So, has Google actually refused to remove the image? Or just not moved fast enough?

  "Barrera said he plans to formally complain to Google and to lobby state lawmakers for their help in removing the image." Don't believe he's actually asked Google yet to take it down.

    Yet he's talked to CNN. I'm willing to bet the causality here went the other way. The reporter got a tip about a murder scene (or whatever it was) on google maps, did a little digging to figure out who it was, called the folks involved, and ran with the first lede that would draw links.

      Perhaps, but the article does say he discovered it. "Jose Barrera, of Richmond, California, said he discovered the image, visible on Google Maps' satellite view feature, last week." [Edit] Video says learned of.

    "Google says it will replace a Google Maps image after a California father complained it shows the body of his teen-age son, who was shot to death in 2009." Maybe he didn't know how to reach someone in Google? I don't know, why does that matter?
