Body found behind cooler at Iowa supermarket was employee who went missing 10 years ago
DES MOINES, Iowa – A man whose dead body was found at a former Council Bluffs supermarket in January has been identified as an employee who disappeared 10 years ago.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation identified him using DNA collected from Murillo-Moncada's biological parents. An autopsy showed no signs of trauma to Murillo-Moncada, and the death has been ruled accidental. The grocery store has been closed for about three years, said Sgt. Brandon Danielson with the Council Bluffs Police Department.
"It was a snowstorm at the time," Danielson said."He left with no shoes, no socks, no keys, no car."
