What authorities in Cleveland knew was bad enough.
The remains of 11 women were discovered at the home of Anthony Sowell, 51, who was charged with the serial killings two years ago.
But investigators wanted to make sure there weren't other victims, so the Cuyahoga County Prosecutors office formed a cold case squad to look at old murder cases in the poor Cleveland community.
What they found rocked the entire Northeast Ohio region.
It appears that a second second killer was preying on women in the mostly black and poor eastside of Cleveland.
Joseph Harwell, 50, (pictured at the top) was indicted this week on multiple counts of aggravated murder, rape and kidnapping in the deaths of Mary Thomas, 27, (Mary Ann Prater) and Tondilear Harge, 33.
Harwell is currently serving 15 years to life in prison for killing Teresa Vinson in Columbus in 1997.
Though Harwell had been eligible for parole next year (is that scary or what?), he can likely forget ever seeing the streets again.
