Airline Ticket Agent May Have Stopped Human Trafficking Of Two Girls

Children Were Booked From California To New York When American Airlines Employee Noticed Something Wrong

An American Airlines employee checking in passengers for a flight from Sacramento to New York may have prevented the human trafficking of two young girls, and took action that may have prevented the crime from happening.

Television station WCBS reports that ticket agent Denise Miracle was working the counter at Sacramento International Airport when the two girls approached the counter. She said that the two were by themselves, but they were texting someone who was providing answers and seemed very nervous. The carried no ID and little luggage.

Miracle then noticed that the girls' tickets to New York, which had been purchased using a credit card that did not match the name of either of the girls, were first class and one-way. It was then she called the sheriff.

The girls, ages 15 and 17, told authorities that they had met a man they called "Drey" on the social media site Instagram who had invited them to New York for the weekend. He told them they would be paid $2,000 for some modeling in music videos. The girls said they had told their parents that each was staying over at the home of the other.

The girls were almost dismissive about the potential danger, Sacramento County Police Deputy Todd Sanderson said. He said the girls were convinced that they would be able to prevent anything bad from happening to them.

When "Drey" was investigated on Instagram, authorities said he deleted all of his profiles on social media within minutes of being contacted.
