People

When people read on the article, "in a 9/11 survival tale, the just pieces do not fit" the rage obtained on them. They started to question WTCSN and themselves why the facts are not verified before. They asked why she did the whole act of fake to be a survivor. What was the motive?

Was it for money?

Gerry Bogcaz cleared the fact that what she did was certainly not for money. He said she had ever claimed money from the victims' compensation fund that was started by the government. He also said that she used to give money like charity to those who are needed.

Aftermath of Truth

Alicia disappeared from New York streets after the incident. In 2012, Angelo J. Guglielmo Jr. made a documentary and also published a book entitled "The woman who was not there" to interpret all the mystery of Tania Head.

Dead or alive

Nobody knew the aisles and coming from Tania Head. Later, the survivor network received an email in which they were informed that Tania was suicide. But it was also a lie, she was seen in the streets of New York years after being exposed.
