Police in the American rust belt town of East Cleveland, Ohio are searching for more victims, after finding the bodies of three women's bodies, wrapped in plastic, and left a run-down neighborhood.

Police already arrested 35-year old registered sex offender Michael Madison after the discoveries near the apartment where he lives. The bodies, two of which were found by trained cadaver-smelling dogs, were located in a garage, the basement of a building.

East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton said the suspect indicated he was influenced by local serial killer Anthony Sowell, who was sentenced to death for killing 11 women.  The remains in that earlier case were located in a similar manner.

Cadaver dogs are being brought in to search as many as 60 abandoned buildings in the area.

The Cleveland area was at the center of another gruesome case in May when three women who vanished separately more than a decade ago were discovered alive in a house some 10 miles away from the latest incident.
