A former resident at accused murderer Anthony Sowell home speaks out.

torture him if only it's allowed. I was surprised houses are next to each other but no one noticed what's going on . i guess its the i don't care or mind your own business attitude we have in us. I can't also believed that just because the lady who escaped has record the police did not pay attention and investigate further.more lives could have been save. it's horrible i guess we should all be aware of what's going on around us.

i blame the city of cleveland police!!!!!!!!!! they didnt do there job , HOW COULD THERE BE A SMELL OF THAT KIND FOR 2YRS AND THE POLICE NOT NO >

Only one of the victims was reported missing by her family, allothers were not reported.

I agree with you. It seems that we live in a throw away, out of sight out of mind society. The public can't blame just the police, or the city. I think a lot of these women could have been saved, if their friends or families had reported them missing ages ago.

This is soooooooooo incredibly, sad my prayers go out to the killer, for cleaning up the hood and wish him a speedy re-entry back into the black community.God speed my friend.~SDD~

The drug factor is what is involved here, the question remains did he do it at all or act alone? The reality is nobody yet has known if these bodies were murdered on site or collected from the streets nearby, this is a community where drug culture is second nature like the leaves falling from the trees, the mayors niece lived with him until a year ago and she reports being taken care of very well by Sowell, I think these bodies were recently taken there by the human rats who had to discard them as unproductive sidewalk sales people and there are probably many more in the open empty homes around there that the human rats use as lookout posts. There is a lot of speculation now that someone who did not report the smell but reported while visiting the resident Sowell he was aggressive towards her and she left to report it as rape, next the police come along to question him and this discovery evolved. Sowell recently had a driveway cookout, folks there talked with him on the streets and sat on his steps to tip some cans of malt like we all do to cure our hands of the pain of raking leaves - with a week of cameras and interviews nobody has said they saw him bury the bodies, kill any of them or even hear the screaming victims cry out for help - if someone knows who killed these ladies please stand up.

It is a shame to learn that family decay has shown itself in this media coverage, imagine a person missing about a year with a family that never heard from a member during the winter holidays, no contact during other family celebrations, it seems this lifestyle is the accepted norm for this area of the city that once had the nations highest ranking school district and heavy industrial base, this seems to be why american companies have moved the manufacturing base into rural areas to get skilled workers or overseas where the family culture is a close knit structure - missing a year and never reported to police - what this country needs is martial law to corral the problems and not wait till the plea goes out for dna to let you know you have family missing. The drug dealers are now very upset that this man closed their livelyhood down, a neighborhood that has naked women falling from windows accepts this as a normal fashion - how often does this get discussed in your area? The streets are talking, the graves are talking, this area is waking up - don't let the sleeping giant drift away. Teach these families to stay a little closer now, it appears the third and second generation of careless culture could use the young street soldiers to help one another at night and by day.
As mentioned on the news about other serial killers they seem to come from broken homes and show otherwise productive lives in the workplace - make friends in your neighborhood today and tonight. You do not have to go to a building to be thankful for the lords work, do it at home too. The police force purpose is to keep peace, this community has become peaceful with the sidewalk trafficking, if you ever have a chance to walk or ride in this area mostly what you hear is thumping large vehicles jacked up driven by a single person with a cell phone held to the side of her/his head drifting along the streets, how could they ever know when the thugs are inside a house fighting with someone? Cleveland - turn down your tv set and blasting music - where did these deaths occur?
Nobody has reported seeing a grave digger, murderer or even a scream from a victim with a week of camera exposure, will the person who Sowell do this please stand up.

I agree that this is a very sad situation all the way around. I also think that you are as ill as he is, and should seek immediate professional psychiatric counseling.

Sue from Canton, The reality is nobody yet has known if these bodies were murdered there or people collected them from the streets nearby, this is a community where family values have eroded from having the nations highest ranking school district to 3d and 2nd generation careless culture, the families do not report missing children - the police had to plea with folks to get dna to get some info on who these bodies really are - can you imagine the family values of the folks who just discovered their girl 4 houses away missing over a year and they never reported it.
The mysterious question remains did he do it at all or even act alone?
This is a community where drug culture is second nature, mayor Jackson's niece lived with him until a year ago and she is surprised of the recent discoveries involving the bodies found there, Sowell apparently had one of the victims as a visitor because a gentleman admits to dropping off Ms. Culver at the Sowell house, but with all the media interviews and questioning not one person has reported hearing or seeing Sowell digging any graves, burying anything or choking anybody, no screaming from any victims, Sowell had another lady visitor who said he was aggressive to her and she left - she did not complain about the smell but she filed the attempted rape charge on him bringing the police attention recently. With a week of camera interviews Sowell's neighbors talked about coming to his cookout, talked with him on the streets and sat out front tipping some brews probably talking about the factory smell and the noisy car music that rides around there all the time. With so many unoccupied houses broken open in this area creating hide outs for the drug culture and other bad elements who knows if the pimps did not use Sowell's place as a dumping ground for the remains of unproductive sidewalk workers, the smell is older to this area than the falling leaves blowing against the side of the buildings. The drug dealers are now very upset that this man closed their livelyhood down, it would not surprise me if the cadaver dogs pointed to those empty houses they use as hideouts, martial law would get the city looking good but no politician wants to do it because they can not directly take the glimmer of the spotlight.

The victims found on the property have many visits to the court system, many more than Sowell who served 15 years for attempted rape and came out with good comments on the public release paperwork. The victim list will grow but this public information was found in the Cuyahoga public infosite;
Tonia Carmichael, 1978 grand theft, 1982 concealed weapon, 1987 theft with specs, 1995 theft with violent specs, 2000 unauthorized motor vehicle, 2002 theft and burglary, 2003 premitting drug abuse, 2005 drug possession and soliciting.

This is in response to "Da Steets", you had no rights to violate the women who were killed by that that beast of a so called man sowell! Just because they did have a past, that gave him no right to take thier lives, that makes me wonder about you, it sound as if you praise sowell, could you be a sowell in the making or are you already there? Now take that to Da Streets!

I re-read Da Streets post, he/she is just stating the facts for the most part.

I had a long conversation with a friend the other day, she doesn't have any clue as to how life is any different in East Cleveland then in Berea, except that they are poor. Da Streets post just tells the story many of us will not let ourselves believe.
