While KC was driving her car around she probably had windows open or likely was running the air conditioner. The car wasn't tightly closed up; there could be odor building but not necessarily noticeable to others coming near the car or even riding in the car with the AC on.
Once the car was abandoned, no doors/windows were being opened, the trunk was not being opened anymore, and the AC was not being used. The vehicle basically sat closed up tight, unventilated in the Florida heat. At that time any odor would begin worsening but the car could still have been towed three days later without anyone being wise to an odor since it was parked right next to a dumpster. As the vehicle remained closed up sitting in the towyard the odor would have worsened by leaps and bounds.
I really do think GA was in total denial--he knew what he was smelling in that car because by that time the smell could not be ignored. It could be that GA was not emotionally in a place where he was able to face the facts. I have experience with this type of denial, have had incidents in my life that were horrific enough that I could not see the forest from the trees because I just was not ready emotionally to go there. Now in hindsight, it is easy to see how I should have known...
As for KC's friends being in the car and not smelling anything, I thought it was determined that they rode in the car earlier, around June 3 or 4? Someone testified that she thought it was after the 16th but she could be mistaken. It has, after all, been three years!
