This story is local to me and it's been discussed at length on the local groups and forums since he was found almost a year ago. The general consensus as to why the smell wasn't a big thing was for two reasons. First, it was near the dumpsters where expired food and waste was thrown out so it smelled in that area anyway. And two, the heat from the compressors would have basically cooked him. Not to sound gross but seeing as how human flesh is nearly identical to pork, the smell would've basically been the same as rotting pork/beef/chicken in the dumpsters 20 feet away. It just kind of blended in.
And as for not being found for so long, the store closed 3 years ago. It's been sitting empty since and they only found him while demolishing the inside of the building. Add to that he was an illegal immigrant who had been deported once before, no one was really looking for him either.
