A supermarket employee disappeared under mysterious circumstances after 10 years and the truth has only just been revealed. He did not go far and found a depressed body behind a 12-meter-high refrigerator.
Ladbible uncovered the story of a mysterious case. When a supermarket employee mysteriously disappeared for 10 years before it was discovered that this employee had not actually gone far. But the place where his body was found instead caused even more mystery.
The incident occurred at a supermarket in Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA, after the supermarket had been closed for 3 years.
Until 2019, a team of employees went to clean up the area. Dismantle the shelves and remove the freezer. But it turns out they were in for a serious shock. When a dried human body was found stuck behind the refrigerator in the store
Officials later conducted a DND test and found that the body was that of a man named Larry Eli Murillo Moncada, 25, a former employee of the supermarket.
There is a report from the family that he had been missing since 2009, 10 years ago, meaning that his body was stuck in the store that had been open for seven years, while it had been closed for another three years.
The police believe it was an accidental death. It had nothing to do with murder and it is assumed that he likely fell into the narrow space between the refrigerator and the wall. In a head down fashion causing the body to remain stuck there so he could not move and ultimately causing death.
The case has raised many questions. Many people wonder why no one knew Larry was stuck? Why didn't anyone hear his cries for help?
Others couldn't understand why customers and employees couldn't sense his presence behind the refrigerator. Because there must be an odor coming from his decomposing body.
In this regard, the police put forward a theory. That is, the freezer in which the incident occurred is 12 feet high, or about 3.6 meters, and there is a loud noise coming from the freezer all the time. Therefore, his screams or attempts to get help went unheeded.
While many store employees work the same way. He expressed his opinion on this issue, especially the controversial issue of why no one can smell a rotting corpse?
They explained that because inside the supermarket there is always a strong smell mixed with the fishy smell of fresh food. So don't make anyone feel strange. More storage space in the back. They were all full of bad smell all the time.
“I can definitely understand how this happened,” said one employee. “It’s sad and unimaginable.”
One of the employees revealed that while working, he found that many mice were regularly crawling and dying in different corners, including behind cabinets and shelves. Therefore, it is not surprising that their fellow employees did not feel any complaints.
“If it were me, I'd probably be the last to know.”
But there are some people who do not agree with the employee's theory. The coroner explained that human corpses have a very strong smell. It can be called “the worst smell in the world.”
So Larry's story remains a mystery: How could neither the customers nor the store employees know that someone had died in the supermarket?
