Police Discover Murderer Thanks to Image of... Google Maps



Last week, the small town of Soria, in Andalusia, woke up to the macabre news of a man who had been found dead and dismembered in the local cemetery.


The body was found after more than a year of searching. These were triggered in November 2023, after the victim's brother, who lived in another Spanish location, alerted authorities that his brother had recently traveled to Spain and had never contacted the family again.


After a year, and after operations in different locations in Soria, inspections in homes and excavations on land adjacent to the place where one of the suspects lived, the police would solve the case with the help of .... Google Maps.


Google Maps captures the moment a killer hides a victim's body in his car in Tajueco, Soria.


The killer has already been arrested.

Now, according to ABC, the victim's wife, also Cuban, had moved to this Spanish location before her husband, where she met the owner of a local bar, who became her lover. These two became the authorities' prime suspects and the police's suspicions were confirmed when they came across a photo from Google Maps.


The image is fundamental evidence. The moment in which the suspect puts the body in the trunk of the car was recorded by Google Maps. Against evidence, there are no arguments and both have already been arrested.


The judge ordered the case to remain confidential and the government deputy delegate, Miguel Latorre, and the chief commissioner of the Soria provincial police station, Francisco Moñux, provided this information about the case at a press conference on Wednesday.
