We should all be grateful that this perp was dumb enough to tend to his sick crime while the world’s most advanced street-mapping service, Google, happened to be driving by:

A red car and a man bent over and putting a large white bag in the boot. It’s the image from Google Maps Street View application that helped National Police officers solve a murder in Soria, in north-central Spain, which they had started investigating more than a year ago.

In the footage captured by the Google vehicle, “an old red car was parked like any other day and next to it, a man was putting a big bundle in the boot [trunk].”

At the time the photo was taken, police had been looking for a 40-year-old Cuban man who had come to the area searching for his wife and had vanished. Yet the image of “a man putting a bulky white plastic bag in the boot of a car” was enough of a tip for the cops:

Police officers discovered who the car belonged to and tapped the suspect’s phone. They found out that he lived with the Cuban wife of the missing man. After months of listening to the couple’s conversations, both were arrested and charged in connection with the crime.
