Bodies of 3 Women Found Scattered Around Neighborhood In Plastic Bags Investigators in a Cleveland suburb have reason to believe they will find more victims after the recent discovery of three bodies wrapped in garbage bags, officials said Sunday. “We’ve got to be as thorough as we can be,” East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts told volunteers gathered to search through vacant houses to look for more bodies. “There may be one or two more victims,” he said. Police arrested a suspect on Friday, hours after investigators found a woman’s body in a garage. Two more bodies were discovered Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. All the bodies were wrapped in garbage bags. On Sunday, volunteers broke into teams of eight to check abandon homes near where the victims were found. Spotts and East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton told the volunteers to be on alert for foul smells and to stay together when searching through the dark structures. If any of the volunteers found anything suspicious, they were told to contact authorities immediately. “It might not look like it’s a body, but it could be. Because the way he had each body was in the fetal position,” Spotts told the group. “It didn’t look like a person could fit in the bag.” Norton also told the Associated Press that there were reasons to suspect more bodies would be found, but declined to elaborate on why. “The person in custody, some of the things he said to investigators made us go back today,” the mayor told the AP. No identities were released, but all three victims were believed to have been killed in the past six to 10 days. The bodies were found about 100 to 200 yards apart. liveleak/view?i=585_1374423099
