One year after the disappearance and death of a Cuban man, two people have been arrested in Tahueco, Spain. The breakthrough in this case was a Google Street View photo. It turned out that the camera recording the route had recorded important clues for police.
Police say the photo is an important clue in the investigation into the disappearance of a Cuban man from Tahueco, Soria department, in November 2023. Investigators said the man was murdered, his body cut into quarters and scheduled to be transported in a red car photographed by Google.

El Pais reported on Wednesday that the photo posted on the internet map was taken with a Google car, which had not recorded the city's streets in 15 years.

Police began investigating after the victim's relatives reported him missing after receiving suspicious news that he had met up with a woman and had disposed of his mobile phone with the intention of leaving Spain.
In November, police arrested a woman and her former husband for having an affair with a Cuban man.
Google Street View photos serve as important evidence in investigations
As part of the investigation, police found a “decomposed torso” buried in a nearby cemetery in December, which police said could be that of the missing person. The remaining body parts are still being searched.
“El Pais” refused to answer questions about how often Google takes photos for its Google Street View application and whether it plans to remove photos that serve as evidence in murder cases. .
Google's website states that “the photos presented may be from months to years ago,” and to remove these photos, you must provide a valid reason. You need to send a request.
