Missing in Palma: Instagram Update Raises Questions — Community Calls for Rally at the Train Station

Answer

Can an Instagram post be trusted in a missing person case?

Not automatically. A post can be genuine, but it can also be old, shared by someone else, scheduled, or published after an account has been compromised. In Mallorca missing-person cases, investigators usually need to check technical details such as metadata, timestamps, and device logs before treating a post as reliable.
