Police in Cleveland expect to find more murder victims in addition to the three victims that police have already located.
The police have not said why they are looking for more victims.
Police received a tip on Friday regarding a bad odor coming from a house. That tip led police to the first body, located in the garage. They also located the suspect.
Three dozen volunteers helped police to search for possible victims this morning.
"They are concerned because it could have been one of their family members," Pam Butcher told the Associated Press. "It could have been one of their kids. It could have been one of their nieces. It could have been one of their aunts."
Michael Madison, a 35-year-old sex offender, is a suspect in the murders. Police arrested him after a standoff on Friday. He has not been charged.
"He said some things that led us to believe that in some way, shape, or form, [serial killer Anthony] Sowell might be an influence," East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton told the Associated Press. Sowell was convicted of 11 murders and sentenced to death in 2011.
Police found two more victims at an abandoned house Saturday evening. One victim was found in the back yard, and the other was found in the basement.
The victims have not been identified.
The first woman was five feet three and weighs 110 pounds. The second woman found has a tattoo of a pink flower with green leaves on her left thigh. The third woman found was wearing a purple top with a leopard pattern.
"I don't know if there are any more bodies out there," Mayor Gary Norton told local news Cleveland.com . "It is all tying back to the same guy.”
