I did alot of research on Ozone Generators and they seem to be the "industrial strength" method of odor removal.
They are as already mentioned, expensive, but they do work. You just have to be aware that they can also make one very sick while they are working so you dont want to be in that vehicle while it is running, if you decide to go that route.
Aside from that, just cleaning all the dirt out of the carpets and fabric if the seats are fabric, will make a huge difference in what else is left to smell bad.
This is where a good carpet extractor will really be good. I have not done a vehicle yet, even really clean ones, where I dont get a few gallons of dark brown water in the recovery tank after using the extractor on the carpeted areas, fabrics, and floor mats. It is still unbelieveable how much dirt is apparently down there at the bottom, that never comes out without help.
Next best thing would be a big compressor and a open nozzle to blow as much airflow through the vehicle, and in the process, moving alot of that dirt hopefully out the other side.
Have you removed the back seat/s to see if someone didnt leave something under there that melted, etc..?
Good luck with this.

Plastic bag down with a bag of charcoal briquettes with a X cut in top...
This will adsorb any foal odor...Make sure you get plain charcoal briquettes, no fuel in them lol...

Many tests have been done regarding the use of charcoal briquettes to reduce or eliminate odor. The concensus is you should use activated charcoal and not charcoal briquttes even if you purchase the plain briquettes.
To activate charcoal, steam or air at a high temperature is used to oxidize it. This process makes the charcoal develop lots and lots of tiny pores. These tiny holes are what make activated charcoal able to adsorb so much more than regular charcoal can.
In addition to not being as ?pure? or oxidized as activated carbon, charcoal briquettes generally have other chemicals added to them to bind and make them combust better for use in grills.

Like Richard have said, I would go with a OZONE GENERATOR.
