A Long, Long Flight

After a hectic day, you are looking forward to a long flight you have planned. It’s the first vacation you’ve taken in two years, so you’re extra excited. But when you get on the plane, you get seated next to a person who wants to tell you his/her life story (which you’re not in the mood for). But part way through the talk, you realize the story being told sounds familiar–in fact, you realize this person is revealing details from an unsolved mystery you heard on the news. What do you?
