Cleveland Police have been searching Sowell’s home and neighborhood around the clock since late last week when they found six decomposing bodies at his apartment. Last night, police announced they unearthed what they believe are four more bodies buried in the backyard, and a human skull in his basement.
The search continues, but Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath says he hopes there are no more victims.
McGRATH: Do I believe there’s more bodies? I don’t know at this time. What we’re going to do is search the property until we’re totally satisfied it’s totally clean.
Police have already charged Sowell with five counts of rape and aggravated murder. Sowell is a convicted rapist who served 15 years in prison for that crime. Now, many are already asking why it took police so long to find these victims.
