Investigators Still Combing Through Cleveland House of Horrors

Nov. 16, 2009 — -- A rape-crisis telephone line has been set up in Cleveland to field calls from any other potential victims of alleged serial killer Anthony Sowell.

The Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, which launched the line at 9 a.m. this morning, said it has answered several phone calls on the confidential hotline.

The crisis center's move comes on the heels of Sowell's not guilty plea Friday to a woman's alleged rape that officials were investigating when they happened upon several dead bodies in his three-story, Cleveland home.

Sowell is facing five counts of aggravated murder, stemming from the bodies later found in his home. He has yet to enter a plea for those charges.

Meanwhile, an entomologist was called to the crime scene last week to study the maggots found on the bodies discovered in Sowell's home.

Joe Keiper of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History told ABCNews.com that he was asked by the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office to inspect the blow fly larvae feeding on the corpses found at Sowell's home in hopes of establishing a time frame for the deaths.

"Depending on the type and number of insects on a body, I might be able to get an estimate on the postmortem interval, or the time passed between death and body discovery," said Keiper, adding that he is one of only 20 U.S. forensic entomologists.

Keiper, who called Sowell's home "infested," said that it could take him weeks to determine when the victims died.

Funerals also took place this weekend for several of the victims of the alleged serial killer, while investigators continue to work to identify the remaining bodies and search for more in nearby homes.

FBI agents used thermal imaging and sfited through dirt on Sowell's property and the one next door in search of any other victims.

All but one of the 11 female victims found dead in and around Sowell's house have been identified.

Cleveland authorities released the identity of the 10th victim Wednesday night, which was complicated because only her skull was found -- in a bucket in Sowell's basement.

Leshanda Long, 25, had been missing since August 2008, authorities said, but had never been reported as a missing person.

Sowell, who was ordered last week by a Cleveland judge to be held without bond, was on suicide watch and was described by a prosecutor as an "incredibly dangerous threat to the public."
