Cleveland seeks survivors of 'house of horrors'

CLEVELAND – Now that most of the bodies found at the home of a suspected serial killer have been identified, Cleveland is turning attention to the living.

A nonprofit rape crisis center has set up a hot line in hopes of hearing from any women who survived encounters at the home of Anthony Sowell.

But shame, checkered backgrounds and mistrust might make it tricky to learn of more victims.

In Sowell's neighborhood, some people are saying that attitudes toward so-called "throwaway" street addicts must change to make them feel comfortable reporting a rape.

Sowell was charged with five counts of aggravated murder after 10 bodies and a skull turned up at his home beginning late last month.

He has pleaded not guilty to rape and other charges in an alleged attack in September.
