Who was Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada?

Larry was a 25-year-old supermarket worker from Iowa.

He went missing in 2009 after he failed to return home.

Larry’s parents alerted the authorities to his disappearance and explained that their son was “barefoot” and “hallucinating”’ at the time he left the house and went into the storm.

How did Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada die?

A cold case was launched after Larry left home.

But no clues were found until his body was discovered many years later in 2019.

The recovery of Larry’s body allowed Larry’s parents to finally get some answers about what happened to their son.

Police think the young man was cleaning behind the fridge when he fell headfirst into the tight space and became stuck.

Larry had worked at No Frills and former workers said it wasn’t unusual for employees to climb atop the units to stock them.

A chilling simulation reconstructs what investigators think happened to Larry.

A man can be seen holding a cloth and leaning into the space behind the fridge between two walls.

He then suddenly falls behind and becomes stuck in an upside down uncomfortable position as shoppers browse the shelves just inches away.

When was Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada’s body found?

Larry’s body was found by workers removing fridges in 2019.

Police investigators said that Larry’s corpse showed no signs of trauma and his death was declared an “accident”.

Victor Murillo, Larry’s father, shared his reaction to the tragic news explaining how he felt like the earth had “swallowed” him whole following his disappearance.

He told local US news outlet KETV: “We went out to find him, my wife and I.”

“Another friend came to help me. We got up early and couldn’t find anything. It felt like the earth had swallowed him whole.”

Talking about the impact the discovery of his son’s remains had on him he said: “Our heads are spinning, finding this out after so many years, and it is distressing. It makes us feel a lot of pain.”

Sgt Danielson, who had worked on Murillo-Moncada’s disappearance back in 2009 added: “We have missing persons all the time, but this is just unique.”
