CNN is remembering the victims of Anthony Sowell, 1 year later. CNN's "Easy Prey" Nov. 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET. May the victims rest in comfort and may their families continue to heal. [P.S. Shouldn't this thread be retitled to "11 bodies recovered" instead of "8 bodies...

Soon after this story first broke, I remember reading somewhere that Flores won money in the casino that night and the article I read specified an amount. Does anyone recall reading that she won money and how much? If this has already been discussed, my apologies.

This is one possibility that I have thought all along.... With this last statement, Mr. Homes is pointing the finger at someone on Annie's research team, perhaps even her advisor. The other possible reason that Mr. Homes is so vehemently, and adamantly twisting and ignoring evidence that...

Speculation: Perhaps not carbon monoxide poisoning, but deliberate poisoning? Such as a highly toxic substance in food or coffee?

Viewing this news clip brought tears to my eyes. Diane's daughter appears to be well cared for, and her eyes--despite the tragedy--seem clear, bright, and hopeful... as we should expect every 8-year-old to be. I hope she stays this way, her future is bright, she is comforted, and her family...

One woman went missing in 2007, four in 2008, and five in 2009 (at least, since we don't know when unidentified victim 11 went missing). Makes you wonder what was going on with Sowell in 2006 and in 2007 (since his release in 2005) . Did he or did he not kill in 2006? Or did he simply have...

Digging is done for today. Article doesn't disclose what, if anything, was found. Brown bags were placed in the coroners van. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/11/anthony_sowells_house_will_be.html Question re: the brown bags: Would the coroners office be interested in examining only human...

Sowell's December 08 victim, who escaped, speaks: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/11/cleveland_woman_says_police_fa.html Poor thing, so very sad. :( Not only was she attacked and traumatized by Sowell, she was re-traumatized by people not believing or helping her. According to the...

From the above article: "Police said Oct. 30 that the victim, a 40-year-old Cleveland woman, did not want to talk to detectives and that's why no charges were filed against Sowell. But Cleveland Prosecutor Victor Perez offered a different explanation Thursday, saying charges were not filed in...

I'm wondering if the "that girl" Sowell is referring to in this article is an imaginary, fictional person. I bet that he was not was referring to the mayor's niece (as the article indicates) or any real person. The "that girl" is probably one of the voices in his head.

More info on the 10th victim, Leshanda Long, and some of the same information already posted previously (e.g., recovery efforts). Plus see the sidebar regarding the funeral arrangements for 3 of the identified victims. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/11/police_identify_10th_victim_in.html...

City coroner office faces an arduous task http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/11/coroners_staff_works_to_identi.html So far, IMO, they seem to be doing a great job in quickly IDing the victims.

It is possible that some of these families are still seeking, gathering and pooling their resources to make funeral arrangements. So sad :(

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091107/ap_on_re_us/us_cleveland_bodies_found Excerpt: CLEVELAND (AP) -- Authorities say Anthony Sowell lured women into his home in a busy neighborhood, killed them -- most by strangulation -- and scattered their remains throughout the inside and buried some in the...

There is a good point made by "maggie1954" as a comment to this article. I don't know much about the military, and how often one gets to visit home during a stint, but perhaps women who were missing in Cleveland during his time in the military shouldn't be ruled out as possible victims...

A similar article about the dumpster, and neighbor saying the smell would persist until it was hauled away by the garbage truck: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-ap-us-cleveland-bodies-found,0,5406527.story "Alongside the fence stood a trash bin that would start to smell about once a...

Good point. A criminologist on NG last night said that we put too much stock in murderers' MOs, and that many killers just do whatever is most convenient. Perhaps Sowell may not have so much targeted black women but may have killed whomever he had easiest access to, in this case, black women...

Interesting article. I wonder if the women whose bodies were found after Sowell went to jail went missing before he was in jail? It would be interesting to know whether the rate of women going missing decreased significantly in the 15 or 16 year period that Sowell was in jail. This help inform...

Do you have a link or quote?

Yes, when I watched NG, I wondered about that too. No one made the connection among all the missing posters that canvassed the neighborhood and said.... "hmmmm"? Or LE didn't make a connection that there were so many missing women (some missing from this year) from a small region? And although...
