After 11 bodies were found at the home of Anthony Sowell on Imperial Ave. in Cleveland, Sowell's face was plastered over the country's television news broadcasts and newspapers. It has thus far been determined that all of his victims were black women, and most were caught up in drugs and prostitution. Some were not even reported missing by their families because of the lifestyles they led. And as police in Cleveland uncovering the bodies, detectives from other cities began to wonder if Sowell might be responsible for some of their unsolved murders. Police in East Cleveland, OH; Coronado, California, and North Carolina are now investigating Sowell's possible links to crimes in those areas.

In East Cleveland, police are looking to see whether he could have been involved in the "Strawberry Murders" of the late 1980's. Sowell is suspected because he lived in East Cleveland at the time, and once he was incarcerated in 1990 on rape charges, the murders stopped.

A woman from Coronado, California, upon seeing Sowell's face on TV, called up the Coronado Police and identified him as the man who had brutally raped her in the late 1970's. A former member of the US Marines, Sowell was stationed in the area on and off during his 8-year-military career.

FBI agents today are expected to begin looking for evidence that links Sowell to crimes near the Cherry Point Marine Air Base. Again, Sowell was documented as having spent some time here.

Spanning the country over several decades, the murders would fit the profile of a serial killer. Experts do not believe that Sowell had only been killing for a few years, since his release from prison in 2005.
