Workers who were removing the shelves and coolers in the No frills supermarket in Council Bluffs, Iowa came across the gruesome sight of a trapped human corpse behind one of its coolers. The year was 2019 and supermarket closed its doors for customers back in 2016. The body was unidentifiable and using a DNA test it was found out to be a missing employee of the supermarket. 10 years ago in November 2009 Larry Ely Muriilo Moncada was reported missing from his home. His parents said he got upset and ran outside without his shoes, socks, keys or his car in the midst of a snowstorm. Police believes that he went to the supermarket and climbed on top of the 3.7 meter high cooler and fell into a 46 cm gap between the cooler and the wall. According to the other employees, they often climb there to get unofficial breaks and unfortunately Larry had fallen and stuck there until he died. Due to the noise of the coolers his cries for help went unnoticed according to police and they have closed the case since there were no trauma to Larry and concluded the death is accidental.
The funeral director has commented in social media that the body was mummified due to the constant heat coming out of the coolers and some customers have mentioned about the bad smell coming from the supermarket. Some of the supermarket employees have said that they thought the smell was coming from a dead raccoon somewhere in the supermarket. What fascinated me is how he went into the coolers unnoticed. CCTV footage must have had him entering there and why didn't anyone thought of checking CCTV footage once he went missing? Why wasn't anyone considered about locating the source of the bad smell? Did they find a body behind the cooler and decided not to complain about it because of the unwanted attention it will cause to the supermarket and its employees?
