Summary In this episode, Vic discusses the case of Anthony Sowell, also known as the Cleveland Strangler, who was responsible for the murders of 11 women in Ohio. Vic expresses outrage at the treatment of the victims, who were often marginalized and ignored by society and the police. The episode provides details about Sowell's upbringing, his time in the Marines, his criminal activities, and the missed opportunities by law enforcement to catch him. The victims are remembered and their stories are shared. Sowell was eventually arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death, but he died in 2021 due to an unspecified terminal illness. Takeaways The case of Anthony Sowell, the Cleveland Strangler, highlights the marginalized and ignored victims of serial killers. Police negligence and societal indifference allowed Sowell to continue his crimes for an extended period of time. The victims, many of whom were drug users, were targeted because they were seen as disposable and unlikely to be believed by authorities. Sowell's arrest, conviction, and death sentence brought some justice to the victims and their families. The case underscores the need for improved support and protection for vulnerable individuals in society.
