Three bodies wrapped in plastic bags and believed to be female, were found in a house in Cleveland on Saturday.  

The suspect, as of yet unnamed, is known to be a 35-year-old sex offender. He has currently not been charged, but has indicated that he might have been influenced by serial killer Anthony Sowell, who is known for having strangled 11 women.

From NY Daily News:

“Authorities knocked on doors asking neighbors for any information that could help the case as they combed through yards near where the bodies were found Friday and Saturday in East Cleveland. They were also checking dilapidated houses in the area.

In the most recent case, one body was found Friday in a garage. Two others were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, believed to be female, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities believed the victims were killed in the last six to 10 days.”

The bodies were each found in the fetal position, wrapped in several layers of garbage bags. After investigating the suspect, according to the mayor, some of the things he said made the police go back and search the area again.

Various forces, the police, FBI, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department, all searched the entire area looking for clues or any other vital evidence that could reveal anything.
