In September 2001, the disappearance of a physician in Manhattan became complicated when the United States suffered one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. No one had seen Dr. Sneha Philip since September 10th, but with every new clue uncovered in the wake of tragedy, a new list of questions emerged for her loved ones. The years of uncertainty have been long and confusing for most, however, with the passage of time, her family has finally reached a closure of their own.

Christine Morton was found by a neighbor, bludgeoned in her home after a night of celebrating her husband's birthday. The police immediately zero'd in on a suspect, secured a conviction, and marked "case closed" on another job well done.
