The Google Car, used to map roads around the world, had not passed through the small Spanish town of Tajueco, in the province of Soria, for 15 years. As chance would have it, just at the moment in which Google’s machine was crossing one of the streets of the village, the camera captured a man, from behind, while he was loading, in broad daylight, into the trunk of a car what was later discovered to be a corpse. The image captured by Google Maps provided the police with a decisive clue to solving the case of the murder of JLPO, a 33-year-old of Cuban origins who disappeared in 2023 and whose dismembered body was found in recent days in the town’s cemetery, the Iberian media report. For the murder of the 33-year-old, a woman, the victim’s ex-partner, and her subsequent partner, who would be the man surprised by the Google camera, were arrested.
