Our Editor's Take

The Missing on 9/11 podcast discusses one of the strangest stories connected with that day. Fans of true crime podcasts may like this show. The mystery surrounds a 31-year-old Indian-American physician, Dr. Sneha Anne Philip. She was a newlywed and had a career in medicine stretching ahead of her. One day, she goes missing a few blocks from her Manhattan apartment. And it happened around the corner from the famous World Trade Center. She also disappeared on September 10, 2011, the day before one of the most monumental moments in history. With little evidence to examine, her family hunted for answers. But with one story capturing the media's attention, hers fell out of attention.

Jon Walczak, the host of Missing in Alaska, created this podcast. That first series examined mysterious disappearances in what people call the Alaska Triangle. One was the disappearance of two U.S. Congressmen whose plane vanished in the 1970s. Despite one of the most extensive searches in American history, searches never found the wreckage. Jon traveled as far as the Arctic Circle to investigate the story. And now he has a new mystery to figure out with the sudden disappearance of Dr. Phillip. The Missing on 9/11 series attempts to solve it.

Episode by episode, new questions, and new evidence get discovered. Jon views footage from department store security cameras near Dr. Philip's apartment. He interviews the NYPD and uncovers FBI audio from that fateful day. He even involves AI technology and consults a police sketch artist in his search for answers. Did she get caught up in the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers? Or did she choose that moment to flee her own life? Were marital problems or alcohol-related issues to blame for her disappearance? Why did her family not believe the police reports? This missing-person story may enthrall listeners as Jon tries to discover what happened. This limited-run podcast aired in 2021. Missing on 9/11 had ten episodes and two bonus episodes.
