    I remember Ghislaine Maxwell going missing after a warrant was put out for her, and then a photo of her at an In-n-Out was posted on Twitter, where she's holding a book called "The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives". The same day, the entire nationwide system that monitors flight risks for air travel was down - the system that would have flagged Ghislaine as having a warrant out for her arrest, the same system that her twin sisters own and contract to the US government...

    I spent so long assuming she either fled the country or would turn up in an oil drum somewhere. But it turns out she was just laying low at some friend's fishing retreat in Maine.

      If I recall correctly the book cover was a photoshop, but everything else is correct she was at the cafe etc.

        the movie poster was also shopped (to Good Boys I think?), and the outdoor advertising company said they had never had a poster for that film at that location. so maybe they did it to obscure the real date that the photo was taken rather than trying to find out what poster should have been there. and/or to send a message with the film title
