Denice Miracle worked as an American Airlines ticket agent at Sacramento International Airport in California. She was working behind the counter when a pair of teen girls approached her and handed her their plane tickets.
The two young ladies, aged 15 and 17, claimed they were attempting to board a flight to New York City. They just had a few pieces of luggage, no identification, and no adults with them on their journey.
The attentive agent observed that the tickets were purchased online using a credit card that did not belong to either of the two girls. Denice then examined the extremely expensive first-class tickets more closely, and her instincts warned her something was seriously wrong.
The frightening truth about who booked the teens’ plane ticket came to light only after authorities arrived. Denice is now being hailed as a hero by American Airlines for perhaps saving the lives of the teenagers.
Denice asked the young women to take a step back and wait while she worked on a problem with their tickets. She then had a private conversation with her boss about notifying the sheriff.
Watch the video below to discover how Denice’s bravery and intuition played out in this bizarre incident.
