- ‘I just smelled it’: Witness says he smelled odor for weeks before body found in donation box
A man was found dead in a clothes donation box in Odessa, Texas, with no signs of foul play. A neighbor reported smelling a strong odor for weeks before the discovery, initially assuming it came from a trashcan. The scene involved heavy police and medical examiner response, and the donation box was removed by Sunday.
