Police seek information on dead women

CLEVELAND, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Photographs and biographical information of missing women in Cleveland could help identify six bodies found in a duplex, police said.

The pictures and information were provided Sunday by four families who feared their loved ones were among the dead found in the home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.

Hair from brushes and dental records could also prove helpful in identifying the women, police Lt. Thomas Stacho said.

Sowell, 50, was arrested Saturday and was being held, but had not been charged with killing the six women, whose decaying bodies were found in the home he shared with his mother, police said.

Five of the women were strangled and the sixth died from unknown causes, police said.

Sowell was released from prison in 2005 after serving 15 years for raping a woman in East Cleveland.
