Sowell, an Ohio man sentenced to death for killing 11 women and hiding their remains in and around his home has died in prison. AdCleveland police failed to connect the dots and realize that missing women, many addicted to drugs and living on the fringe of society, had been murdered by one individual, Reed said Tuesday. “We didn’t thoroughly investigate those missing women,” he said. May he rest in peace.”In 2014, ground was broken on a memorial at the site where Sowell's victims’ remains were found. The women claimed that a police detective mishandled the investigation of accusations against Sowell, allowing him to remain free and victimize more women.
