> The man said he had identified a train station reflected in the singer's eyes in a selfie she posted online. The 26-year-old then waited at the station until he saw his victim and followed her to her home, police said.
> He also said he had studied videos the woman shot in her apartment, looking at details such as the placement of curtains and the direction of natural light coming through the window to try to determine exactly which floor she lived on, reports said.
There was also that thing with Shia Labeouf's "he will not divide us" campaign (?), where at one point 4chan folk tracked down the physical location based on a webcam view pointed skywards at a flagpole, geolocating it based on the transit times and flight paths of aircraft passing in view (determining the compass direction from the sun setting and rising, I think there was also something about figuring out the altitude from contrail formation?) and comparing it to one of those flightradar type sites.
