An American Airlines ticketing agent used her instincts to save two underage girls from getting lured into flying to New York to meet a man who had promised them jobs in modeling and entertainment industry, last year.
Denise Miracle, an American Airlines customer service agent, sensed that something did not seem right when two teenagers — aged 15 and 17 years, who have not been identified — came up to the ticket counter at Sacramento International Airport, California, where she was working on Aug. 31.
“Between the two of them, they had a bunch of small bags. It seemed to me as if they were running away from home,” Miracle said in the release, Sacramento Bee reported. “They kept looking at each other in a way that seemed fearful and anxious. I had a gut feeling that something just wasn’t right.”
Further suspicion arose when she found out that the girls were not accompanied by an adult and neither of them was carrying any IDs. Denise immediately alerted the Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies, who traced the payment of the girls’ tickets to a fraudulent credit card.
