OH OH - ANTHONY SOWELL, 11 bodies unearthed at his Cleveland home, 2007-09 *dies in prison 2021*

[Stoshie]

oh dear....lots of people are counting ballots today, but Cleveland PD is counting bodies.

it must be just mortifying to live in the area right now-- and be LEO on the scene!

I am in the Cleveland Metro area. I know a detective on the force and quite a few officers, including family members that have retired.

I certainly hope that none of them have to be involved in this investigation.

This is such sad, horrific, sick, and tragic news. We can't turn the clock back on the actions of this monster, but we can be very thankful that he is now off the streets.

I am sure that this is going to bring answers to many families who have loved ones missing. Each and every victim of this monster, and each of their families, will be in my prayers.

I pray that justice against this monster is swift and severe. He serves no useful purpose on earth and is a waste of flesh and the air that we breathe. May he forever rot in the deepest depths of hell.

He will no doubt get the death penalty! Get rid of the monster.My heart goes out to all the families who gather,waiting to see if their loved one is there.They are not going to limit their search to around the house but will do a large area.

Hey Nore,
I did too! And found this video http://www.oprah.com/media/20091007-tows-missing-cleveland however, the only one he could be good for would be Ashley Summers as the other two happened while he was in prison. I also don't believe he drove... so not even sure about Ashley but you never know

OT, I grew up and lived in Wooster until marying an army boy! Cleveland was my "big town"... this is very disturbing to me... even more so from knowing the area...

Oh man. Just when you think it can't get any worse.

I just want to cry.

It is terrible....I remember watching the Houston news when they were bringing out bodies from Dean Corll's house...and simultaneously sad, mad & nauseous.

It's just so wrong what 'humans' will do to others.

ETA: WEWS now saying "Police say Anthony Sowell also charged with rape, felonious assault, and kidnapping."

I had never heard of Corll before. That's terrible.

Wikipedia says they don't think the police ever located all his victims. Is that true, do you know?

You can read here about his story as well as many others. Very sick individual.
