Was her skirt too short?
No
Was she a wanted criminal before entering the exhibition?
Yes
So someone spotted her in the competition and recognized her? And that person either was part of Law Enforcement, or passed the information to them? Is that it?
Any more to it? Do we need to work out her crime, or precisely how she was recognised?
I am looking for something else. Because no one spotted her there, she did not register under her true name and she did not ever perform.
Did she register under a fictitious name?
Did she register as some other real-life person?
If she registered as some other real-life person, was she revealed to be an imposter, perhaps by someone who happened to know the other person?

Did she register as some other real-life person? Sort of…

I seem to remember a story like this (maybe the same one)
What? Suzie Dinkus is here. Man we go way back. Where is she?
Umm … she’s right here.
That’s not Suzie. That’s Nancy the fraudster.
And the fact he knew she was a criminal happened to be a coincidence because he was one of her victims. It wasn’t national news.
For Biotop: is that even close?
You are on the right track. Perhaps I have not played completely fair here, though I think the twist, in my defense, might be guessed…
Did Nancy register using the name of a character (I’m guessing an ice-skating character) from a novel/movie/tv series/whatever storytelling medium? She might have assumed no one else would recognize the name.But someone did and said something?
She assumed no one would recognize the name… but not an ice- skating character.
Was the name actually an easily recognized name for the time and place?
Is it correct to say that someone noticed that she was using a false name and that’s how she got reported to the police?

Yes.
Was this character a criminal?
If so, did Nancy commit the same crime as the character?

Did she register under the name of a real human?
a fictional human?
a real non-human?
a fictional non-human?
a fictional human
was the amateur Ice Skating exhibition part of or related to the Olympics?
Is the ‘exhibition’ part of the puzzle significant?
Was she a professional skating in an amateur competition which led to legal consequences?
Had Nancy participated in other, similar events using a false name before this incident?
Had she previously used her real name to do the same thing?
