Imagine your Ron Lieberman. You
0:05
went to work on nine eleven, terrorists
0:08
slammed jetliners into two skyscrapers
0:11
only nine feet from your apartment. You
0:14
don't know where your wife says stayed
0:16
last night, she never came home,
0:18
and you can't leave the hospital where you work.
0:21
You're an emergency doctor, and man, you think
0:23
there's gonna be a massive surge of severely
0:26
injured patients. There's misinformation
0:28
and more planes and crashes and chaos
0:31
and panic. Later, you
0:33
hop in an ambulance, get as close as you
0:35
can to your apartment, hop out and
0:37
walk past smoldering ruins. And
0:41
now it's like nine or ten PM and
0:44
you're standing in front of your chained up building,
0:46
flashing a light to the only residents
0:48
still there, asking them to see if
0:50
your wife is home. She isn't.
0:53
But you can't just sleep. You
0:56
feel sick, bubbling, anxiety,
0:58
exhaustion, irvis energy,
1:01
tired but wired. So
1:03
you go to a high school near the World Trade Center,
1:06
a staging area, and volunteer. Finally,
1:09
around two AM you leave. You
1:11
walk to a friend's place in the West Village. You
1:14
crashed on their couch, fit
1:16
full feverish sleep for
1:26
my Heart Media. This is Missing on
1:28
nine eleven, The story of one woman
1:30
who vanished on the eve of history and
1:32
my quest to find her. I'm your host,
1:35
John Wallzac. On
2:04
September twelve, two th one, Weary
2:07
and in shock, Ron uses a volunteer
2:09
badge to once again slip past security
2:11
barricades into the restricted zone.
2:14
A post apocalyptic dust escape
2:16
nine eleven reduced the World Trade Center to
2:18
two million tons of debris, the
2:21
pile, they call it, and later
2:23
ground zero. Accompanied
2:25
by friends, Ron makes his way to to Rector
2:28
Place in Battery Park City, where
2:30
he and Snaha live. Sammy
2:32
Fliciano, a doorman, is already
2:34
there along with two other building employees,
2:37
going door to door checking each unit.
2:39
Well, were checking the apartments. One of the one
2:41
of the pieces of the of the airplane. One
2:44
of the pieces was inside one of the apartments. I
2:46
remember that. Wow,
2:50
Yeah, I remember when I went to one of the apartments
2:53
and there was a piece of an airplane inside
2:55
the one of the apartments, the small new piece.
2:58
It's true, part of one of
3:00
the planes that hit the Twin towers, flew
3:02
nine feet south and crashed
3:04
into an apartment at Rector.
3:07
The FBI stops by to take custody of it.
3:10
When Ron gets to the building, the power
3:12
is off, so he takes the stairs and
3:15
enters his apartment. Here's
3:18
what he told in two thousand one.
3:20
Everything looked untouched and there was just this gray
3:23
layer of of soot everywhere through
3:25
the apartment because one of the windows was open. I was really
3:27
looking very hard to see if I could see any trace
3:29
of her, and there was nothing. Nothing
3:32
human. But Ron does see
3:34
prints in the dust, cat prints. He
3:37
and have two cats, Figa
3:39
and Collie. Figa is a vulgar
3:41
Italian word for forgive me here
3:44
pussy. Collie with a K is
3:46
the Hindu goddess of death and destruction,
3:49
the black mother goddess who inhabits
3:51
the cremation ground. She's associated
3:53
with sexuality and violence, but also
3:56
maternal love. Viga and Collie
3:58
left little Prince all over apartment
4:00
in the nine eleven dust. Using
4:02
a digital camera, Ron starts taking
4:04
pictures. I haven't
4:06
been able to view the images, but I'd love
4:08
to. He also grabs some stuff,
4:11
including two phone books packed with numbers.
4:13
Then he leaves. When he started making calls,
4:16
I called every single person in her phone book,
4:18
and no one had heard from her. Next
4:21
up flyers designed by
4:23
Say has older brother Ashwyn. They
4:26
quickly go up all over the city,
4:28
thousands of images of black
4:31
and white and in color too. She's
4:33
everywhere and nowhere quote
4:37
missing since before the World Trade
4:39
Center attack. Last seen five
4:41
pm Monday one.
4:44
Dr sna and Philip M. D
4:47
black hair, brown eyes, five six
4:50
and fifteen pounds olive skin,
4:52
Indian, thirty one years old, physician
4:55
at St. Vincent's Hospital, Staten Island.
4:58
Last known to be at Century any one
5:00
across from w TC Monday,
5:03
eighteen pm, while leaving with multiple
5:05
large shopping bags, wearing a brown
5:08
knee length short sleeve shirt dress
5:10
and sandals. End quote
5:12
and at the bottom Ron and Ashwin's
5:15
phone numbers, an email, and a website
5:17
Ashwin created. If you want,
5:19
you can view an archive version of the site
5:21
via the Internet Archives way Back Machine.

A G I L A b dot

com slash snay. For
5:38
the families and friends of World Trade Center victims,
5:41
posting flyers around the city is therapeutic,
5:44
but ultimately, for the most part, not
5:46
useful. The flyers are portraits
5:48
of humanity, of grief, of love,
5:51
but their investigative utility is minimal.
5:54
They can't bring back victims who were,
5:56
say, trapped above the point of impact
5:58
high end the towers, unable to escape.
6:01
But the flyer of snay Huh is different
6:04
because there's no evidence snayhow was actually
6:06
in the towers. Maybe she's
6:08
just lost or in a hospital
6:11
or a shelter. I think she's
6:13
alive. I think she's
6:15
somewhere and I just can't find her yet. I
6:20
want you to feel this immediacy.
6:22
Your wife is missing. Time is
6:24
running out, so you pacete flyers,
6:27
and when you run out of energy, you paste more
6:29
with a sense of purpose. Flyers
6:32
are just the start, though. Snay House
6:34
family also goes on a media blitz, or
6:37
to be more accurate, they try to get
6:39
media attention. Initially they
6:41
fail. Thousands are missing.
6:44
There are too many stories to tell and
6:46
too few reporters to tell them. So
6:48
on the evening of nine and an act
6:50
of desperation, snay house younger brother,
6:53
John approaches a reporter with w ABC
6:55
and says this but on the phone with
6:58
her and she and she told me that she was She
7:00
couldn't leave because there was there are people who are hurt.
7:03
I told her, come on, you know, just just leave
7:05
the building, and and
7:07
she said, no, I have to help this person over here. Is
7:09
lest its last
7:12
thing I heard from her. None
7:14
of it is true. It's all
7:16
a lie. John made it up. He
7:19
did not speak to snay Haa on nine eleven.
7:22
Weird, right, This guy just calmly,
7:24
casually and convincingly lies saying
7:27
he spoke to snay Haa on nine eleven that
7:29
she called him when she ran into the burning towers
7:31
to save people. But when
7:34
you think about it, is it really that weird?
7:36
If your wife or daughter or sister
7:39
disappeared, if you felt a sense
7:41
of urgency, if you felt like no one
7:43
was paying attention, what would you do.
7:47
It isn't just John's lie that grabs
7:49
reporters, though The Flyer works
7:51
too. Remember Hugo Kogia,
7:54
the man in episode one who knew snayha
7:56
in Seattle in the nineties whose ex girlfriend
7:58
was snay has roommate well. By
8:01
two thousand one, Hugo is living in New
8:03
York working as a reporter for Newsday,
8:05
and by chance he sees the Flyer.
8:08
She looked pretty much the same I guess she did
8:10
pretty much the same. And then I saw her name
8:14
and say, huh, I mean that's a
8:16
pretty unique name, snay Huff
8:18
Phillip. And I want to
8:20
say. It took five to ten
8:23
seconds and then I put it together.
8:25
Wait a minute, this, I think this has
8:27
to be her. I mean, it looks like her.
8:29
I think it looks like it looks like what I remember.
8:32
It looks like the person I remember. And
8:34
I'm almost positive that was her
8:37
name. But right it didn't add up that she was
8:40
in New York, because this is someone
8:42
a new from Seattle. Um, so
8:44
that also seemed unlikely. You
8:46
know, I'm going to say that it
8:50
was really out. Not until I spoke
8:52
to her husband that I think I
8:55
right. So even even at that point, I thought
8:58
I'd pretty sure this is her, But until
9:00
I spooked her husband, I didn't know for sure. Hugo's
9:05
article, prompted by the fire Ron's
9:07
on September two, one
9:10
headline lost in attacks wake
9:13
family fears for city woman missing
9:15
since September by all signs,
9:18
snay Ha Philip is
9:20
one of dozens, hundreds thousands
9:23
of people who go missing every day
9:25
of every year for any number of reasons
9:28
she is different because she went missing in
9:30
Lower Manhattan the night before
9:32
one of the biggest events in American history.
9:35
While the following buildings might not have killed
9:37
her, they essentially erased her. Here's
9:40
what Ron said. I know we live in
9:42
a random universe, but is it really that
9:44
random? Is what happened to her and what
9:46
happened on September eleven unlucky timing
9:49
or is it connected? The police
9:51
keep trying to lump her in with the missing people from
9:53
the World Trade Center. I don't know if it's
9:55
because they don't believe me, or they just
9:57
don't want to deal with anything else. We're
10:00
using valuable time. If she's somewhere,
10:02
we can save her. The
10:05
family has filed two reports with the FBI,
10:07
a missing person's report with detectives
10:09
at the First Precinct and with authorities
10:12
investigating the World Trade Center disaster.
10:14
They've hired a private investigator, checked
10:17
hospitals and shelters, posted flyers
10:19
all over Lower Manhattan, and phoned
10:22
every person in snay Haw Phillips addressed
10:24
book. They've even consulted with a
10:26
psychic who told Lieberman his
10:28
wife is somewhere safe, unharmed,
10:31
but unable to speak initially,
10:34
snay House family does not think she
10:37
was at the World Trade Center on nine eleven.
10:39
Denial maybe, but logic
10:42
too. Here's what Ron told Rachel
10:44
Shier, a reporter with the New York Daily
10:46
News. The only link to the
10:48
World Trade Center is that we live in Battery
10:50
Park City. We never go there.
10:53
She had no business being there. Shire's
10:56
article runs on September headline
10:59
She's law in a sea of missing Battery
11:02
Park City doc vanished the day before
11:04
attack. When you contacted
11:06
me and said that you were interested in a story that
11:08
I wrote, I instantly guessed that it was that
11:10
it was that one, because out
11:13
of all the stories I wrote for the Daily News,
11:15
um that that is honestly the one I remember
11:18
the most. Shire started
11:20
working for the Daily News eleven
11:23
she was in Brooklyn, unable to make it
11:25
into Manhattan. I was a New York
11:27
reporter, and and like our
11:30
our instinct was to go and try and and
11:32
and get close to the place to do our jobs.
11:34
And there was a sense of
11:36
of like excitement, because you
11:39
know, that's what we're sort of trained
11:41
to feel when when a big story
11:43
happens. Um strangely enough,
11:45
I mean, also was this horrific thing that
11:48
was sort of beyond anybody's comprehension.
11:51
And I mean, now we all look back on it,
11:53
you know, we all know what happened,
11:55
but you know, in the moment, of course,
11:57
we we didn't anticipate. It
12:00
was just impossible
12:02
to imagine that that the World Trade Center
12:05
was going to collapse after
12:07
the attacks, one of her editors assigned
12:09
her a story on the family
12:11
believed that if the media,
12:14
you know, covered the story that at
12:17
that point, it was still days after
12:19
she had disappeared, and so I think
12:21
that they had a belief that the
12:24
more coverage there was of
12:26
her story, the more chance they
12:28
had of finding her. Tell me what you
12:30
remember about reporting it, what you remember
12:33
about it? Well, I remember I
12:35
remember talking to her husband, Ron.
12:39
I can't remember now exactly
12:42
what he remember him being very distraught.
12:46
Um, you know, and really again,
12:49
I mean, I think that my story,
12:51
I think was one of the earlier ones that was written
12:53
about her case. It was just days
12:56
after nine eleven, or a week
12:58
or two afterwards. So you
13:00
know, they still had a lot of hope that
13:03
that maybe they would locate her or at least find
13:05
out what had happened to her, and
13:08
Um, I remember him being very
13:10
you know, very distraught and really
13:14
kind of at
13:16
his wits end about what had
13:18
happened to her, And he
13:21
was very focused on
13:23
the idea that somehow what
13:25
had happened to her, if I'm
13:27
remembering this correctly, had had somehow
13:30
connected to nine eleven. He had
13:32
this idea that maybe
13:35
the day before she had been
13:37
at you know, in the wrong place, you
13:40
know, or or in proximity
13:42
to the wrong people, like you sort of theorized
13:45
that maybe there were you
13:47
know, there were terrorists who were lurking around
13:50
the day before nine eleven, you know,
13:52
and she had sort of been in
13:54
the wrong place at the wrong time or something.
13:56
I mean, I don't that was I
13:59
don't think based on any actual evidence
14:02
or or or reality.
14:04
But of course these were early days, like we
14:06
knew much less about
14:08
the whole event of nine
14:11
eleven than we do now. Um
14:13
so, I mean, and also it was just
14:15
a time. I think it was
14:17
a very strange moment in New York,
14:21
especially where you know, the world
14:23
had turned upside down and there
14:25
was this kind of general sense
14:27
that we had entered this this
14:29
kind of apocalyptic reality where anything
14:32
was possible. Snay House
14:34
story also appears on multiple TV
14:36
programs, including Extra and where
14:39
her mom Onto makes an
14:41
emotional plea for help. I
14:44
have the feeling that she is alive and
14:47
that we are not getting enough
14:49
how to go to find her, and
14:52
that's the hardest block. Snay
14:57
House family is skeptical of the ny
14:59
p D. They take matters into
15:01
their own hands and hire a private investigator,
15:05
and when he fails to turn up leads, they
15:07
hire another investigator, a retired
15:10
FBI agent named Ken Gollant, who
15:12
declined to speak with me. All
15:14
the while, they pushed the NYPD hard.
15:17
They don't want SNA preemptively written
15:19
off as quote, just another nine
15:21
eleven victim. They need people
15:24
to understand. They need the cops to
15:26
understand that something could have happened
15:28
to say, before nine eleven she
15:31
disappeared on she
15:33
could still be alive. The
15:59
first big clue arrives via credit
16:01
card records say used
16:03
Ron's Amex to make two purchases at
16:05
Century twenty one on the evening of six
16:08
oh five pm bed linens and lingerie,
16:13
three pairs of shoes. Ron
16:15
calls Century twenty one and they allow
16:17
him to view their security footage and
16:20
for about two weeks. I set and watched this tape for about
16:22
five hours a day, you know, frame by
16:24
frame. It's one of those stop action photos.
16:27
What I actually found my wife on the tape shopping
16:29
alone. There she
16:31
is, in slow motion, browsing
16:34
through coats. The time stamp says
16:36
sixteen fifty seven military
16:38
time for four fifty seven PM.
16:41
That's a problem. There's a discrepancy
16:44
because, according to the nyp DNA
16:47
left her apartment between five fifteen
16:49
and five thirty thirty
16:51
minutes after she was caught on tape in
16:53
century one impossible.
16:56
So something's off, either the
16:58
camera's clock or the end I p d S timeline.
17:01
Anyway, PM, three
17:04
pairs of shoes, then nothing.
17:07
Here is snay Haus cousin au in
17:09
two thousand two Unsolved Mysteries.
17:12
She leaves the store and then she just disappears.
17:15
There is not a trace of her nothing,
17:19
not a credit card transaction, no money
17:21
taken out of her account, no emails,
17:23
no phone calls. Nothing. How
17:25
does that happen? It's it's a
17:27
complete mystery.
17:32
As snay House family frantically searches
17:34
for clues, a critical witness comes
17:36
forward. Her name is Sonya
17:38
Mora. She's a shoe saleswoman
17:40
at Century She claims
17:43
to remember ringing up Snayha and
17:46
something else. She says Snaha
17:48
was with someone another woman
17:51
except what she is that true?
17:55
This is a critical clue. But the mystery
17:57
woman does not show up with sna on Century
17:59
twenty one security footage, and
18:01
Sonya, the saleswoman, well, her
18:04
story either changed multiple times
18:06
or it's been misreported by the NYPD,
18:09
snay House family and the media.
18:12
Because I've seen multiple versions of it
18:14
and they can't all be true. We
18:16
reached out to Sonya, but once we identified
18:19
ourselves as journalists, she stopped responding
18:22
and she changed her voicemail greeting to remove
18:24
her name for now. Then,
18:26
unfortunately, we have to rely
18:28
on second hand accounts of what Sonya claimed
18:30
to have seen on the evening of nine. In
18:33
one version, Sonya said snay House
18:35
with another woman, an Indian woman, who
18:37
she described as a friend. The two
18:39
women allegedly told Sonya that after buying
18:42
shoes, they might go quote to the lingerie
18:44
area, presumably inside Century
18:47
twenty one. In another version,
18:49
according to Sonya, snay might
18:51
have been with another woman. Maybe
18:55
these are obviously very
18:57
different accounts. In one
19:00
is clearly with another woman. She speaks
19:02
to Sonya directly and says she and
19:05
the mystery woman might go to the lingerie
19:07
area in the other Sonya
19:09
isn't even sure if the two women are together. And
19:12
then there's this. Remember earlier
19:14
when I gave you the website snay How's older brother
19:17
Ashwyn created imagical lab dot
19:19
com slash snay Haa. Well,
19:21
via an archive version of that site,
19:24
I found something that, to my knowledge, has
19:26
never been reported in any account of snay
19:28
house disappearance. According to
19:30
the site, quote, Ron spoke
19:32
to the saleswoman who assisted snay Haa at
19:35
century one. She said Snayha
19:37
was in good spirits and with another Indian
19:40
maybe woman around thirty
19:42
five to a hundred and twenty pounds
19:44
with short black hair, and that
19:46
they were headed to Victoria's Secret and
19:49
Jones of New York. End quote.
19:52
This is the very first concrete clue
19:54
I've ever seen indicating where sna
19:57
may have gone on after century
19:59
twenty one. For some reason, though
20:02
her family never mentioned it publicly, not
20:04
in interviews, and later not in court,
20:07
it exists only on one archive
20:09
page of a site created right after nine
20:11
eleven by say As brother Ashwin
20:14
is it true, which account of
20:16
the last known sighting of sna is accurate?
20:19
What was she alone clearly with
20:21
another woman, maybe with another
20:23
woman going to the lingerie
20:25
area or specifically to
20:28
Victoria's Secret and Jones New York. Unfortunately
20:31
I don't know. Ashwyn says
20:34
older brother did not respond to interview
20:36
requests. So
20:40
what about the version in which Snay and
20:42
the mystery woman said that after century
20:44
one they were going to Victoria's Secret
20:47
and Jones New York, a clothing store. If
20:50
accurate, this is a critical clue,
20:52
the only clue so far about
20:54
where may have gone on after
20:57
century So, even
21:00
though I think this is a long shot, I
21:02
tried to find all Victoria's Secret
21:04
and Jones New York locations in Manhattan
21:06
in two thousand one to see if there
21:08
were any neighborhoods or malls that had both
21:10
stores to see where Snahob might
21:12
have gone. First, I contacted
21:15
Authentic Brands Group, which owns Jones
21:17
New York, and L Brands, which owns
21:19
Victoria's Secret. Authentic Brands
21:22
didn't respond to us at all. L
21:24
Brands told me that they looked into it and quote,
21:27
do not have the information you are requesting
21:29
a list of their Manhattan's stores in two thousand
21:31
one. So we dug into old
21:33
phone books. A quick shout out here
21:36
to the New York Public Library, which searched
21:38
through a two thousand one phone book for US and
21:40
sent us scanned images. We
21:42
found eight Victoria's Secret locations
21:44
in Manhattan, but only one Jones New
21:47
York store. Interestingly enough,
21:49
one of the Victoria's Secret stores was
21:51
in the mall underneath the World Trade Center.
21:54
Do you hear it mentioned in this emergency
21:56
dispatch from nine eleven a
22:01
minute ago? And I was set up
22:03
the building buildings now building
22:05
now, I was treatment
22:08
build all this
22:11
day. I got it on the floor
22:13
of that. It
22:18
makes sense that on Snayhop
22:21
may have gone to this Victoria's Secret
22:23
in the mall under the Trade Center. It
22:25
would have been on the way back to her apartment,
22:28
but she would have had only forty minutes to get
22:30
there and shop. She left Century
22:32
one around seven eighteen pm, and the
22:35
Victoria's Secret at the Trade Center closed
22:37
at eight pm. Also, there
22:39
was no Jones New York store in the Trade
22:41
Center mall. In fact, the only
22:43
Jones New York store in Manhattan in two
22:46
thousand one that we could find was located
22:48
at one nineteen West Street
22:50
in Midtown. The nearest Victoria's
22:53
Secret to that was at four Seventh
22:55
Avenue, a five minute walk. So
22:58
if the account in which Hot and the mystery
23:01
Woman said they were going to Victoria's Secret
23:03
and Jones, New York is true, and that's
23:05
a big if, then maybe they went
23:07
to Midtown. Anyway,
23:10
what about the mystery woman? Did Snayhouse
23:12
stay with her the night of did
23:15
she even exist? Here's snay
23:17
House cousin on you on Unsolved Mysteries.
23:20
We have no idea who this person is and
23:23
that she never existed in Snail's past. We've
23:25
gone through her phone books, We've gone through email.
23:27
There's no like phone
23:30
call even made to this person during that day.
23:33
She doesn't exist anywhere else.
23:36
I mean, it could be very possible Snail run
23:38
into her. It could be an old time friend. But
23:41
if the woman was an old time friend,
23:43
why would she stay in the shadows. She
23:46
never came forward, not to snay House
23:48
family, not to the cops, not
23:50
to the press. As
24:15
Snayhouse family forced forward with an
24:17
independent investigation, the NYPD
24:20
was on the case too. The lead investigator's
24:23
name was Detective Richard Stark. I
24:26
tried really hard to find Stark.
24:28
Unfortunately his name is more common
24:30
than you'd think. Good
24:34
evening, Hey, Richard, this is John Waltzock.
24:36
How are you alright? So?
24:39
How are you good? So? I don't
24:41
know if I have the right person. I'm looking for a
24:43
detective Richard Stark or Starks,
24:45
who investigated, uh, the
24:47
Snayhoff Phillip case and the fall of two thousand
24:50
one. Would that be you? No?
24:53
No, that that that is not me. This
24:57
was Richard A. Starks, who also
25:00
worked for the NYPD. Coincidentally,
25:02
on nine eleven, Richard A. Starks
25:04
saw United flight hit
25:07
the South Tower and later he worked
25:09
at ground zero looking for bodies. But
25:12
wrong guy. Then
25:15
there's Richard Stark, an eight year old
25:17
nine eleven survivor who escaped from the
25:19
Marriott World Trade Center, the hotel
25:22
between the twin Towers. Nope,
25:25
Plus a Richard Stark in Arizona who
25:27
runs the NYPD the New York
25:30
Pizza Department. But
25:32
as hard as I tried, I could not find
25:35
the Richard Stark, the one who investigated
25:38
this case. He's never spoken
25:40
publicly about it. He's never given
25:42
an interview until
25:44
now. Um and a Richard Stark,
25:46
Um, I live
25:49
in Manhattan, Oh, the police office
25:51
from five
25:55
next time on missing on nine eleven? Were
25:57
you able visually to make an identification
26:00
of that woman as her? How much
26:03
how certain were you? How much doubt did you? Not?
26:06
A facial? No? No, not a positive idea?
26:12
This week A little vignette. It
26:15
doesn't fit neatly into the narrative, but
26:17
I want to include it anyway. Shortly
26:19
after nine eleven, Patrick Tracy,
26:22
an Irish doctor and world renowned aesthetic
26:24
medicine specialist, visited New York.
26:27
While wandering the streets, he saw
26:29
one of the ubiquitous missing Snayhuff flyers.
26:32
He took it with him back to Ireland, a
26:34
nine eleven memento, a piece of history.
26:37
Later, he framed it alongside an article
26:40
he wrote for the Irish Medical Times and
26:42
hung it in a library in his Dublin clinic.
26:45
Well around June two thousand and six. Guests
26:47
who visited the clinic and saw the poster
26:50
Michael Jackson. Tracy
26:53
writes in his book Behind the Mask about
26:55
Jackson quote, his attention
26:57
was drawn to a picture high on the for
27:00
part of my wall, which he studied intensely.
27:03
It was an image of a young doctor sna
27:06
and Philip, who had gone missing during
27:08
the World Trade Center terrorist attack. I
27:11
watched as Michael stood up, took
27:13
the picture from the wall and studied it.
27:16
His facial expression totally changed
27:19
and his eyes grew sad as he focused
27:21
on the picture of the missing intern set
27:23
against the twisted wreckage of the buildings.
27:26
That the singer was a deeply empathetic person
27:29
was now beyond doubt in my mind. That's
27:32
so very sad, he said in a
27:34
mournful voice. Recently
27:37
I spoke to Dr Tracy via Skype. Jackson
27:40
was already upset at Tracy's clinic.
27:42
He had just shown him his videlago
27:44
and burned scars. Then he saw
27:47
the flyer of snay Ha. So do you think
27:49
that this poster when he saw, in addition
27:51
to discussing vid al Ago, you think that's kind
27:53
of what triggered that moment for him.
27:56
I think he wanted to
27:58
cry, probably anyway, and
28:00
he had left the room and just GiB a sort
28:02
of a focus. But he didn't do anything more
28:05
than we presides and talked, you know, sort
28:07
of in an emotional sense. So
28:10
there you have it. Snay House family
28:12
and friends were so successful in spreading
28:14
the missing flyer that years later
28:17
even Michael Jackson saw it in
28:19
Ireland homework
28:22
this week. One? Did you
28:25

28:44
York in Manhattan in two thousand one?
28:47
