The twisted former marine lured 11 women to his grotty apartment in his drug ridden Cleveland neighborhood with the promise of booze or crack cocaine.
Then he stuck, brutally beating them or throttling them to death, in a vicious crack cocaine fueled rage.
Calling no witnesses, he barely offered any explanation for his brutality, other than the nightmares brought on by the deadly drug -all of which involved him hurting women.
When he woke up they were gone.
He will now face the death penalty for the slayings after being convicted of multiple counts of aggravated murder and a number of other offenses.
Interviewed by cops he told them: "Reminded me of my girl, that’s the best I can tell you. It was like everything’s cool, she was spending the night or something."
But when he woke up he thought: "'Damn, where’d you go?’”
He also told detectives Sowell when if the women told him they had children at home while they were smoking crack.
He said: “One thing that always made me mad was they had kids. That’s a big thing in my head.”
Prosecutors say Sowell began running out of room in his backyard after he buried the bodies of four women there.
That’s when he began leaving them to rot on the third floor of his home.
"I'm glad justice has been done," said Audrey Webb, sister of victim Janice Webb told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"I'm glad it's over and he is getting what he deserves."
