Nobody's Women : The Crimes and Victims of Anthony Sowell, the Cleveland Serial Killer

In October 2009, Cleveland Police arrived at the home of Anthony Sowell, an ex-marine and registered sex offender, to arrest him on rape charges. Although Sowell could not be found, the police discovered the bodies of two women on the living room floor. A further search of the house revealed a total of 11 bodies. Sowell was apprehended and eventually sentenced to the death penalty. This horrific tale of brutal murder and savagery shocked America and drew the attention of the national media. Steve Miller interviewed Sowell in prison, attempting to find the answers.
