Man solves decades-old Bakersfield cold case by Googling 'weird smell in basement'

AITA for thinking the Bakersfield PD could've just sorted by 'undeleted search history' before they called in the FBI? TL;DR some guy in Bakersfield finally figured out why his house smelled like a swamp and a funeral home had a baby—turns out it was a mummified mailman from 1984 who was just "running late" on his route. Cops are calling it a "breakthrough," but honestly, if my Google autofill suggested "how to get rid of dead body smell Bakersfield" I'd probably just move.
