Could you imagine the reaction from her family or the public if she turned up alive after letting them think she was dead from a horrible national tragedy?


You mean overjoyed?

Maybe she has even come back to visit people every now and then on the hush, hush....



But for what? Nothing stopping her from divorcing her husband or finding a new job or a new husband or new wife, in NYC or someplace else in US as herself. It is not like she was wanted by the police. She seems close to her family too.
And it costs quite a bit to build a new life especially given her lifestyle and can't be done overnight.

+1

She just spent a day hanging out with her mom 2 days prior and spent 2 hours texting her about her day.

Like the poster above said, she's dead. Not sure exactly how she died, but she is no longer alive for sure.



It's possible that she died in the aftermath of the towers crashing down or killed the night before but:

1. Why didn't the woman from the store come forward?
There was likely not another woman with her at the store. That's something one clerk said but it could have been someone she just randomly spoke to for a few minutes or it could have been 2 other South Asian women and the clerk couldn't tell the difference.

2. Who was the woman on the video at her apartment the morning of 9/11?
Could have been anyone really, even her returning from a late night then running out when she heard the towers commotion[b]

3. If she died on 9/11, why didn't anyone come forward to say where she spent the night of 9/10? If it were a random hook up or not, presumably this person would have come forward.

[b]This is the one thing that makes me thing she may have been murdered. Either that or the person/people she was with are too scared to come forward thinking they might become suspects.


She was going through a rough time professionally, legally, in her marriage. These may have spurred her to leave when this horrible tragedy happened. She let people think she was dead. Could you imagine the reaction from her family or the public if she turned up alive after letting them think she was dead from a horrible national tragedy?

I'm serious.This has been posted more than once here, it's not that compelling of a story that it would be something your average person thinks about. OP either is or knows about Sneha's whereabouts.


Wow, you sound crazy! This is a very compelling story. Nearly everyone is this LONG thread would agree, it's absolutely fascinating.

How wrong you are. This is an amazing thread.

I hadn't heard about this case but just looked into it and read through the sequence of events. Like others, I think she's dead - somehow. Quite possibly during the towers' collapse.

I don't believe that she just started a new life somewhere. In addition to what others have said, I think it's telling that there was NO evidence on her computer of any searches or anything else related to beginning a new life. Plus I think that she 'disappeared' relatively suddenly since she hadn't taken out any cash, and had left behind her passport, glasses, other CCs, etc. I think there would have been more indicators if she had planned to start over.

I remember during the Chandra Levy disappearance, there was evidence on her computer that she had been searching Rock Creek Park - and her remains were eventually found there (even after an initial search for her turned up empty). Forensic clues on computers and phones (etc.) - even in 2001 - provide a lot of good info, and I don't see any info for her trying to start a new life.

People go missing all the time: https://www.namus.gov

It was a lot easier then to create a new life then it is now. Why do you think there were more "deadbeat" dads in the 80s and 90s than today? Tracking and enforcement of payment improved, so these days it's mostly the people who can't afford it financially.

I still think the woman in the store would have come forward.

I agree, I don't think there's anything to suggest abuse either.

There is no indication AT ALL that Sneha was being abused by anyone. In fact, she was coming and going as she pleased, hanging out with her own friends (sometimes overnight), getting into trouble (fired from job/court) and she was freely talking to her family members.

Sneha did have have things going on in her life that she might have wanted to escape from - being fired from her job, legal issues, arguments with people close to her.

If she was feeling overwhelmed by the things going wrong in her life she could have 1) taken her own life 2) run off somewhere. The fact that she went out shopping for lingerie and 3 pairs of shoes the day that she disappeared seems to indicate that she is more likely to have run off that day. She had even been looking at coats at the store that day. Makes me wonder if she was preparing to head to a cooler climate.

Or her brother murdered her (the one who found her in bed with his girlfriend, was angry at her and lied about having spoken to her on the morning of 9-11)


Then why wouldn't her friend in the store video come forward to help fill in the timeline? It's possible one young Indian American woman went missing b/c she was buried in the rubble, but two? Another family would have come forward. This is why I don't think she was murdered--at least by anyone from her family. Maybe the woman in the store video did, but more likely they went off together.



There is no "other Indian woman" in the store surveillance video. The video only showed Sneha, shopping by herself. The "other woman" comment came from a store clerk who claimed Sneha was shopping with another woman. That theory has never been corroborated by actual evidence. Frankly, I think the store clerk was confusing Sneha for another female South Asian customer. Many thousands of people shop in that Century 21 location everyday.


This is dubbed in French based on an American tv show showing a recreation:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XcAjPzimC_c

FF to 9:17, shows her shopping alone. FF to 11:52 to her leaving with another woman. That's why the existence of the unnamed woman corroborates what the store clerk said and why the family felt it was important that this woman come forward.

Given how much attention has been given to this case, if the unidentified South Asian woman in the video leaving the store was unconnected to Sneha, she was obviously in the same store in NYC the day before 9/11 and would probably have seen/read something about it. She hasn't come forward b/c she knows where Sneha was on 9/11.

Maybe she took a cab home; as she was arriving home at 8:43am (if that time was correct), she realized she left her bags in the cab, easy to do after a night of partying.

She turned around and left the building to try to stop the taxi from driving away.

Or maybe she was afraid to go home. After her troubles and the fight at the courthouse. Maybe it was the last straw. Nobody really ever knows what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe someone was helping her start over. Maybe they advised her to NOT return to the apartment for her things. Maybe they suggested she purchase her own shoes and undergarments, and they'd supply clothing at a shelter. Maybe the bed linens were for some sort of shelter hopping she would be doing. Maybe it wasn't her seen in the security video.


Oh for Pete's sake--her purchases telegraph that she was having sex with someone other than her husband not at all that she was abused. Battered women's shelters don't have a dress code and don't make you bring your own sheets. It's not camp.

There's also no way shelter employees would keep silent this long a family think some had died in 9/11 even if it were a breach of protocol.


They absolutely will. My senior year of college, I was placed with the battered women's shelter in the college town as my internship for my senior thesis. To this day, I still do NOT know where the shelter is located in that town or if it's even in the town proper. I, and the other student placed there, met our handlers at random locations throughout the town. We then drove to another location in town, switched vehicles, and were blindfolded for the drive to the shelter. Same procedure leaving the shelter. Pick up and drop off locations were never the same. The cars used varied. The only constant for us were our handlers. I legit felt like some kind of CIA spy.

All of the helpers and handlers working there took their work very seriously. Not only that, there were lawyers, therapists, doctors, makeup artists, hair dressers, and teachers who all volunteered and were blindfolded to get to the location as well. This was back in 2005, so I can only imagine how sophisticated their operation is now. I saw the transformations the women went through before being moved out of that location to their new lives. It's much more sophisticated than simply tossing on a wig and making a run for it.


But they wouldn't withhold it from law enforcement with an active missing persons investigation.
