About this episode

Twenty-five years after 9/11, two women—Elizabeth Miller and Jessica Trant—whose fathers died in the Twin Towers are still fighting for justice, chasing accountability through a labyrinthine legal system and personal grief. Their powerful journey, captured in the new documentary “Daughters of 9/11,” takes them from the ashes of the towers to Guantanamo Bay, confronting the man they believe is responsible: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Despite his confession under interrogation, a military court ruled it inadmissible due to torture, delaying trial until 2028. The film doesn’t just chronicle their legal battle—it reveals how their loss became a mission, turning sorrow into resolve as they seek closure for nearly 3,000 lives lost.

It's September 10. This is Sacramento News Today, powered by AI. 25 years after the September 11 attacks, two women whose fathers were lost that day are still seeking justice. Elizabeth Miller was just 6 years old when her father, a firefighter, perished in the World Trade Center. Jessica Trent was 19 when her father, a bond salesman, died in the North Tower after a final call to his family. Their shared journey for accountability has led them to colleague Sheikh Muhammad, the man who confessed to masterminding the attacks. A new documentary, Daughters of 9-11, follows Miller and Trent as they navigate the complex legal system and their personal quests for closure. The documentary highlights the emotional toll on families, emphasizing that for them, the events of 9-11 weren't just buildings falling, but the murder of their loved ones. Trent speaks about her grief transforming into a responsibility to pursue justice, a mission that took her to Guantanamo Bay. Frank Pellegrino, a former FBI agent who interrogated Muhammad, described the suspect as arrogant

and unremorseful. Muhammad's confession, made during a four-day interrogation, has been a focal point, but a military court recently ruled it inadmissible in a future. Criminal trial due to prior torture. Despite the legal hurdles and the long way for trial, slated for 2028, the documentary aims to shed light on these processes. It explores the charges against Muhammad, including conspiracy and murder, and the ongoing efforts to bring him to justice for the nearly three thousand lives lost.
