Google Street View helped police solve a missing persons case
Two people were arrested in connection with the crime.
A Google Street View image played in role in solving a missing person investigation in Spain, according to reports from the BBC and The New York Times. Part of the human remains of the missing person have been found buried in a cemetery in a town in the province of Soria and advanced technical means had to be used to locate them. Though the press release doesn’t explicitly name the location application it used, a spokesperson for the Spanish National Police confirmed to The New York Times that it was Google Maps while also saying, “The image was not the key to solving the case.”
