Anthony Sowell case expands worldwide

The Anthony Sowell case expands worldwide as investigators compare Anthony Sowell’s MO (Modus Operandi) to other areas where the alleged serial killer lived. Anthony Sowell was born on August 19, 195 and grew up in East Cleveland. On January 24, 1978 he enlisted in the Marine Corp and served eight years until his discharge on January 18, 1985. The question as to whether or not Anthony Sowell began his sexual deviant exploits and brutal attacks of violence before his arrest and sentencing in 1990 must be addressed. Anthony Sowell’s first known victims and attacks occurred in 1989. Since the revelation of Anthony Sowell’s house of horrors and his victims, women have been coming forward stating that they were also victims of Anthony Sowell.

In addition to other Cleveland, Ohio unsolved rape and murder cases, investigators are looking for connections between Anthony Sowell and unsolved crimes in Japan, California and North Carolina. Yesterday, the Plain Dealer reported that police in North Carolina are reviewing their cold cases for a possible connection between Sowell and victims in their state. Anthony Sowell spent more than four years stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

Yesterday, two more victims were identified, bringing the number of identified victims to 9. Anthony Sowell was also indicted on Monday for charges of felonious assault, attempted murder, kidnapping to engage in a sex act and rape. The indictment was for the prior rape assault and is in addition to the five counts of rape and aggravated murder charges that Sowell is also facing. It is expected that more charges will follow as the investigation unfolds.

The list of Anthony Sowell’s victims is as follows:

1. Tonia Carmichael

2. Telacia Fortson

3. Tishana Culver

4. Nancy Cobbs

5. Amelda Hunter

6. Chrystal Dozier

7. Michele Mason

8. Janice Webb
