Flight attendant discovers concealed message in aircraft lavatory saying “I need help” – promptly contacts the police.

While for many, flying conjures images of pleasant vacations, not everyone views it that way. Shelia Fredrick, a seasoned flight attendant, is well-accustomed to handling challenging situations with passengers. Yet, she never anticipated encountering something life-altering. But that’s precisely what occurred during a flight from Seattle to San Francisco.

While on the plane, Shelia noticed something rather peculiar—a young blonde girl in disheveled clothing seated next to an elderly man in well-kept attire. As she passed by them, she couldn’t help but notice the intense look the girl gave her. It was a gaze that seemed to pierce deep, conveying a sense of urgency.

“I had a peculiar feeling about this girl. I sensed that something was amiss. The stark contrast between the girl’s disheveled appearance and the well-dressed man was the initial giveaway,” Shelia pondered, noting the stark incongruity.

Curiosity led her to initiate a conversation with the man, but his response was defensive, setting off alarm bells in Shelia’s mind.

“At first, I had a gut feeling that something was awry. He appeared significantly older than the girl seated beside him and reacted quite aggressively to any movement nearby. I’m relieved I acted swiftly to potentially save a life.”

After some time, she discreetly placed a pen and paper in the airplane restroom, hoping the girl might utilize them if she needed assistance.
