Ohio Bodies: Suspect 'Fascinated' By Killer

Police investigating the discovery of three bodies wrapped in plastic bags in Ohio say there could be one or two more victims yet to be found in the case.

Convicted sex offender Michael Madison remains in custody after being questioned in relation to the bodies. The 35-year-old is set to be formally charged later on Monday.

Police Chief Ralph Spotts told volunteers checking around 40 vacant houses for further victims to be alert for smells of rotting during their searches.

He added Mr Madison had not been very specific on whether there could be more victims.

"He really hasn't stated that there's any more, but he hasn't said anything that would make us think that there's not," Chief Spotts said.

During police interviews, Mr Madison also led investigators to believe he had a fascination with the serial killer Anthony Sowell.

"He said some things that led us to believe that in some way, shape, or form, Sowell might be an influence," said East Cleveland mayor Gary Norton.

Sowell is currently in prison awaiting the death penalty for murdering 11 women before hiding their remains around his Cleveland home.

Identified in press reports as the Cleveland Strangler, he has appealed for his sentence to be commuted to life in prison on the basis he did not receive a fair trial.

Police and volunteers spent most of Sunday searching at and around the property where the bodies of the three black females were discovered 150 metres apart. But no other remains were found.

The first body was located on Friday in a garage and two other bodies were found on Saturday - one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house.

All three are believed to have been killed in the last six to 10 days.

Mr Madison was classified as a sex offender in 2002 when he was sentenced to four years in prison for attempted rape, according to Cuyahoga County court records. He had previous convictions in 2000 and 2001 for drug-related charges.

One neighbour, Nathenia Crosby, said she was familiar with the suspect and had seen him walking through the local area, She said she had told him to stop chatting with her 19-year-old daughter.

"When I found out how old he was, I said, 'You need to move on, she's too young,'" she added.
