Anthony Sowell: More Gruesome Finds as 4 More Bodies & a Skull Discovered on Convicted Rapist Property

Just when you thought it could not get any worse. The house of horrors continues at the Cleveland, OH home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell. The number of bodies found is at 10 and counting … Make it 11.

Anthony Sowell, Rapist, Murderer … Hiding in Plain Sight

If the previous grim finds were not bad enough, as investigators have found four more bodies from Sowell’s back yard and a skull from his basement. The skull was actually found in a bucket in the basement.  Anthony Sowell has now been charged with 5 counts of aggravated murder. 50 year old Anthony Sowell was also charged Tuesday with rape, felonious assault and kidnapping.

The gruesome new discovery comes after 6 bodies were found last week in the Sowell’s house, bringing the totaly number of bodies found to 10. Authorities do not know whether the skull belongs to an 11th victim.

Sowell will be arraigned Wednesday.

Cadaver dogs unsuccessfully searched Sowell’s backyard throughout the day, but found the remains while using a backhoe to dig up portions of the yard, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said Tuesday night.

“It appears that this man had an insatiable appetite that he had to fill,” McGrath said.

Cleveland Police Go to Arrest Sex Offender for Rape & Find 6 Bodies at Home … Anthony Sowell Arrested By Police

Here is something that police did not expect and talk about your ghoulish and heinous crimes. They go to arrest a convicted sex offender for rape and discover their suspect is a serial killer.

On Thursday, Cleveland, OH police went to the home of convicted sex offender Anthony Sowell to arrest him on charges of  felonious assault and rape. However, upon entering the home police found three bodies and expect to confirm three more.  Police found two badly decomposed bodies on the third floor of his home on Thursday and a third was discovered Friday afternoon in the basement’s dirt floor. The possible remains of three more people were found in Sowell’s house and backyard. Sowell had lived in the home since 2005.

Convicted Sex Offender: Anthony E. Sowell

Police say Sowell spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape. As we always say, there is no such thing as a one time rapist and they cannot be rehabilitated.

In 1989, Sowell lived on Page Avenue in East Cleveland. That’s where he lured a 21-year-old woman into his bedroom, choked her and repeatedly raped her, prosecutors said. That led to his prison sentence from 1990 until 2005.

This case once again brings up the question as to why we let serial rapist out of prison? Why are they not at least forever on probation? Since Sowell was no longer on probation, police needed a search warrant to get in.

Once released, Sowell had to register as a sex offender. He was required to report to the sheriff’s office once a year until 2008, when a change in the law caused him to report every 90 days.

He last checked in on Sept. 2. On Sept. 22, deputies did a spot check on him to verify he lived on Imperial. Sowell answered the door, but deputies did not enter the home. Since Sowell was no longer on probation, they needed a search warrant to get in.

Maybe the discovery of these 6 bodies can put some family’s pain to some rest in the case of any missing persons cases?

• Missing 43 year old Cleveland mom Nancy Cobbs left her home on April 24, 2009 and was never seen again. Family and friends of Nancy Cobbs feared one of them might be Cobbs. She lived only one street away from Sowell.

UPDATE I: Sex Offender and Suspected Murderer has been Arrested by Police

READING, WRITING & RAPE: 2 People Arrested, Up to 20 Involved in Gang Rape of 15 Year Old Girl Outside Richmond, CA High School Home Coming Dance

WTF!!! What is going on in our schools … Reading, Writing and Rape.

Some stories just offend every sensibility of our human nature that it is impossible to be objective. The following is one of those heinous and despicable stories.

Two people have been arrested and as many as 20 may have been involved in the gang rape of a 15 year old girl outside a Richmond High School home coming dance in Richmond, CA. According to the police, a 15 year old girl was gang raped Saturday night over a 2 1/2 hour.

Police posted a $20,000 reward Tuesday for anyone who comes to them with information that helps arrest and convict those involved in what authorities describe as a 2½-hour assault on the Richmond High School campus in suburban San Francisco.

Two teenage suspects have been jailed, but more arrests, as many as 20 total, are expected, according to a police detective.

According to reports as many as 10 people took part in the actual rape while another 10 people looked on and did absolutely nothing. NOTHING!!! A 15 year old girl is brutally savaged for 2 1/2 hours and not one person did anything to help this poor girl. UNBELIEVABLE. Instead if a human reaction by the 10 to help, they just watched. Although how many of us think that some one captured pics or video of the rape on their cell phone?

Who knew that Big Dan’s Tavern was alive and well at Richmond High School? For those of you unfamiliar with the Big Dan’s Tavern reference, this was the rape case made popular by the Jodie Foster movie, The Accused.

Former Racine Mayor Democrat Gary Becker Awaits Trial for Attempt to Arrange on-line Sex Tryst With 14 Year Old Girl

Could Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Cable be Arrested for Assault and Face suspension by NFL … Would Anyone Notice?

The Oakland Raiders face the possibility of not having head coach Tom Cable. It is being widely speculated that Cable will be arrested soon in relation to an alleged assault on an assistant coach. Tom Cable could face criminal charges and a possible suspension from the NFL for violation of the personal conduct policy.

Although Napa Valley (Calif.) police have declined to comment on the investigation, NFL.com quoted the attorney for Raiders assistant coach Randy Hanson as saying that Hanson told police he had been assaulted by Cable on Aug. 5 while the Raiders were in training camp. Hanson was treated for a broken jaw and his attorney, San Francisco-based John McGuinn, said three other coaches, including Marshall, witnessed the attack.

Hell, let the Silver & Black Raiderette Cheerleader attack coach the team. Could they do any worse and a great marketing ploy

I guess the first question is, would anyone notice if Cable was gone? The Oakland Raiders have been so bad as a football team that one would surmise that of they let the Raider mascot coach the team, nobody might notice. Second, the manner in which the team has played and the way in which the Raider organization has run football operations of late might be deemed criminal as well. Can they all be arrested as well?

Fresh off a Sunday dismantling by the Houston Texans 29–6, maybe an arrest would be a welcome change? One thing is for certain, Cable’s punch of Raider’s assistant might be the only hit that the Raiders have done all year. Maybe for the past couple of years. It’s become pretty pathetic when the best hit the Raiders can boat of is when their own coach punches an assistant.

How could such a storied franchise like the “Just Win Baby” Raiders have fallen so far?

Michael David Barrett Arrested at O’Hare airport in Connection with Taping Nude Videos of ESPN Reporter Erin Andrews

Michael David Barrett was arrested Friday night at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and is accused of taping nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews. Barrett, the 48 year old man from Westmont, Illinois is to appear in federal court on Saturday and is facing federal charges of  interstate stalking for taking the videos, trying to sell them to celebrity Web site TMZ and posting the videos online. Seven of the eight videos posted online were taken through a modified door peephole while the 31 year old, ESPN reporter, Andrews was alone and undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, TN.  

FBI agents said they believe Barrett called many hotels to find out where Andrews was staying and requested a hotel room next to hers. Investigators said the eighth video was likely taken at another hotel, which Andrews couldn’t identify. Agents said Barrett, 48, also made reservations at a Milwaukee hotel where she stayed in July 2008. They found her door’s peephole similarly rigged, but he didn’t check in at that hotel and the furniture in the room did not match furniture seen on the eighth video. Barrett tried to sell the videos to TMZ, but an employee there informed Andrews’ attorneys, according to the complaint. FBI agents matched information in the e-mail to Barrett, and also examined telephone records and credit card charges from Barrett’s Nashville hotel stay. Agents also concluded that the videos of Andrews were likely recorded from a cell phone camera.

Criminal complaint filed late Friday against Michael David Barrett, aka Mark Bennett.
