Sowell fits the pattern of some past serial killers.

Having a serial killer hold on to his victims bodies is not new to Anthony Sowell.

Robert Yates the killer of at least eighteen women in the Spokane and Tacoma Washington areas apparently always kept at least one of his victims buried in his flower bed.

This type of killer most often practices Necrophilia, which is the sexual attraction to corpses. Necrophilia, a Greek word that means “love of the dead”.

 Ted Bundy, Robert Yates, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer were all serial killers that practiced necrophilia. Although necrophilia seems to be rare and uncommon in our society, it is a very common disorder within a serial killers profile.

It’s also a lot more prevalent than one would imagine. Frequently when funeral homes are broken into and bodies have been disturbed it goes unreported. The funeral homes are afraid people will not bring their loves there for fear they will be messed with. 

An expert on necrophilia writes that hospital morgues, cemeteries, funeral parlors have frequently been attacked by these sick individuals.
