6…7…8…9…10 **UPDATE**…11

If the body county keeps rising, Sowell is set to overrun The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run as the most notorious serial killer in Cleveland’s history.

Unlike the Torso killer, who severed his 13 victims’ limbs with the precision of a surgeon, Sowell is just a stupid mf’er. A druggie scrapper.

We–police, reporters, neighbors–are going to ask ourselves forever how we missed this one.

UPDATE: Body county at 11. Keep in mind, Sowell was a scrapper. Knew every abandoned house in the neighborhood. Police have not even started looking at those properties. I expect his finally tally could be triple this, well beyond the Torso killer.

Anthony Sowell Not Only Serial Killer Stalking East Side

One astute reader sent me this link from a 1993 Plain Dealer article.

Same general neighborhood as Anthony Sowell. Same M.O.–strangulation. Same type of victim–destitute African American women looking to party.

But Sowell was in prison when these murders occurred.

Maybe it’s time to revisit these cases, too.

BREAKING: Cleveland Cops Discover Serial Killer on East Side

Wow.

Two bodies in advanced state of decomp found in the house of a registered sex offender named Anthony Sowell. Freshly-dug grave in the basement. ***Sowell is on the run. Anyone who knows his whereabouts should contact authorities NOW***

Hoo boy. What have we found here? 

This could be the tip of an iceberg.

Nice work tonight, Cleveland Police! One sick puppy off the streets–soon, anyway. This guy has nowhere to hide in NEOhio anymore.

I think we’re all thinking the same thing about those bodies. Let’s give them some time before we start calling it out.

Anyone out there with more info on this guy?

**UPDATE**

Cool it with the Amanda Berry/Gina DeJesus stuff. This guy appears to have been in prison between 89 and 05. However, his method of torture and binding does resemble the MO of one serial killer operating in the area. Although, these other girls were left in rivers. How many of these predators are currently operating in NE Ohio?
