@Europol Geolocation is only the beginning for an investigation like this, but as you read, you will realize just how much effort and time it can take.
The environment, the buildings, the power lines, etc. — everything is taken into consideration, as @Mabl2K breaks down in the article.
@Europol @Mabl2K Then one must find out *when* the image was taken, i.e. chronolocation comes into play.
The leaves on the trees, the changing nearby buildings, the way the light falls, etc. — all factors are carefully considered before making a final verdict.
@Europol @Mabl2K But we don't stop there.
Based on what @Mabl2K uncovered, he offered some advice to the authorities on how to proceed.
After all, we want as many of these people as possible to answer for their crimes.
@Europol @Mabl2K In short, please read @Mabl2K's very painstaking, detailed report.
You will find out more about geolocation, chronolocation AND possible ways for authorities to respond to predators with secrets they thought were long buried.
