Google Maps helps solve murder mystery by capturing moment a person put suspected corpse into car in Spain

 CBS News  

"Google technology has helped investigators make breakthroughs in cases before. In 2022, an Italian mafia boss who was on the run for decades was arrested after he was spotted on Google Maps."

"Google Maps has guided Spanish investigators to resolve a year-long murder mystery by capturing the moment a person stowed a suspected corpse into a car.

"Police in the northern region of Castile and Leon began their probe in November 2023 when someone reported the disappearance of a male relative.

"Officers arrested a woman who was the missing male's partner and another man who was her ex-partner in Soria province on November 12, police said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Investigators then raided the suspects' homes and inspected their vehicles but also stumbled on an unexpected lead in the search for further clues.

"These were "images in a location application" where they "detected a vehicle that may have been used during the course of the crime," the statement said.

"Spanish media circulated pictures of a screenshot of Google Maps' Street View from October 2024 showing a person dumping an object covered in a white shroud into a car trunk in the village of Tajueco. It was the first time in 15 years that the car had been to the town of Tajueco, the BBC reported." . . .

A Hard Heart Kills: Why Liberal Values Breed School Shootings

 John Nantz

. . ."Rupnow’s 9mm pistol is an irrelevancy. She could have perpetrated her heinous crime in a multitude of ways with a plethora of tools. Liberals want you to focus on the shiny object and forget the evil they have wrought in our midst." . . . 

Coach Aaron Feis Killed in previous school shooting

. . ."It is a very disturbing trend indeed when our young girls, typically characterized by feminine compassion, who should be anticipating the joys of family, motherhood, or career, instead are driven to find meaning in mass homicide. Surely, this is a sign of cultural apocalypse. 

"Reportedly, Natalie Rupnow had an online obsession with mass shootings and death. Can it really be surprising that our culture of death (the death of God, death of the unborn, the death of personhood) produces mass-murdering kids? 

"We treat the unborn like bio-waste and devalue life to the point of absurd irrelevance, discarding it at will. The message to anyone paying attention is that life is disposable and subject to whim or convenience. Making a statement with the lives of innocent people is a simple metaphysical extension of the secular culture of grievance and lack of eternal accountability." . . . 

. . ."Rupnow’s 9mm pistol is an irrelevancy. She could have perpetrated her heinous crime in a multitude of ways with a plethora of tools. Liberals want you to focus on the shiny object and forget the evil they have wrought in our midst. There is a war for the minds and souls of our children afoot, and we’re losing it to the purveyors of cultural rot in politics, Hollywood, and education. We’ve no one to blame but ourselves. It’s time, as a nation, that we take responsibility for the destruction of our youth and return to the God of our forefathers.". . .

 As R. Lee Ermey’s character in Full Metal Jacket, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, famously said,”Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills.”

Stephanopoulos and the Implosion of ABC News

George Stephanopoulos is a former Bill Clinton hatchet man and major player in Democrat politics. He should never have been put in charge of political news at ABC in the first place.

 Megyn Kelly and Adam Carolla Discuss Stephanopoulos and the Implosion of ABC News: ‘Blew up Their Own Reputation   "Now that ABC News has settled with Donald Trump for $16 million, the situation at the network is dire. Staffers are angry and there are rumors that George Stephanopoulos may be on his way out the door.

"Megyn Kelly recently discussed this with comedian Adam Carolla and they both agreed that ABC News did this to themselves.

"Carolla points out that ABC News was wrong about the Russia collusion hoax and got a lot of things wrong about COVID, two of the biggest stories in recent years.

"Partial transcript via Eric Abbenante on Twitter/X:

Megyn Kelly: “Stephanopoulos Who is humiliated and very angry, according to the reports that this has happened to him." . . .

Adam Carolla: “They blew up their own reputation over the last five years systematically. First with Russian collusion and three or four years of lying or at least being wrong about that.

ABC News executives are in 'full revolt' after settling for 15 million in the George Stephanopoulos case, not anticipating the extent to which they would damage their reputation:

Why Did ABC Roll Over and Beg Trump for Mercy?   

. . ."There’s big money at stake now. The left decided it was going to use legal civil lawfare, as well as criminal lawfare, to take out in court the opponents it couldn’t take out in the public square. This initiative worked for a little while. Now, they’ve got a problem. We’re doing it to them. And it’s only going to get worse for them." . . .

How vengeful Jill Biden is urging 'depressed' Joe to 'burn the whole thing down' in their final days... with Obama, Kamala and Pelosi at the top of her 'naughty list'

 UK Daily Mail   "Tis the season for revenge! For President Joe Biden is spending the remaining weeks of his presidency settling scores.

"Between organizing this year's White House Christmas decorations, staff holiday parties and a string of final goodbyes, the president and First Lady Jill Biden have been quietly sharpening the metaphorical carving knives, with their sights set firmly on the one-time allies they perceive as having wronged them.

"Biden infuriated many senior members of the Democratic Party with his shocking U-turn and pardon of his son Hunter a fortnight ago, after months of publicly vowing he wouldn't make such a move.

"The pardon came alongside the quiet commuting of around 1,500 sentences, including for the relative of a member of the Chinese Communist Party who had been caught with child porn on his computer.

"Now, sources say, the first lady has been egging her husband on to further inflame fury among his colleagues.

" 'Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the [wider] party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington DC with such misguided resentment that I can't imagine she [isn't] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down, despite his better judgment,' an insider said.". . . 

As with The Battle of Cherbourg in 1944.  "The Germans knew the allies needed the port so they intended to leave the place a complete, unuseable wreck."

Fani Willis; MSNBC, "Racism!"; CNN, "Racism!; Rev Al; "Racism!"

"Additionally, the anti-Trump DA's "church speech," in which she injected race into the case during extrajudicial statements before a black Atlanta congregation, factored heavily into the "forensic misconduct" aspect of the defense's appeal." . . . Race is the left's version of stomping their feet and screaming to get their way. One has to assume this is a desire to begin a race war in our nation. TD

BREAKING: Georgia Appeals Court Removes Fani Willis From Trump Case   ..."Phil Holloway, an Atlanta attorney who also writes for our sister site Townhall and is a legal expert for Atlanta news media, wrote on X that the case is now "an 'orphan' — an indictment without a prosecutor." He also posted that Willis' famous speech at a church in Atlanta factored into the ruling.

" 'Forensic misconduct involves extrajudicial statements by prosecutors against defendants," Holloway pointed out.

" 'After DA Willis spoke publicly in a church service on Sunday, January 14, 2024, the other appellants also filed motions seeking dismissal and disqualification on the same grounds, as well as the additional ground of forensic misconduct in connection with the church speech and various other extrajudicial statements," Markle and Brown wrote.

"Willis will most likely appeal the ruling to the Georgia Supreme Court, but this likely kills the Fulton County indictment against Trump." . . .

In a major blow to the prosecution against Donald Trump in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has been officially disqualified from the case. An appeals court ruled on Thursday morning that her conflicts of interest were simply too great for her to remain involved

Removing only Wade "did not cure the already existing appearance of impropriety" and the "odor of mendacity" that lingered in the affair's aftermath, the legal body wrote.    Forensic misconduct involves extrajudicial statements by prosecutors against defendants

Postal Service, Biden Can’t Deliver On EVs

I & I Editorial Board     

"Practicality and principled stewardship of taxpayers’ dollars were apparently never a consideration. It was all about Biden’s legacy."

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s bizarre and frankly childish behavior during testimony before Congress wasn’t the U.S. Postal Service’s worst moment last week. That came two days later.

DeJoy, appearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, was told by Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia that he is “responsible for the fall of the Postal Service and the lack of accountability.” DeJoy retorted that “this Congress is responsible for it falling apart” and insisted he was “trying to fix” the post office.

He then told McCormick that “you’re talking to yourself” and covered his ears with his hands like the “hear no evil” monkey. (See it for yourself here.)  

"Appalling as that was, DeJoy’s antics were overshadowed when the Washington Post reported that even after the Biden administration committed $3 billion to buy electric delivery trucks for the post office, the contractor it hired, Oshkosh, has delivered only 93 of what was supposed to be 3,000 EV trucks by now.

“ 'Postal Service’s electric mail trucks are way behind schedule,” the Post says. “The delays put Biden’s climate goals at risk.” (Concern for the phantom danger of “climate change” outweighs the gross incompetence of the federal government in the eyes of the Post.)

"The “historic” White House initiative that was ultimately to deliver 60,000 Next Generation Delivery Vehicles to the post office has been “plagued by manufacturing mishaps and supplier infighting,” says the Post. Rather than building 80 a day, as was the expectation, the company is cobbling together just one." . . .
