Because it takes that long, at times, to get a judge to sign off on it. Also, in the meantime they searched the yard.
But not that long to ask the owner if they can take samples or investigate the smell. Things that were not done. Also in cases like this, there is reasonable suspicion of a persons life in great danger which overrides the need for a warrant. They could have said they detected the odor of death and due to the pressing urgency immediatle impounded the vehicle.
