A mysterious image from Google Maps has shed light on a recent disappearance in Belgium, where a woman suffering from Alzheimer's went missing without a trace. The memory of Google Maps can sometimes help explain tragic cases, such as this one involving an octogenarian whose disappearance was reported in 2020.
Captured by Google Street View, the last photograph of Paulette shows her crossing the road in front of her home. This image remained in Google's servers for two years until a vigilant neighbor discovered it, allowing investigators to trace her final moments and ultimately find her body near a steep hill.
Google Maps, often used for navigating daily life, has now become an unwitting witness to a family tragedy. Paulette's story is just one of many instances where the digital eyes of Google capture significant moments, helping families find answers to their most painful questions.
