News

I hate to read the news each day. One has to wonder HOW we as a society can miss this crap right in our midst. This is why I live in the country, know my neighbors, call about things that don't seem right. I'm truly afraid we've become dis-involved in our world. The courts let this man out to carry on his reign of terror and heartbreak. I guess my point is, be involved in your world. As an alchoholic, we can seclude ourselves in our own little AL world. But there is evil, walking among us, and I am determined to be sober to protect my loved ones from it. Sorry for my rant, but I just can't read the news without this reaction. Please, look at your own little circle, and understand how important it is to be sober and ready to protect those we love.
TV: 2 more bodies removed from Ohio rapist's home

CLEVELAND (AP) ? A Cleveland television station reports that two more bodies have been removed from a convicted rapist's home where police last week recovered the bodies of six women.

WKYC-TV says the bodies were removed Tuesday after investigators excavated the yard of the home where 50-year-old Anthony Sowell lives. Two coroner's vans arrived shortly before the remains were removed.

Cleveland police Lt. Tom Stacho would not confirm that additional bodies had been recovered. He said more details would be provided at a 6 p.m. news conference.

A coroner's spokesman also could not confirm the report.

Sowell is in jail but hasn't been charged.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

CLEVELAND (AP) ? For the past few years, neighbors assumed the foul smell enveloping their street corner had been coming from a brick building where workers churned out sausage and head cheese.

It got so bad that the owners of Ray's Sausage replaced their sewer line and grease traps. Now they know the odor was coming from a three-story house next door where the decomposing bodies of six women were found.

A city councilman on Tuesday said he and other community leaders want an investigation into whether police and health inspectors missed any signs that could have tipped them off to the bodies inside the house where convicted rapist Anthony Sowell lived.

Councilman Zack Reed, whose mother lives a block from the area, said he called the city health department on more than one occasion.

"What happened from there, we don't know," he said. "It was no secret that there was a foul odor. We don't want to point fingers, but clearly something could have been done differently."

Police discovered the bodies Thursday after a woman reported being raped at Sowell's home. The 50-year-old Sowell is being held in jail on an arrest warrant, but he hasn't been charged in the rape investigation or in connection with the bodies. Cleveland police Chief Michael McGrath planned to give an update on the investigation Tuesday evening.

He is a registered sex offender and required to check in regularly at the sheriff's office. Officers didn't have the right to enter his house, but they would stop by to make sure he was there. Their most recent visit was Sept. 22, just hours before the woman reported being raped.

Reed said he can't imagine how police officers and sheriff's deputies could have missed the smell. His office records show that he called the health department in 2007 after a resident told him about an odor that "smelled like a dead body," he said.

One of the bodies was found in a shallow grave in the backyard. The rest were inside the house ? one in the basement, two in the third-floor living room and two in an upstairs crawl space, said police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho.

The bodies could have been there anywhere from weeks to months to years, said Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County coroner.

All the victims were women and five were strangled.

On Tuesday, detectives brought in cadaver dogs and digging equipment to scour the home and backyard, looking for evidence to connect Sowell to the bodies, Stacho said.

Authorities also were searching vacant homes within a few miles of the home, which sat in a crowded inner-city neighborhood of mostly older houses. Police did not say Tuesday why they were searching the vacant homes or indicate whether they believe more bodies could be found.

Neighbors are bracing for what could be inside a boarded-up home across the street and a shuttered school a block away.

"We hope they don't find anymore," said Renee Cash, whose family has operated the sausage company for 57 years.

About four years ago, she and other workers started noticing a smell that was so bad on some days that it forced them to leave their office.

"In the summertime, it was gross," Cash said. "You could always smell it. It smelled like something rotten."

They poured bleach down the sewer in the basement and eventually had it replaced. Health inspectors thought the meat processing was to blame, she said.

So as such I am trying to stay away from the comp at those times when i would usualy be drinking/playing. my boss has kindly changed my shift to mix my week up a bit (mon tues on wed thurs off fri sat on, then mon tues of wed thurs on fri sat off, rince and repeat)he nows about my plan and wants to help. which is nice in a plant with 350 workers. anyway the thing is i will probly only post from work for the time being and only when i get a chance. the computer is quite slow( takes me 45 seconds to junp from one page of posts to the next...lol).

thanx for the welcome.

Hi Aspy - glad we didn't scare you off. Your boss seems to be a top bloke in trying to help you. Don't know if you realise but you can set the number of posts per page to 40. With long threads like this one, it makes it a lot easier not to have to go to the next page after each 10 posts. Prevents mouse finger RSI. I'm only up to page 7.

Catch you when we can.

Oh - and another thing, Aspy - if you want to read what's gone on from when you last posted, an easy way to do that is to click on your own name and then 'find all posts by'. It'll show you the last time you posted on that thread and if you open that you'll be able to catch up on what's been happening since.

Sorry if I'm teaching you how to suck eggs but I think you said you were new to forums. Might just make it a bit easier when you're strapped for time.

aspman, can totally relate to what you say about drinking and computer games. I deleted a whole lot off my computer at one stage for the same reason, and it was really helpful in getting me out of some old habits.

That is a really thoughtful thing your boss did. I need to get one like yours (I'm self-employed ...... :H) Seriously, that has given me some new thoughts so thanks

But really was meant in the vein of encouragement although probably misguided...Mame, you've done months before - more than I've done - you'll get back there. This is probably one of the most stressful times in your life...I should remember that. I'm really not one to talk. :l
