Using Google Maps to Track Down Suspects in a Criminal Investigation

Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Cyber services record almost people’s locations worldwide. Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) can use them to find suspects or witnesses near crime scenes. However, it runs the risk of arresting the innocent in a criminal investigation. This paper takes an intimidation case in Taiwan for example. The crime scene investigation from the viewpoint of Google Maps is explored for supporting or refuting a crime. The proposed PETLO (People-Events-Time-Locations-Objects) model is an investigative approach, which can be applied in clarifying some critical issues and explaining how a crime has happened.
