Title: Where in the World is Scott Dourque
Description: We've been tracking international criminal Scott Dourque for months. Hes wanted on hundreds of counts of fraud for telling single mothers that he is the father of their baby and he needs "Father Support" money.
We've built out a full portfolio on Scott, but we can't get a warrant for his arrest until we know exactly where he was, and what he was doing on April 12th, 2026. Maybe you can figure out where he was?

--[ Recon / Initial Analysis ]--
This page imports the BYUCTF 2026 source material for the OSINT challenge Scott
Dourque. The prompt is kept separate from the solve notes, and upstream
artifacts are linked so the challenge can be replayed from the original
repository.

--[ Vulnerability / Observation ]--
The useful observation comes from the imported solve notes below. I kept the
original technical path intact while normalizing the page metadata, challenge
grouping, and author attribution for the Volume 2 writeup archive.

This challenge is a simple "find the account" challenge. If you look up the name
"Scott Dourque" on Instagram, you find his account. From there, the logical flow
(at least to me) is to use the tail number of the airplane to figure out where
he was on April 12th. Paired with the images on Instagram, its clear that he
visited an Olive Garden near the airport he was at. By looking up historical
flight data for this plane, you can find that on the 12th of April he was in
Austin Texas, specifically landing at KAUS airport. The nearest Olive Garden is
close (10 miles), and this location has a Google review with the flag below
