The Smell of Decomposition

By 10.30am, Dallas Brooks Drive had been cordoned off as authorities surrounded the car. Its doors were locked and windows shut but there was no visible damage anywhere. The smell of decomposition became more pronounced as temperatures rose. Police forced entry into the vehicle by peeking a lock, causing the jarring car alarm to go off across the quiet parklands. Lifting the rear hood released the rancid smell of the K, as officers caught sight of what was inside. Maria corpse skin was pale and covered in bruises. Crusted around her nostrils of mouth was dried blood. Her lips were cracked and split. She had a larger open head wound. Missing persons detective Narel
