It's 2:15 in the afternoon on Wednesday, June 5, 2019.
Temperatures have peaked, reaching nearly 80 degrees on an overcast day in Worcester.
Police are called to Early's towing on Park Avenue. A van had been towed to their lot minutes before. The smell coming from the van, and the hundreds of flies coming out of the van, convinced Early's staff to call the WPD.
When police arrived, an officer climbed inside the van and found a plastic storage container under boxes of clothes, bags of trash and other junk.
The detective lifted the container's lid to find the body of 56-year-old John Sousa crammed inside.
John had been missing for more than a month.
