Authorities search abandoned Cleveland school near Anthony Sowell’s house
Cleveland police and fire investigators converged on the old Lafayette Elementary School shortly after noon today. The property is about two blocks away from Anthony Sowell’s house on Imperial Avenue.
Officers led at least two dogs into the property with the assistance of the Ohio Search Dog Association.
The school closed in 1995 and the fenced-in property is overgrown with weeds. The building is boarded up but the front door was partially open when officers arrived today.
Officials said they would bring cadaver dogs to the school and possibly back to Sowell’s house today.
Sowell has been charged with five counts of aggravated murder. Ten bodies and a head were recovered from his property late last month. Police suspect he is a serial killer who lured women to his house with drugs and alcohol, then strangled them.
