CLEVELAND -- The remains of as many as six people may have been found at the home of a registered sex offender wanted on rape charges, police say.

A spokesperson for the Cleveland Police Department says officers went to the home with a search warrant for 50-year-old Anthony Sowell.

Sowell is wanted in connection for an alleged attack on a woman in his home in September.

Police say when they went inside the home Thursday, they discovered two bodies on the third floor and in advanced stages of decomposition.

A third body was discovered Friday afternoon in a shallow grave in the basement of the home.

Sowell remains at large.

He is 6 feet tall and 155 pounds. He wears eyeglasses and frequently wears a mustache.

Police say Sowell does not drive a car and is known to collect and cash in scrap metal.

Anyone with information on Sowell's whereabouts is asked to contact US Marshals Service Fugitive hotline at 1-866-4-WANTED.

(CNN) -- Police arrested a 50-year-old convicted rapist suspected in the killings of six people whose bodies were found this week in and around a house in Cleveland, Ohio.

"Anthony Sowell was arrested walking down the street near the 4th District Police headquarters at noon," Cleveland Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho told CNN. "A tipster told officers of his whereabouts and a zone car found him and arrested him without incident."

The case began unfolding a month ago, when a woman accused Sowell of rape and felonious assault, Stacho said.

"Once we were able to get the cooperation of the victim, we secured an arrest warrant for Mr. Sowell and subsequently a search warrant for his premises," Stacho said.

On Thursday, detectives from the department's sex crimes unit and members of its SWAT team went to Sowell's home to execute the warrant and make an arrest, but he was nowhere to be found, Stacho said.

What they did find were the badly decomposed remains of two bodies on the third floor of the house, which is owned by an elderly relative of Sowell who does not live there, Stacho said.

A subsequent search on Thursday revealed what appeared to be a freshly dug grave under the stairs in the basement, he said.

On Friday, investigators returned to the house, dug up the grave and found a third body, he said.

A further search of the house and property found two more bodies in a crawl space, and a sixth body was found in a shallow grave outside the home, Stacho said.

None of the bodies has been identified, and the genders of only two -- those found on the third floor -- have been determined, he said. Both were female.

"He apparently is a serial rapist," Stacho said about Sowell, who he said makes his living as a "scrapper."

"He walks around and picks up scrap metal and takes it to junk yards to make a few pennies."

Sowell was convicted of a 1989 rape for which he was imprisoned from 1990 to 2005, Stacho said.

Authorities plan to continue their search of the house on Saturday

i never understood why people leave corpses buried in their houses. its like, you think you gon die there but you really aint.

id understand if you were on a farm.

i was thinking about that last night. like where would i put a body in my house? i need a crawlspace.

heres what you do.
drive down to the 905 east/west, kick the body out of your passenger seat going 75mph, merge on the I-5 and go as far north as you can

lol

dont worry, no one gives a fuck this close to mexico and theyll just call it a drug related murder

after reviewing the photo, I believe this man could very well be just a really really dirty white guy.


Rape and living with dead bodies is certainly on some WPS.

If there was a racial draft, white people would just kind of have to take him by default: "yeah, he's one of ours:mad:"

Black people didn't learn about rape until whites scooped them outta Africa and made them into slaves.
