Authorities on Friday released the name of a fourth victim found last week in or around the home of registered sex offender.

The family of Nancy Cobbs, 43, reported her missing to the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority police in April, but did not file a report with Cleveland police until Monday, according to the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office.

Anthony Sowell, who in 1990 pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted rape and served 15 years in prison, was arrested Saturday, two days after police discovered the first bodies at his home. He faces five counts of aggravated murder, rape, felonious assault and kidnapping, police said, and was denied bond at a hearing Wednesday.

Police have discovered the bodies of 10 people and skull of an 11th victim. Remains of six of the victims were found inside the home and five outside, police said. The skull was wrapped in a paper bag and stuffed into a bucket in the basement, police said.

Previously, the coroner's office said it had identified the bodies of Tonia Carmichael, 52; Telacia Fortson, 31; and Tishana Culver, 31.

Police initially went to Sowell's home last week to follow up on a rape accusation. Last month, neighbors reported seeing a naked woman fall from the second floor, but no charges were filed.

He probably thought he didn't want to go back to jail so killing them was a sure thing to stop them from talking.

Elven kills in under 4 years, kind of hard not to notice and yet they only discovered this guy by accident.

Alleged Ohio serial killer rare among mass killers

CLEVELAND – Authorities say Anthony Sowell lured women into his home in a busy neighborhood, killed them — most by strangulation — and scattered their remains throughout the inside and buried some in the backyard.

Such brazenness defies logic, but experts identify a narrow subcategory of serial killers, including the 1893 Chicago Fair killer, Dr. H.H. Holmes, and Milwaukee cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, who hunt from home.

"These types are so rare that you can't make a summary estimation as to why or what went wrong or anything," said Robert Keppel, a national serial-killer expert who investigated serial killer Ted Bundy in Washington state in the 1970s.

"There's just not a whole lot of these folks running around the world," he said.

Sowell had the perfect lair.

His home and backyard — a burial site for five victims — were shielded by an empty home to the left and the windowless brick wall of a sausage company on the right.

Anytime the stench of decaying bodies blew over the street, neighbors blamed the meat processing next door.

His house stood out only because it was one of the nicest on a block dotted by homes with peeling paint and broken windows, some of them vacant.

It looked safe.

Sowell often sat on the front steps, sipping beer out of a bottle and greeting residents passing by on their way to the corner store that was just steps away for alcohol, snacks and cigarettes.

Neighbors say he'd offer a few the chance to get high.

Sowell's alleged approach reflects an obvious point, said forensic psychologist N.G. Berrill: the potential role of mental illness in such unusual behavior.

"The fact that they would dirty their own nest, as it were, is peculiar to me and suggests a level of mental illness or sickness," said Berrill, director of the New York Center for Neuropsychology and Forensic behavioral Science.

With todays high tech stuff one would figure such crimes cannot happen. Shows you how wrong we can be. Such crimes can occur especially if the neighbors don't try to know what is going on in their neighborhood. Or worse refuse to accept the fact such crimes can and do occur.

We are having an increase in gang drive-bys and our authorities at every level have their hands tied because of cut backs. Last year an eight year old boy was shot in the head and died; the shot went through the exterior wall of his bedroom.

There were 7 witnesses who gave police everything they needed for arrests; which occured less than 36 hours after the boys death. Come time for the trial and every witness changed their story to the extent the gang bangers were freed!! The murderers marched in triumph right down the center of the street where the boy had lived flashing gang signs.

There are two choices: don't ask, don't care or don't see, never know.

We continue to do both.
