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 went missing 10 years ago.
Authorities on Monday said they have identified the man as Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, of Council Bluffs, who was 25 years old in November 2009 when he was reported missing.
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 decomposing body was originally discovered the morning of Jan. 24 as contractors were removing the former No Frills Supermarket in Council Bluffs. Police at the time said the body appeared to have been there for years.
Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada was reported missing in 2009.
