True Crime NYC

The disappearance of Dr. Sneha Anne Philip has never been covered on a podcast - until now. The basic details of her disappearance - that she was last seen on September 10, 2001 shopping at a department store in lower Manhattan - have been reported. However, lots of people who have read about her story studied her case, or who knew her have been skeptical about whether she died in the 9/11 attacks. It was a question from a Redditor on a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) that Kristin Thorne hosted that got us thinking here at "Missing" about Sneha's case. In this episode of "Missing," we take a deeper look at Sneha's life and whether it's possible that she did not die in the 9/11 attacks as determined by only the New York courts - not by the NYPD, not by the family's private investigator and not by witnesses. Did something happen to the 31-year-old doctor the night before the event that changed the course of history? Is it possible that Sneha is still alive? Learn more about your ad choices.

On the morning of March 18, 1999, teenager Leanne Marie Hausberg disappeared into thin air. The 14-year-old left her family's apartment in Brooklyn and has never been heard from again. For almost 23 years, Leanne's family has lived with the agony of not knowing what happened to her. I hope that by bringing their emotional story to the world, people will try to find Leanne or - at the very least - come forward with information they may have about where she went or who she was with when she disappeared.

Welcome to the 'True Crime NYC' podcast and our series 'Missing' which tells the stories of missing people who never got the coverage they deserved. Every single victim and every single family deserves justice -- and that's the mission of this series. It all began on Sept. 13, 2021, the first day Channel 7 Eyewitness News investigative reporter Kristin Thorne covered the disappearance of Gabby Petito and met with her distraught parents on Long Island. The story consumed the next two months of her life. Throughout this time, she spoke routinely with Gabby's father, Joseph Petito. Most of what they spoke about, she has never reported, but one thing he made clear to her is that he wanted the media to cover other missing people. He said they deserved attention, too, and he was right. Kristin started to look at databases of missing people and as she scrolled through the hundreds of faces, she thought about not only those people but their families and friends and the ripple effect of pain that is caused when they disappeared. She thought, "Maybe I can help?" Now, with the "Missing" series - a part of the 'True Crime NYC' podcast - she is shining a light on victims that might have previously been overlooked in the hopes that the exposure will lead to new clues, and more families and loved ones finding justice.
