A photo snapped by a Google Street View car in October has led Spanish police to two people suspected of being involved in a missing person case, TheGuardian reported. In November 2023, relatives of a Cuban national living in Spain reported the man had gone missing while searching for a woman believed to have been his partner. In October, a car taking photos for Google Street View in the remote northern town of Tajueco captured an image of a man loading a bulky white sack into the trunk of a red car. The photos—which are still visible on Google Maps—helped lead police to the missing man and her suspected new partner, both of whom were arrested last month. A few weeks later, a torso believed to be that of the missing man was found in a nearby village. Neighbors told the Spanish newspaper El Paìs that they had seen the photos on Google Maps but never imagined that the man was doing anything untoward. It’s not clear from the images if the suspect knew he was being captured on camera. Photos taken from different angles show the camera car passed the suspect’s car, shooting from both the front and the back while the trunk was still open.
