Whoa, Did Google Maps Just Reveal a Bloody Gruesome Murder?
The first thing that came to the fried movie watching mind was "Are these guys dumping a body in the river,Did the person mob boss's daughter or the boss himself,or probably the person owed some gambling debt".
The mystery was thoroughly debunked by the the site none other than the site that spurred it in the beginning.This was what the community did :
Start by going to somewhere on Google Maps, say, http://goo.gl/maps/t4sph
Zoom in as far as it will let you by clicking on the “+” sign at the top of the magnification slider at the top left of the map.
When you’re in as far as you can go (heh/sorry) but not all the way to street view (if the location you’re looking at even has street view), look over at the white space just to the top left of the map….where the little printer and chain link buttons are.
Click on the chain “link” button. That will show you a box with a long URL to the map you are looking at and another box with some HTML code to embed. Ignore the HTML code.
Copy the long URL and paste it into your browser’s address bar, but don’t hit enter to go to that URL yet. Instead, click to edit it and scroll all the way to the right. It should end with something like “&z=22″. Change the 22 to 23 (“&z=23″) and hit enter. If Google Maps has imagery at that higher zoom level, it will show it to you.
Well I gave it a shot and yes it works.
After intense scrutiny, the community determined that this wasn’t a crime scene at all, but a perfectly innocent outing. What looked like a body and a bloody trail is actually just a wet pooch that streaked some water behind him. To help explain what’s going on, the community offers a couple of diagrams that map out the action:
Then there are further cement things like there were other people of cycling if a murder had been taking place this probably would not have been the scenario for obvious reasons.Hence the murder mystery is solved or rather disapproved.
