It's not really a mystery. You have a leak somewhere, and the standing water is growing mildew. It doesn't take a whole lot. You just have to track it down.

Check your carpets for moisture. Check under your seats. Check under the spare tire. Check under the cowl cover. Check the doors. The Jeep guys find their leaks by putting a hose on various likely areas during dry weather and then checking inside to see if they have caused the leak themselves.

Dessicant packs can get rid of the moisture. Damp rid actually does work, but you need to find the leak if you want to get rid of it once and for all.

You can kill the mildew (and the smell) with an ozone generator. Don't ozone it for too long, though, because ozone eats electronics if given enough time. A couple of hours should do it. You can rent small ozone generators.
