Between 2007 and 2009, Anthony Sowell (sa-well) murdered 11 black women luring them to his house with the promise of drugs and alcohol. After Anthony rapped his victims, he would then manually strangle them to death, earning him the nickname “The Cleveland Strangler.” For two years Anthony was able to go unnoticed by authorities as he hid his victims who either had mental health issues or were drug addicts by burying them around his property Anthony a former U.S. Marine was a convicted sex offender who served 15 years in prison for kidnapping, rape, and attempted rape of a 21-year-old woman he had lured into his bedroom in 1989. He had begun his sinister fetishes at an early age raping his 10-year-old niece when he was 11. In October of 2009 Cleveland, Ohio police went to Anthony’s home looking to arrest him on new charges of rape and felony assault, but he wasn’t home. Instead, officers found two decomposing bodies upstairs and what appeared to be a freshly dug grave in the basement. Anthony was arrested on Oct. 31, 2009, and later would be sentenced to death. So, was this a sinister mind born to be a killer or had other circumstances created his sinister behavior.
