This happened recently to someone who had the misfortune of riding the wrong bike trail: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52978880 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52978880
He had posted a Strava ride of the trail on the 28th, 29th, and 1st. The incident happened on the 30th. To internet detectives, this clearly meant he committed the crime on the 30th, and then deleted that ride from Strava.
It's scary to see how the mob was able to take exonerating evidence (him not riding on the 30th) and spin it to be a smoking gun: An innocent man would not have hidden the ride in question. Nobody even considered the possibility that he wasn't on the trail that day.
