Cleveland, Ohio – On Thursday, police went to the home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell, 50, to execute an arrest and search warrant stemming from a rape and felonious assault against a woman in early OctoberOctober reviews. Police did not find Sowell at home when they got there, but they did find something else interesting; the bodies of two women decomposing on the third floor of the home. On Friday, police returned and recovered four more bodies. One was found in a grave under the basement stairs, two in the crawlspace and another in a grave outside of the home. Anthony Sowell was arrested walking down the street near the home on SundaySunday reviews after police received a tip that he was in the area. Sowell was convicted for a 1989 rape for which he was imprisoned from 1990 to 2005. Eighteen-year-old Melissa Taub saw Sowell on the street every day. “He was nice, but he gave me the creeps,” Taub said. She said Sowell once tried to lure her into his house, but she didn’t go. “He scared me, and I didn’t trust him. Some angel must have been watching over me because If I’d have gone into that house, one of those bodies could have been me, one of those graves could have been mine.”

The coroner who performed the autopsies on the bodies told CNN that they all appeared to have been strangled. He also added that their decomposing bodies could have been lying there for “weeks, if not months or years.” 19 Action News has learned there are two women currently missing who lived within several blocks of Anthony Sowell. Janice Webb, 49-years-old, went missing on June 3rd 2009 and Nancy Cobb went missing on April 24th 2009. If you think you may have information regarding a missing operson and the Sowell investigation, you can go to the 4th District Police Headquarters located at 9333 Kinsman Ave everyday from 7am to 7pm to talk to detectives. You are encouraged to bring a photo and biographical information of the missing person.

One woman claims she is a victim of Sowell, and lucky to be alive.  She claims Sowell asked her to “drink beer” with him and when she refused he “punched her in the face and dragged her to his house.” She fought back and was able to escape the home, however police were slow to investigate her claims because Sowell reported that she had in fact assaulted him.  Ten months later, SeptemberSeptember reviews 22, another woman was raped and strangled inside the house on Imperial Avenue. She told police she passed out and woke up in her own urine and feces but surprisingly, Sowell let her leave. Here is some video of the first victim talking about what happened to her.
