I went looking around this site for info. There are several threads, but no new info.
In one thread, mozartpc27's post pretty much sums up how I feel about it:
--------
I've thought about this case for half a day now, and, on balance, my guess is that she was murdered on September 10th.
The two things you've got to balance here are these: on the one hand, well over 1,000 people disappeared within a day and within a square mile of where Dr. Phillips disappeared who have never been officially "found." That, in my mind, makes it a whole lot more likely than it would be otherwise that she disappeared in the same incident, namely the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
On the other hand, there is the matter of her credit card use and what she took with her to shop that day. ALL she took was her husband's credit card, and it was never used after the purchases in the department store. If she did survive in the night of the tenth, where did she go on no money and no purchases? Are we to believe a random stranger she just met paid for all her drinks? And her food? Even if this was a friend, apprently this friend insisted that her doctor friend not pay for anything? That's quite a buddy.
This fact alone --- that she never spent another dime of her own money after her day in the department store --- makes me suspect she died before the night was out. The question is: who killed her?
I'd love to know how/why the police eventually cleared her husband. Most of what we know depends on his account, and he has got to be the likeliest suspect here.
--------
She left no money trail. That's one thing that stands out to me. There's been no activity on her credit cards? She didn't withdraw money from her savings account? Authorities didn't find a separate, secret bank account, or secret credit cards, that her husband was unaware of?
If she left willingly, she would have arranged to have some kind of financial support but it appears that she never used her credit cards, nor her husband's card (the one she shopped with on 9/10), nor accessed her accounts.
