My local Walmart has this huge parking lot that always has tons of cars/trucks/campers parked in the back. Some stay for days, weeks, months. I doubt anyone would notice anything for quite awhile. Walmart sure doesn't do anything about it.
Walmart offers free "over night" parking for campers and motor homes etc for travelers. Its not exactly scenic but if you are tired, wanna save a few bucks, what ever, its a nice service to the public.
Its sad a dead body can sit in a car in a busy place like that for months but I can see how it could happen. According to the article, the windows were dark tinted, there was a sun shade on the windshield, it was parked in a remote area of the lot. I can see how it could go unnoticed for quiet a while. At least she had been reported as missing. Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight. No one is looking for you there.
What about the guy who died at his desk? He was the type to come in early and stay late. He came in early on a Friday, died at his desk, and wasn't found until the next week. He was quiet and kept to himself, so no one bothered him. They did, however, all fight over his red Swingline stapler after the body was hauled out.
This story remind me of when I went with my aunt to look at a house she was going to fix up and rent . Well the house was at the end of a dirt road and she and I both thought :wow you would never see this house from the road " we drove up and there was a man on a rocking chair on the front porch , I got out and said hello and he did not move and I told my aunt , "you had better wait there , cause he is not moving I think he is dead " and he was visibily dead as I got closer . we called the real estate agent and then we called the police . The real estate agent said she had just been out there a few days ago and no one was there . The police officer told us it looked like he was a homeless person and he just sat down to rest and died there . I wonder how long he would have been there had we not gone over there . Well anyway my aunt bought the house and while she was cleaning it up and getting it ready one of her workers found a makeshift camp site a ways from the house so she figured the guy was probably living behind the house in the woods , scary really if you think about it . Sad as well.

I had an engine throw a rod one time on an older car. Chugged along until I could park it at a Wal-Mart. It sat there for a good week or so before I had the salvage truck take it away. No one said anything about it.

Really, ?? What is it with people and staplers? Reminds me of that strange dude on TV in Office. Anyways, reading the article, a needle was found in her car and that she may of died from an overdose not a suicide.
I used to work at a big box chain with a huge parking lot. Gotta admit never really paid much attention how long a vehicle has been sitting there. And with the girl's vehicle being tinted, I can see how it took that long for anyone to notice.
I can see nobody paying attention to a parked jetta. Not really a unique, eye catching car, at least to me so I know I wouldn't notice it. I would notice some classic muscle car, lifted 4x4, street rod or whatever but even then, how would I know if it wasn't being moved. Wal-marts have big parking lots so a car not having been moved wouldn't be given much thought because it could have been move between another set of lines. No big deal. As far as other employees. A bunch work at those stores and I know when I worked at larger retail places I didn't know what everybody drove so I would give no thought. Besides, perhaps an employee had a breakdown and is waiting for a few extra bucks to get it towed/fixed.
Now what does seem strange though, is that it is a car, therefore open and low (unlike a van or dark windowed SUV) and nobody noticed a strange looking (as in dead) body! But then again, and like to consider myself aware of my surroundings, I don't like looking close enough into a car to actually make any identifications as such. So I could have parked right next to her and not thought anything different.
*just read above that the windows were tinted. makes all sorts of sense now. I mean really, who is really going to notice a body through tinted windows in a regular car that is parked in a large parking lot where people do normally park cars for day's at a time?

It's as if you had logged into my brain, read my thoughts, and made this post because this is pretty much word for word what I was going to say. Every word of it.
