Dead body found in RV - sounds almost like a script for "Fargo"

[question everything]

A rolling bachelor party that started in the Twin Cities and was bound for the Kentucky Derby came unraveled not far down the road when the celebrants discovered a man’s body in an exterior compartment of their rented recreational vehicle.

Authorities have not identified the man or said what led to his death. The body was discovered late Thursday after the RV, which was rented from a private party in Anoka, pulled off in Winona, Minn., along Hwy. 61 and parked outside a closed-for-the-night Shopko discount store.

John Kirk, one of the passengers, said he and some of the others were told that the RV’s owner had cautioned that the two compartments near the front “do not work and should not be opened.”

However, as more of the guys were picked up to the south, some of them didn’t get the message.

“They opened it up, and that’s when the body was found,” Kirk, of St. Louis Park, said Friday.

1. So there wasn't an odor?

2. There was. They first opened one compartment

and then closed it. But this sent a "whiff" of odor.

I suppose that after more than four months, a body should be decomposed, or frozen during the harsh winter of Minnesota.

3. He's been pretty well refrigerated over the winter

and is probably just now thawing out. There will be a lot for the ME to work on.

It's a favorite place to stash bodies around here, only most murderers then set fire to the RV, alerting police to investigate.

4. My niece thought it sounded like "The Hangover"

given there was a bachelor party involved.
