Finally, on a hunch, I went up in the attic and directly above that closet I found a dead racoon that had found his way in under a piece of loose soffit. Had to not only remove him, but about four trash bags of blown in insulation---not a fun project. I thought something that big would smell a lot worse than a dead mouse, but I guess the fact that it was separared by the ceiling and the insulation made the odor exactly the same.

Hope this isn't what's going on in your house, but if that smell doesn't go away in a couple days, you better start looking.
