Decomposing Body Found in Car in Walmart Parking Lot

The groundskeeper of a Maryland Walmart who investigated a foul smell emanating from a parked car stumbled upon a revolting surprise: the decomposing remains of a woman’s body.

Authorities believe the woman’s body had been decomposing for about three weeks when it was found.

The 2002 Chrysler Sebring was reportedly parked “suspiciously” far away from the store. The groundskeeper found the car – and the body – at around 3 p.m. on Thursday as he was mowing the store's lawn.

Despite the car’s strange location, Elkton Police Department spokesperson Lt. Joseph Zurolo said that “It doesn’t appear to be foul play.”

“The car was parked in an isolated area of the Walmart parking lot,” Zurolo added. “It wasn’t in the mix with all of the other vehicles.”

WalMart doesn't get suspicious when a car is there for 3 weeks? And it's there night and day for three weeks?
Amazing.

Sounds like it may have been a Walmart Night Employee taking a LONG NAP....they have such a high turn over of employees...they would not notice anyway....

Couldn't have been on the Eastern Shore. Buzzards would have been circling after week one.

It was in Elkton, MD. I knew the woman many years ago. She was homeless and sleeping in her car. She had no immediate family and there was no one to miss her or to report her missing.
