Google Street View image helps Spanish police unlock murder case

A Google Street View image of a man loading a large white plastic bag into the boot of his car has helped unravel a murder case in a northern Spanish town, police say.
...
This was the first time in 15 years that the Google car had been to the town of Tajueco, in the northern province of Soria.
...
The male victim, said by El Pais newspaper to be a 33-year-old Cuban national, was reported missing in October 2023 after a relative received text messages from the victim's phone which he found suspicious.
...
On 12 November this year, police arrested a woman said to be the missing man's partner and a man said to be her ex-partner.

What amazes me is that this guy loaded it into the boot (trunk to you guys) with any car passing, in broad daylight let alone a Street View one with a prominent camera on it. And then got caught again with the bag in a wheelbarrow.
