Also, regardless of the movies we've all watched people are never as smart as a plain movie villain (duh). Whenever I think about "man how did they find the guy half a province away" after a crime it's really just stupid things. Electronic payment trails, social media (!!!!!!), cameras. The social media thing really gets me. For someone trying to lay low, it's amazing how dumb these criminals can be on FB and twitter.

in another case (also in the US) when someone drowned last year, fitbit details were provided in an attempt to find the GPS coordinates.

A parent could use Location Services to track their kids with some apps. Accessing someone's phone is usually a no-go without a warrant if you're needing to look into the actual phone. Location services sends data out of the phone so you don't need the phone to see the data.

the police can ping your cellphone signal if it's on, much like when you call 911 we get an approximate location through triangulation of cell towers, along with an uncertainty level in meters showing how far you could be from that location. sometimes the uncertainty can be 10 meters which is great but sometimes it can be like 10,000
not saying that's how they found her, just saying that it is possible

They used K9, I have no doubt about it. That's the most likely scenario how they found her so quickly. A fresh body in Central Park is not difficult to locate if they know the general location with a K9 unit.

and how did police find her only 2 hours after she was reported missing, in a densely wooded park at night?
hope they catch whoever did this soon, feel like this has really hit close to home for a lot of people.. RIP to the poor girl  |
that elisa lam story was scary as fuck. still is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=RH-0Q-Mie5w
so saddened by this story Rip poor little girl.

Whether or not it's bordered by busy streets and high-density residential areas is irrelevant.
if you try using a GLONASS + GPS running watch or a drone, more likely than not you'll struggle to get a signal.
I'm not talking about the trails, once you go off the path and under the canopy. Quote:

A 13 yr old tragically died suddenly, cops are treating it as a homicide and a few of you are debating on the effectiveness of GPS in trails vs. the city??!! C'mon give your head a shake guys.

A man in Iran was hung a few weeks ago after he raped and killed a 9 year old girl. In the video (which i wont post) you hear hundreds of people cheering his death and witness what happens to pedophiles. | |

Go for a hike in a steep valley and then talk about not being able to get a GPS signal. Something like a running watch or drone is going to need a more precise fix, getting a rough spot to start a sniffer dog isn't likely to be a problem.

When something tragic happens, its human nature to wonder why, and how.
It is startling how fast this story did unravel from start to finish.

Also Thats NSFW.
