CLEVELAND --(FOX NEWS) Police in Cleveland say officers who went to a home looking for a rape suspect found two decomposing bodies upstairs and what appeared to be a freshly dug grave in the basement.
Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho says detectives with a search warrant made the discoveries Thursday at a duplex house on the city's east side. He says the bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition, suggesting they'd been in the home a long time.
Autopsies were done Friday but the decomposition meant it would take a while to determine the age, gender, race and identity of the bodies and how they died.
The home belonged to 50-year-old Anthony Sowell.
Sowell is wanted on charges of felonious assault and rape. Police say he had spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape.
