The body of Robert Paul Owens, 34, was found on Oct. 10 facedown on a lawn of a residence where no one lived and where law enforcement conducted trainings, his family said.
Fresh bodies don't smell strongly. They do develop a characteristic odor fairly quickly, but you can't really smell it unless you're close, and I've been around enough of them that I recognize the smell for what it is.
It wasn’t two days. He was last seen alive the evening of the 8th and the groundskeeper found him the morning of the 9th. It was only a few hours at most.
