Cleveland Police Announce Body Count Now 10 At Sowell Home

11-04-2009 03:35 AM EST | By ###John McDade/Tom Roberts/JQ Lawrence
(Cleveland, OH) -- Cleveland police say four more bodies have been found in the backyard of Anthony Sowell's home where six bodies were discovered late last week. Police Chief Michael McGrath says in addition to the ten bodies, a skull has been discovered in a bucket stashed in the basement. A backhoe was used to dig around the home Sowell lived in Tuesday and the machine unearthed the additional bodies. McGrath says the six victims discovered last week are all female and the coroner has determined most were strangled. A search for additional victims will continue today with investigators looking inside walls and under floors. Police are reviewing missing persons reports as far back as June 2005, when Sowell was released from prison where he'd been confined for 15 years on a rape conviction.
