The Disappearance of Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada

Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement, no traces of Larry were found for over a decade. His family remained in agonizing uncertainty during that time.

A Shocking Discovery at the Grocery Store

In January 2019, workers dismantling shelves at the closed No Frills Supermarket in Council Bluffs, Iowa, made a chilling discovery. They found a decomposed body lodged behind the shelves

It was later confirmed to be Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, solving the decade-long mystery.

Trapped Behind a Cooler: A Tragic Accident

Investigators believe that Larry climbed onto the coolers, a common practice among employees. He slipped into an 18-inch gap between the cooler and the wall and became trapped. Tragically, the loud noise from the coolers’ compressors likely drowned out his cries for help.

His remains were identified through DNA analysis, which matched samples from his parents. His clothing also matched what he wore the day he disappeared. Sadly, his mother’s belief that Larry had never left the supermarket was proven correct.

A Rare and Heartbreaking Case

The discovery of a store worker’s corpse trapped behind shelves is an extremely rare incident. Authorities ruled his death accidental after finding no signs of trauma or foul play.
