Colleen Barkow, 26, of Jamestown Road in Twin Rivers was at her job at Cantor Fitzgerald Securities on the 103rd floor of 1 World Trade Center Plaza when the first airliner struck her building. Mrs. Barkow’s husband, Dan, said he has not heard from her.
Mr. Barkow, who was to celebrate his first anniversary Monday, said he would soon be leaving for New York City to bring his wife’s medical and dental records to authorities as requested, as well as a hairbrush from which hairs will be taken for DNA testing.
United Airlines said Lorraine G. Bay was a flight attendant aboard Flight 93, which departed from Newark and crashed in Stonycreek, Pa., shortly after the first of the two Twin Towers collapsed. The Hightstown dental offices of Dr. John Laudenberger confirmed it has provided dental records to identify a Lorraine Bay of East Windsor.
Also, the East Windsor Regional School District confirmed that one high school student has still not heard from his or her father, who worked at the World Trade Center.
