A woman, all women, absolutely ought to have the right to choose when and if they become pregnant. Even women who are charged with crimes. But if you’re her child 12 or so years from now, what is it going to look like that you were conceived under such circumstances?
We don’t like hearing about the children whose parents probably loved them but loved heroin more.
Pro tip: Always buy a round-trip ticket when you plan to flee fraud. It looks better in court and in newspapers, and nobody will force you to take the trip back.
don't fly. everything is recorded
pro-tip 3: book flight before federal investigation

You do have to worry if you have to miss the first leg of a trip for some reason. They'll void the second leg as well if you don't call to straighten everything out.
Well if you miss the first leg, it'll be pretty difficult to use subsequent legs anyway.
I booked a one way ticket on another to make it work, then was surprised when I tried to return home that I no longer had a valid ticket for the first.
Of course, they'll helpfully offer to let you buy a one-way ticket at the counter, 90 minutes before departure, at maximal pricing.

He would have gladly skipped the first 2 legs of the trip.
As the article notes, US and Mex have bilateral extradition so it’s doubtful she intended to stay there to escape prison. She was likely going on to another country after that.
Although if I had high resources and was fleeing justice, I probably wouldn’t buy a ticket ahead of time. If anything I would book some domestic travel to be on flight manifests.

You might be banned from flying that airline again if you don't get on the flight back without letting them know with a valid reason. Of course that's probably the least of your worries if you're fleeing your own country because of fraud.
Back in reality, people miss flights all the time. Not only are you not banned from flying the airline, you often get a credit that you can apply for your next flight.
Full disclosure: I have a bit of a history of flying on what some call "mistake fares". Back in 2013 I flew "from Europe to Hong Kong and back", except it was routed via Australia(!) both on the inbound and the outbound. Was convinced I was going to be denied boarding at every single stop on the itinerary ...
I was also younger and fitter then :)

This is idiotic. No airline has ever permanently banned a passenger for missing a flight. The most that can happen is if you miss the first leg they will automatically cancel the second one.

At this point does it matter that we are left with the assumption that the 'I'm not worried I'm too pretty go to jail' (paraphrasing) dude also tried to flee conviction

> Pro tip: Always buy a round-trip ticket when you plan to flee fraud. It looks better in court Another pro tip: round-trip tickets are often cheaper than one-way tickets, even if you don't plan to return! The "return" can be a long, long way in the future, too.
I challenge you to find a roundtrip ticket from anywhere to anywhere that is cheaper than the one way.
