Anthony Sowell: The Cleveland Strangler Begins – Part 1

The Cleveland Strangler: Anthony Sowell

In this episode, Three Voices One Crime uncovers the chilling story of Anthony Sowell — a convicted serial killer whose crimes went unnoticed for years on the east side of Cleveland. Between 2007 and 2009, women vanished from the neighborhood surrounding Sowell’s Imperial Avenue home, while police missed multiple opportunities to intervene. When the truth finally emerged, authorities discovered nearly a dozen bodies hidden inside the house, revealing one of the most devastating investigative failures in Ohio history.

This episode explores Sowell’s early life, the escalation of his violence, the systemic breakdowns that allowed him to continue killing, the survivors who tried to warn police, and the intense community outrage that followed. Through timelines, public records, and contemporary reporting, we reconstruct the investigation from the first signs of danger to Sowell’s conviction and death.
