A Street View car passing through the tiny Spanish village of Tajueco captured images of what sure looked like a man loading (or unloading) a wrapped body from the trunk of a car. The images helped authorities solve an outstanding missing person case: remains were discovered earlier this month, and two people have been arrested. News coverage: BBC<\/a>, El Pa\u00eds<\/a><\/em>, New York Times<\/a><\/em>, The Times<\/a><\/em>. Given that it had been 15 years since the last time a Street View car passed through Tajueco, which has maybe 50 inhabitants, doing a shoulder-check for camera-equipped cars was likely not in the forefront of the perpetrators\u2019 minds. (Current screenshot above: the man has since been blurred for obvious reasons.) [Gizmodo<\/a><\/em>, PetaPixel<\/a><\/em>, The Verge<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
