A man was seen loading white bags into the back of a red Rover car in a deserted street in northern Spain.
The Google Maps camera captured a suspicious moment in the village of Tahueko in October, which later led to the arrest of two men who disappeared the previous year.
In November 2023, a Cuban national living in Spain was reported missing, sparking an investigation by the police, as reported by El Pais newspaper.
Suspicion arose after the missing man’s relatives received texts from his phone indicating a change in plans, leading to the involvement of the police.
The investigation focused on the man’s former partner and another individual, resulting in the arrest of a couple in connection with his death and disappearance.
Police praised the role of Google Maps in providing crucial evidence for solving the crime, emphasizing the images that were captured during the investigation.
Residents of Tahueco mentioned seeing the images on Google Maps but did not attach much significance to them initially.
One resident mentioned not suspecting the man in the images, while another was unaware of any sinister implications in the photo of the car trunk.
