The body of a woman who disappeared from her home in Belgium was eventually found thanks to Google Maps. Paulette Landrieux, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, vanished from her home while her husband was doing housework in November 2020.

Marcel Taret was the sole carer for the 83-year-old when he left her eating lunch by the television to peg some laundry on his washing line. It turned out that would be the last time he saw her alive. On returning indoors, Paulette was nowhere to be seen, sending Marcel into a panic.

After searching from room to room, he checked outside, knocking on neighbors’ doors in case they had seen her. Anxiously he called the police and less than an hour later was relieved to see a search and rescue helicopter hovering over his home in Andenne.

Over the next hours and days Paulette did not appear. Weeks turned into months until it had been two years since she was last seen. But an incredible coincidence helped solve the mystery of Paulette’s sudden disappearance.

The day that she vanished coincided with the day that Google’s street view camera car visited the town. One of Marcel’s neighbors made the connection and examined photos of the street where the couple lived.

In the pictures, Paulette can be seen walking across the street away from her home. Investigators traced the route that Paulette appeared to be taking and finally discovered her fate. Across the street was a steep hill that led down to a thick bramble bush. Inside the bramble bush, they found Paulette’s body.

While the search was going on, Paulette was likely trapped down there, unaware of what was going on or how to communicate. Paulette unfortunately died where she lay, waiting to be found over two years after her disappearance.
