CLEVELAND (AP) -- A makeshift memorial that includes a stuffed animals and sign stenciled with the word MISSING has appeared in a Cleveland neighborhood where investigators found 11 bodies in one house.

Police had said they would begin tearing apart interior walls in search of more evidence or bodies, but there were no signs Thursday morning that the work had begun.

Several pastors and a city councilman are holding a prayer rally at a local Baptist church. They say they want to console the families of the missing.

Someone has hung the sign on a chain link fence near the home of 50-year-old Anthony Sowell. The sign is decorated with five stuffed animals and a rose and holds fliers showing 13 missing women and men.

Sowell served 15 years in prison for attempted rape and is being held without bond on five counts of aggravated murder.

I totally agree with you Kelsey. This is such a tragic situation. Im still in shock with the whole situation and even more in shock as to how he got away with this. Even looking at his pictures gives me the creeps,he is one scary empty looking dude. At least 11 people's family will have some closure but I have a feeling that this guy has killed more than that. I guess well see.

And THIS is why scum-bag rapists should NOT be let out of prison. They do it again. And again. And then they decide ruining lives isn't enough; they must TAKE them. I'm glad they finally caught the guy and that these victims can finally be laid to rest and their families can have the closure they've needed.
