[Music] at around 1: p.m. on November 2nd 2020 an 83-year-old mother of four named pette landri X mysteriously disappeared from her home in anden Belgium at the time her husband was hanging the laundry up to dry in the garden and didn't notice she was gone until later that afternoon when Pet's family realized she was missing they reported The Disappearance to the police triggering a pretty big search for the missing woman though this wasn't the first time pette disappeared as she reportedly suffered from Alzheimer's disease and would frequently leave the house at random times of the
day and night without telling her husband where she was going she was known to randomly knock on the neighbor doors for no apparent reason and in the Years leading up to her disappearance she no longer recognized her children or her husband every other time she had disappeared her husband would find her a few feet away from the house and bring her back inside but this time she was nowhere to be found during the search 50 police officers and several search and rescue dogs were deployed to the area along with multiple thermal vision helicopters and an
entire fleet of drones but even with all these resources at their disposal the local police department failed to find any relevant Clues leading to pette after several weeks the search was called off and the family assumed that she had fallen into the Muse river which ran near her home in October of 2022 just as the police department was about to close the file one investigator was searching for Pet's house on Google Street View and found something shocking there as luck would have it he found a street view image of pet leaving her home and crossing
the street to her neighbor's house the case was immediately reopened and police were once again deployed to the area where they found the body of pet lying at the bottom of a hill directly below the neighbor's Garden after the autopsy was performed it was determined that the woman had fallen from an unenclosed section of the garden and died shortly after her final moments eerily being caught by the passing Google Street View car as she walks to her death likely in another wave of confus fused State caused by her Alzheimer's disease one thing that's hard to
understand is how the police failed to see her with their drones and helicopters the first time but at least now the family can find closure knowing what happened to pette even if it comes with this Eerie last image of her ever being seen alive if you visit the location on Google Maps today you'll find the image has been overwritten by a more up-to-date view of the town in July 2011 two armed individuals broke into an empty house in an otherwise peaceful suburb of Oklahoma City with a house full of valuables for them to steal and
nobody there to stop them the two got to work but unfortunately for them the Looting spree was much more shortlived than they had hoped a few minutes later the homeowner returned and walked in on the two of them looting her house but instead of fleeing with the valuables they had already stolen they held her at gunpoint as they continued to rans sack her home this went on for over an hour and during the traumatizing incident the woman recalled thinking they were going to shoot her before leaving fortunately the robbers eventually left the house without physically
harming the woman after the armed robbery she refused to reveal her identity to the press out of fear that the thieves would retaliate the woman later reported the incident to the cops but with no Witnesses and an absence of solid leads the case eventually went cold and the woman lost hope that the two criminals would ever be found however 3 years later the case took an unexpected turn on a day in July 2014 the woman's neighbor was looking at her street using Google Maps Street view when she noticed an image of two men casually strolling
down the street who perfectly match the description the victim had given her of the criminals immediately she texted the woman who confirmed that the two men captured by the street view van that happened to be mapping out the neighborhood on the day of the robbery were indeed the same two men who had robbed her based on the direction they were walking it seems that the image was captured in the minutes leading up to the crime unfortunately because the two men's faces are obscured by the grainy quality of the image and Google's software that automatically blurs
pedestrians the cops haven't been able to track the men down but with a string of Clues and a picture to add to their search police now have a much better chance of catching the two thanks to Google Maps One Night in October 2006 a 72-year-old man named David Lee Niles met up with a friend at Jake's bar in Byron toown Michigan this was a place that David visited frequently and usually stayed there for at least a couple of hours but on that particular evening the story was very different earlier that year David had been diagnosed
with cancer and after a brief conversation with his friend he left abruptly claiming that he was in a lot of physical pain due to the cancer that was the last time anyone ever saw him when his family failed to get in touch with him they reported him missing to the police leading to a Statewide search that ultimately LED nowhere as the cops couldn't find any clues as to where David could have gone in 2011 5 years after his disappearance his family lost hope and accepted the idea that David was gone the obituary they published online
read read David Lee Niles age 72 of Wyoming passed away and only God knows the time and place the case went completely cold until almost a decade later when a new twist shed light on David's disappearance one morning in November 2015 Brian Houseman an employee of the Cook Funeral Home in Byron County was decorating the company Christmas tree outside when he got to the top of the tree on his lift to put up the star he noticed something in the adjacent Pond that looked like a submerged car immediately he called the police police and using
Google Maps from a bird's eye view they were able to see the same outline that was described a dive team was deployed to the area who confirmed that there was in fact a car at the bottom of the pond later that morning a racking crew pulled out the vehicle for the police to inspect inside the vehicle the cops found the skeletal remains of a man along with a wallet belonging to David Lee Niles after it was confirmed that the skeletal remains were his David's family members finally found some closure still the case remains a mystery
as it's unknown what exactly happened to him even before his cancer diagnosis David was known to have severe depressive episodes and things understandably got a lot worse for him after he found out about the illness with all this in mind it's possible that he took his own life but we'll likely never know for sure in the ' 80s and 90s joako Gamino was one of Italy's most Wanted gangsters he operated within a sicilian Mafia clan in agento that was embroiled in a feud with Co ostra Sicily's main Mafia Network he was first arrested in 1984
for murder and various other Mafia related crimes but was later released shortly after in 1998 he was arrested again in Barcelona only this time he was sentenced to life in prison after serving four years of his prison sentence at a prison in Rome he managed to escape in 2002 during a commotion at the prison following his Escape he immediately relocated to a town near Madrid Spain and changed his name to Manuel mormino over the 20 years that he was on the run from the police he got married worked as a chef at a restaurant called
manu's kitchen and even opened up a fruit and vegetable shop called manu's Garden Sicilian police searched everywhere for him for years and they eventually issued a European arrest warrant back in 2014 after carrying out several investigations the police suspected that Gino was hiding somewhere in Spain but the way they pinpointed his exact location was pretty out of the ordinary during the investigation Sicilian police found that Google Maps had captured a street view image of two men talking outside of manu's garden one of the men looked extremely similar to the man they were looking for but
the cops only confirmed his identity when they came across the listing for manu's kitchen the restaurant where Gino worked while investigating online the police found a photo of him dressed in Chef's attire on the Facebook page for manu's kitchen after confirming his location the police arrested joako Gamino on December 17th 2022 and extradited him to Sicily where he is currently serving life in prison according to the police when they arrested him Gino was extremely confused and even had the nerve to ask how they found him when he hadn't even called his family in 10 years
in 2009 police from Zurich Switzerland were carrying out an investigation to shut down illegal marijuana growing operations all over the country at some point in the investigation they used Google Earth to locate the addresses of two farmers who they suspected of being part of an illegal marijuana operation and that's when one of the detectives found something interesting as he was scanning the area on Google Earth he noticed an unusual change in the pattern of the fields around rapperswill in the northeastern state of thurgau zooming in he saw what appeared to be a cannabis Plantation that
measured more than 2 acres and was hidden inside a cornfield right next to one of the farmers houses the Google Earth Discovery ultimately led to the arrest of 16 people and the seizure of 1.1 metric tons of marijuana as well as 900,000 Swiss Franks in cash which is the equivalent of around $1.1 million according to the police report the drug ring allegedly sold up to 7 tons of marijuana between 2004 and 2008 bringing in from 3 to 10 million Franks A year when asked about the breakr the head of Zurich police's special narcotics unit Norbert
glossner said it was an interesting chance Discovery since then the Cannabis Plantation has been plowed over as recreational marijuana continues to be illegal in Switzerland this incident happened at a home in Derbyshire England where David and Rebecca SS lived with their two children Lauren and Reuben in 2009 the family bought a caravan to travel across the country but it was unfortunately destroyed shortly after when a joy Rider crashed into it a few months later they bought a new $155,000 Caravan to replace the old one which they left in their driveway in June of that year
Rebecca came home one day to find the Caravan had disappeared after which she immediately reported the in incident to the police however with no solid leads the cops couldn't really do anything about it and the case went cold pretty quickly it wasn't until 9 months later in March of 2010 that 11-year-old Ruben Sons found something revealing as he was looking at his house on Google Maps using the street view he found an image of a male Intruder on the Family's driveway standing suspiciously outside of his 4x4 vehicle after a bit of investigating the family found
that the image had been captured by the Google Street View car just moments before the Caravan was stolen around that time a neighbor also came forward saying that he had seen the same man Towing the Caravan on the day of the robbery but thought that it was a family friend and didn't think it was important to tell the family about it with such a clear image of the suspect the sons thought it would be easy for the cops to solve the crime but it turned out to be much more difficult than expected to get an
unblurred image of the 4x4's license plates from Google even though the police knew exactly what the thief looked like it was never publicly confirmed if they managed to track him down or not
