This is so sad... especially for her parents. It's been 20 years and they still don't know what happened to their daughter or where she is 🥀
Wherever she is I hope she's at peace ⚘
Thank you for covering Sneha Anne Philip! It's such a fascinating and baffling case. In case you're not aware, there's an excellent podcast called "Missing on 9/11" that covers this case in extraordinary detail. On one episode, the host interviews a former supervisor of Sneha who expresses that she (Sneha) did not want to become a doctor and felt family pressure to do so. The supervisor also said that Sneha was highly intelligent and would have been capable of leaving to start another life. I'm more inclined to believe that Sneha met with foul play before the 9/11 attacks but the idea that she could still be alive is an intriguing possibility.
While I'm at it, I recommend that you look into the case of Asha Degree. It's another baffling disappearance.
Interesting but I don't know why a medical supervisor would have special knowledge about what's involved in faking your death.
@@eadweard. I recommend listening to the "Missing on 9/11" podcast. It will give you a better idea about why the supervisor thought that Sneha left on her own.
@@christinacole7019 thank you!
Wait the same woman? Confused..
First plane hit the tower at 8:46am trapping all the windows on the world restaurant people. Most people below that point were able to get out.
I'd find it hard to believe that after a night of drinking and carousing that this woman got up early enough to get herself ready and got to the tower by at least 8am to get up there prior to 8:46am. Especially in light of that it takes like 25 minutes to get from the bottom of the tower up to the restaurant. My 2cents, unlikely that she was ever there.
I agree. I think her mom lied
Agreed. Btw, most people below 92nd floor of WTC1 got out.
Very sensible
Thank you for bring up the time...makes complete sense. Although there is a 1% of they "made a night of it" and stayed up all night drinking, carousing, and had breakfast in the morning before sleeping the day away, which I have known teenagers/20 yo.'s to do, but I agree...I don't think women her age could handle that. I don't think she was there either.
@@Mama_Bear524 Probably, but there's a possibility that the mom has a phone message recording of her daughter saying that? Yeah, for several million dollars, I can see just about everybody wanted to place their missing relative in the Twin Towers!
The behavior displayed by Philips sounds like that of a manic episode. During mania people get hypersexual sometimes with members of the opposite sex and abuse drugs and alcohol and perform poorly at work. It does leave them vulnerable for Mal intent. Or possibly she was gay and felt like she wanted to be *out* however the alcohol abuse and work performance issues are a concern. If she was murdered the offenders had a good 3 months at least to get rid of the body as the whole world were concentrated on the 911. I'm assuming ALL close family members and friends were eliminated for motive. If not they should have been.
Yep! Like her brother catching her and his girlfriend having sex could have been a motive 🤔
No I know the person everything you are saying is disgusting. Imagine if I talked that way about your daughter are you out of your mind. Keep your sick fantasies to yourself.
I thought too of a manic episode. Hypersexed, alcohol to relieve her symptoms, up all hours of the night, partying with strangers, impulsive behaviors such as shopping spree when she was supposed to be home cleaning the house?
@@NoxLegend1 how is being bipolar or homosexual sick? You’re the sick one
@@sarabechtler7921 yup I'm thinking she had undiagnosed heath issue. Or maybe she was diagnosed but did not like the meds as they blunt a person a bit. God bless her and her family hard way to lose a loved one.
This has always been a very interesting case in my opinion. I saw it for the first time on Unsolved Mysteries. I've even heard several podcasters cover this case. Most of them say the same thing: she was killed in the 9/11 attacks, but I personally believe she was killed by someone. Because everyone seems to want to ignore the fact that she disappeared an entire day before the attacks occurred. My theory is that the person or persons killed her on the 10th and used the notoriety of September 11th as a distraction to cover their tracks.
I completely agree with you.
She was killed and then 9-11 happened. Her killer was lucky. End of story.
@@stephenalex4345 Exactly....Thank you.
@@DrPhil-kx3ci Exactly.....it was a COINCIDENCE....Nothing more, nothing less.
How closely was the husband looked at? She was not home on the 10th, he just says “that’s weird” and goes to bed, even knowing that it was her day off. 🧐
That really bugged me. No normal husband would just shrug it off. Even if she does that sometimes. You’d think he’d be in touch somehow. Makes no sense. Something is way off with her brother and husband imho
She didn’t have a cell phone and it sounds like it wasn’t unusual for her to spend the night with random strangers, which understandably “annoyed” him…he was probably upset that she wasn’t home, assumed it was that again and went to bed.
Apparently she had a habit of not coming home after a night of drinking. So, as Dr. Grande says, the husband was irritated but not especially concerned.
@@elliebellie7816 I still feel that particular narrative was coming from the husband. Sounds completely suspicious imho.
She was a bad wife and a false accuser, good riddance.
To be clear... The woman she was shopping with on the 10th her identity is still unknown. She never came forward to police. Why? Where are her shopping bags? They were not at her appartment. Idk where or how she died, but I do not feel like she made it past 9/11
Also, if that other woman was shopping with her was the other woman also claimed to be a victim of the 9/11 attack? Not saying I believe that. Like you, I think she died prior to the attacks - probably by murder, with suicide possible but less likely.
@@chad3232132 They asked the woman to come forward but she never did. I think the woman's family would have reported her missing too if something happened to her.
@@Sophiaaatube What if that woman was reported but was never connected to Sneha? If she was "straight" and her family thought she went there alone there wouldn't be any links to Sneha as far as the family is concerned.
Or the family wouldn't mention it to the police while reporting so people wouldn't know their daughter was bi/gay.
Because the woman (Indian descent) is now married to a man and has children. She isn’t going to come forward and admit she had lesbian affairs.
It's bizarre, I think if she was depressed, most probably commitedSuicide on the 10th.
Or one of those women got her, but why would they? Not like she's a billionaire and his card was never used after that...
When some people get drunk the alcohol get's the worst or the best out of them... so she's probably filled with regrets after failing to keep up with one job and tired of being seen as a failure..
Immigrants specifically feel great sense of shame if things didn't go the way they planned for.
I am an immigrant and we are always competing with each other constantly..
I have a friend from india told me the same thing, he told me, back in India people commit suicide in last year of high school if they don't pass the exam to get to college.
It's terrible.
The rest is just coincidence.
But I hope she's safe and sound somewhere hiding.. or starting a new life.
That’s a good insight. Thank you
Omg the suicide thing is not a rule! What the hell even?!
People kill just get their rocks off, not always for money
This is such an intriguing case. Reminds me of the disappearance of Maura Murray. All the mystery and secrecy behind the masks that these women wore. I hope their cases are solved one day
Have you heard of the disappearance of Brianna Maitland? It's somewhat similar to Maura's, making both cases even more puzzling.
@@hshsgdggge the name doesn't ring a bell, I will definitely look into that case. Thanks for the suggestion ❤ I always love a good mystery.
That disclaimer is gold.
I love these new Dr. Grande videos about cold cases I'm interested in! This particular case and the Andrew Gosden one are two that are particularly haunting to me.
Pantyhose, dress, shoes, lingerie (underwear, sleepwear?). She bought a complete outfit no one had ever seen her in.
Thanks for your analysis, Dr. Grande. In the words of our friend Jean-Luc Picard, "...to many humans, a mystery is irresistible. It MUST be solved."
I JUST listened to a podcast from 2019 about this case while I was at work! It's the Crime Junkie podcast, it's so good.
Can you post a link?
@@NoxLegend1 not sure if it'll let me, but I'll try to link it in a separate comment.
Listen to missing on 9/11!
thank you!!
She was having relationship with her brothers gf... her brother should have been investigated more. why would he falsely claim that he talked to her on morning of attacks and she was helping victims in the tower? he wanted her to be seen as she died in those attacks. She didn't kill herself as she was shopping lingerie's few hours ago.
You could be onto something.. her brother was upset she had a relationship with his gf, he lied about her going to the towers (alibi?) And what's interesting to me is Sneha returned to her apartment on the 11th minutes before the attack, she tried using the elevator but it didn't open and she exited the lobby. Her husband said when he returned to the apartment 6 hours after the attack he also couldn't enter due to the power being out. The closest family Member to the apartment was Sneha's brother. I wonder if Sneha headed over to her brother's apartment when the attacks happened. It makes sense someone would go to be with family instead of being alone during a scary event.
This story was on Unsolved Mysteries some time after 9/11. Sad and mysterious, although the most likely answer is that she died at ground zero. Under what exact circumstances is harder to pin down.
YESSS! Thank you for covering her story!
I love you so much Dr. Grande! Thank you for all you do! 😇💙
Your calm, flat delivery of sarcasm makes it SO much funnier!
I have become greatly appreciative of your videos, Grande! I love the mysteries, questions, evidence, life experiences, and conclusions over many topics. Very interesting, and non biased. One of my favorite channels on TH-cam, for sure!
Love your pragmatic organized way of analyzing cases.
I like how you report step by step the events. Thank you.
It is just amazing how there is a whole world of interesting videos for this channel. It takes a while to figure out which one to watch!
Excellent topic ..intriguing...such a tragedy. Thank you Dr. Grande.
This was a very strange case. But your analysis was brilliant Dr Grande. Thank you for all of your research and effort to deliver daily videos!💗💗
Look how many subs you have, brilliant, love your channel, glad so many others do too x
Very interesting! Haven’t heard of this case. Thanks for discussing it.
She led an irresponsible life in a major city. Had a habit of hooking up with strangers and not letting anyone know her plans or whereabouts. A Psychic has never solved one crime.
Generally psychics work with a victim who is alive so they can rip him/her off live! Psychics are for the living not the Dead.
I just dont understand why anyone would want to consult a psychic? They always give such general insights, sort of like horoscopes which apply to everyone.
Another case brought to our attention thanks Doctor!
Yet another terrific episode! I learn a great deal about human nature from Dr. Grande.
This is a bizarre and disturbing case for sure. I can't imagine all the loose and nebulous clues that must be sorted to solve this.
Dr. Grande:
I liked this video very much and I like your thoughts about this. It's always engaging to hear what you have to say and in a good way of course. 👍
I submit an alternate theory, is it unbelievable that she was a victim of an honor killing. She had family near, knowing her ethnicity and religious beliefs in her family would certainly be interesting to know.
Honor killings in New York is not unheard of. More information is needed.
In New York or by immigrants in New York, just curious? I'm Indian and unfortunately honor killing exists in Indian subcontinent.
Are they common with Hindus though?
she was christian@@eadweard.
I remember Unsolved Mysteries covering this case. Great video!
Very thought provoking Dr. G.
Thank you.
Very interesting case (it is a lot to think about), thank you for the video.
One of your most interesting stories, about people I've never heard of.
Always interesting
Thank you

Your comment is esthetically pleasing 😊
Tragic but fascinating case. Dr. Grande, have you looked into the case of Alicia Esteve Head? She was a woman who pretended to be a survivor of the 9/11 attacks and was quite high profile. It might be an interesting case to cover. Great work as always :D
Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough interpretation of the story of Sneha. I hope her family and friends find resolution.
I am familiar with this case and applaud your summary; it is a balanced, well-considered analysis. . Well done.
I love your view on psychics. Ive listened to 2 stories of yours now where you basically laugh off the whole idea and i couldnt agree more. This story is very interesting and so confusing. I hope one day her family can find out for sure what happened to her. Thank you sir!!
Such a confusing and unusual case.Thank you for your analysis Dr. Grande
Excellent analysis Dr Grande!
Dr Grande is always so insightful and concise. A real pleasure to listen to. Love the way he untangled this case and put forth his beliefs. They make a lot of sense.
Thanks for making this Dr Todd! Great Analysis.
In my opinion, I think the idea that Sneha started a new life is more likely than suicide. Especially after listening to the Missing on 9/11 podcast where the host interviews various people that knew Sneha, including Sneha’s supervisor, who told the host that Sneha confided a lot of personal stuff to her, and she thinks Sneha is still alive. The supervisor also thinks that Sneha was very intelligent, and could stage her disappearance.
I think suicide is easily the least likely answer because no remains were found. If she ended up in the Hudson River, she would have been found.
I don’t think Sneha ran into the towers after the attack, because her remains would likely been identified. In Missing on 9/11, the host breaks down all the statistics into details.
If she did die in the attacks, she would have most likely already been inside the towers before the plane hit. It’s definitely possible.
Foul play is also possible, but no remains have ever been found, or none of her belonging found. She was downtown NYC, so I think getting away with murder and hiding the body would be difficult.
In my opinion, the most likely theories are either that she died inside Windows of the World, or ran away to start a new life.
If she ran into the WTC on 9/11, there is a huge chance that her remains would not have been identified. All these years later, there are still hundreds and hundreds of remains not identified.
Why would her body have been found if it ended up in the Hudson?
How would she do that when absolutely none of her belongings were missing. Even her cards were at home except the Express card which she used on 10th. And I'm pretty sure they kept an eye on her bank account to see if there are any transactions. In all likelihood, she passed away on 11th September 2001 but how exactly is anybody's guess. Personally, I would go with the "died in the attack" thing. Probably, saw the first plane hitting the building and went in to help. People at the time had no idea of Suicide attacks.
People always try to connect this woman to that PostSecret postcard.
"Everyone who knew me before 9/11 believes I'm dead."
Good analysis Dr. Grande . I have never heard of this case till now.
Very well done. It is such a tragic story regardless of her final outcome. RIP to all the victims that terrible day in September.
