Google Street View helps find kidnapped Mass. child

Posted on 12:30 by Unknown
[Cross-posted with the Public Policy Blog]

An interesting first (at least as far as we're aware): Google's Street View imagery was used by police officers to help successfully locate a kidnapped child in rural Virginia.  Nine year old Natalie Maltais, from Athol, Massachusetts, was found safely at a motel on Tuesday.  You can read more in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
