Had this happen in college with the woman that lived across from me in the dorms. She’d been in her dorm room for at least two weeks deceased until she was discovered and I understand 100% what it means about that smell. That’s the only reason we called 911.There’s absolutely nothing like that kind of smell and once you smell it you never forget what that smell means.

My elderly neighbor went missing. We lived in a rural setting. Our dogs began feeding on him after he decomposed. Law enforcement couldn't find him WITH A CADAVER DOG so they put a tracking collar on our dog and she led them to his corpse. He ended up being very close to our home on some hunting land. He had dementia and apparently got lost or overcome with heat. He was missing for several weeks before I heard my dogs rolling his skull around on our deck. It was very sad IMO that his children got him back like that. When he first went missing they had choppers and ATVs and ALOT of people on the ground searching to no avail.

Once you smell decomp, especially human decomp, you'll ALWAYS know the smell. The combo of glucose and iron as the body breaks down is a kind of sweet sickening smell. Coupled with bacterial gas is just hard to deal with. I've had to throw out clothes I've worn from working scenes. Maybe it was psychological but I couldn't get them clean.

[@rosiep7642]

Chris Neal, I know what you're talking about. Human decomp is distinctly different from animal decomp. I wasn't aware that the sweet odor was because of the reason you described. It was almost a bit fruity. Weird. When I came home at night after working at my rental house (all day, every day - for two months), I'd strip off everything from head to toe and throw it in the washer before showering. I had to throw away a couple of pairs of shoes. And, yes, it took a long time to get that smell out of my head.

It was an indescribable smell but I remember it to be overwhelming and nauseous.

There is a difference between a cop and a detective. I’m not saying a detective shouldn’t be in decent shape, but these aren’t some 19 year old losers straight out of high school in their physical prime applying to the police academy. These are 40 year old losers on their physical decline trying to solve murders. So have some respect please.

@@kevincorso7929 I haven't read the other comments, but I couldn't agree more, there is a difference in detectives and "beat cops" but still, being in this shape is pathetic haha especially when a civilian is supposed to rely on them to be in shape enough to actually help if needed. I would be worried if they came to my rescue period Lol If you can't bend over to tie your own shoe you shouldn't be a cop!!

[@EarlGray007]

Week and and half? WTF? That place must be some kind of dump if you smelling death for that long before you think to call for help. SMDH. They nasty.

That guy said I don't know what happened and I don't want to know. We have a saying were I live. It's not have a nice day or goodbye, we say stay safe, cuz any minute it could be us.

I’ve not heard of Vicki Dortch since she worked for WPSD. Am glad to see she’s doing well.

The smell of decomposition and rot is nothing easy to stop. And that smell is so loud and horrible that it will haunt you.... When my uncle jamie was killed.... He was an older man... They put his body in a tank. As we drive up.... I could smell him...it was so horrible I was a kid. I am a grown woman and when I think of it... I can smell it now. It is no scent like that .

[@weekendnomad5038]

A little girl was murdered and hidden just outside of my aunts work when I was little. Close enough that the smell was in the building. You never forget that smell

[@nk-dw2hm]

You'd think people would have heard if there were 3 murders, drug overdose is most likely. Decriminalize drugs and provide treatment for free

You can't shake that smell ever. RIP to the people.
