CLEVELAND (AP) — The coroner's office in Cleveland says six bodies found in the home of a rape suspect were all females and all were homicide victims. At least four apparently had been strangled.

Spokesman Powell Caesar with the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County coroner's office said Sunday that none of the victims has been identified. Decomposition made it difficult to determine how two victims died.

Cleveland police asked again Sunday for help identifying missing people who may have been victims.

A convicted rapist wanted on a new rape allegation, 50-year-old Anthony Sowell of Cleveland, has been arrested on a warrant. No charges have been filed.
