CLEVELAND — Cleveland police focused their search for evidence on a house just four doors down from suspected serial killer Anthony Sowell's home on Saturday, after a 9-year-old girl told authorities she found something in the backyard, Fox8.com reported. Cleveland Police and FBI agents removed possible evidence from the abandoned house and the vacant field next to the home, Fox8.com reported. The area was taped off as investigators conducted their search on Imperial Avenue. Cleveland police did not confirm if anything significant was found, but they did remove items to be analyzed, Fox8.com reported.
As the search for remaining victims continues, families of those women already identified as victims are mourning. Families and friends of Michelle Mason and Nancy Cobbs both held funeral services on Saturday.
Meanwhile FBI and police agents have been using thermal imaging cameras — which work by identifying heat — to search for additional evidence on convicted sex offender and accused serial killer Anthony Sowell. Sowell, 50, was arraigned in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Friday.
Detectives have examined blueprints of Sowell's home, identifying some areas of the home where bodies could potentially have been hidden. Authorities hope to use the thermal imaging to look at those areas, Fox8.com reported. "Anything that's decomposing whether it's tree trunks would give off some heat so certainly a body would give off heat if it's decomposing, and it would show different colors and if they find something they should dig up they'll mark it and do further searches," FBI Spokesman Scott Wilson told Fox8.com. Sowell is charged with attempted murder, and two counts each of Rape, Kidnapping and Felonious Assault. Sowell allegedly attacked a woman, referred to as Jane Doe, at his Imperial Avenue home on September 22, 2009. When police responded to Sowell's home on October 29, 2009, they found the decaying bodies of 11 women.
All I can say to this story is wow! How can someone get away with 11 dead women and they not think he is at it again? I don't really think there is such a thing as rehabilitation for sex offenders its a violent crime and there are to many hormones involved, but that's just my opinion. I know that he should have been at the top of the list way before now I know they are all on a list or suppose to be and if not they all need to castrated. So be it they asked for it the first time they harmed the very first woman.
Hearing of violent crimes to women, them killing them, torturing them and harming them in every imagineable way is so inhumane that they should not have the right to walk this beautiful green earth we live in no matter how war-torn and twisted it may be. Life is to short and it seems that almost every woman I have ever encountered in my 38 years of existence has been raped in one way or another and its common-place and its so depressing how do we protect our kids if we can't protect ourselves?
