- From the video, it is clear that the person is at a place called "Sugar Mill." By taking a screenshot from the video and using Google Reverse Image Search and find information.
From above, it shows that Marston Sugar Mill is a pub located at Bourne, Lincolnshire, UK
- The audio from the video can also be extracted to understand what the person is saying. Since the language is unfamiliar, I will use Moises, an AI tool that separates vocals from background noise, to isolate the speech clearly for easier transcription or translation.
The extracted audio was uploaded to Kapwing, which automatically detected the spoken language and translated it into English.
Translated Text (English):
The pie is very, very good. I guess I should leave a review online, huh? People need to know how good this is
- From the translation, there is a high probability that a review was left about the place. To verify this, we searched review sites like TripAdvisor, where users often share their experiences. Based on the translated audio mentioning the "pie," we searched for related reviews and found only one name that stood out.
Reviewer name:
EvgenilKuznetsova
This name is highly suspicious because Kuznetsova is a common Russian surname.
Given the linguistic context of the audio and this name, it suggests a connection to the Russian-speaking community, helping narrow down the investigation.
- When looking at the TripAdvisor page of this account, one thing caught my eye — a link to the user’s social account on mastodon.social.
This is his account
- After looking through his social, one thing caught my eye: he posted a picture of his house.
- Using the information above, put the picture in Google reverse image search. It shows a lot of pictures that are similar to the house.
It shows that the house might be located in kestel drive.
- Below is the picture along with some observations I took note of. Every detail is useful, especially since the houses around the area appear to be painted the same color. This makes it harder to distinguish one from another, so small visual cues become important for identification.
Furthermore, according to information from this website themovemarket.com, there are around 28 houses on Kestel Drive.
List of Notable Features
- The lamp fixture (possibly a unique design or placement)
- House number in green background with gold numbers
- Door frame has a window with four rectangular panes
- Door color is white
- The house uses blinds instead of curtains
- Using the information gathered, I attempted to locate the house and verify if it matches the list of criteria mentioned earlier. Below is a short video I made demonstrating how I found the house.
It shows that all the criteria is being met.
- The flag is the name and address.
