The app, which costs as little as $15 a year, not only tracked Josh's computer's location within a few meters, but it also used the computer's built-in camera to take photos - photos which painted a clear and sometimes partially naked picture of the alleged perp, 27-year-old Oakland cab driver Muthanna Alde-Bashi.
