Episode Details

It is time to begin what will be iTF's many brushes with true crime. What makes these people so different than you and I? Is it brain chemistry, learned responses? Whatever it may be, we find them fascinating and disturbing. Sam Shearon, Ryan Sprague and I first discuss Sam's experiences playing Dracula. Then we chat about New York ComicCon, and a little about Ryan's play," East in Red". Shannon then interviews Author and Investigative Journalist Robert Sberna, who authored the book: House of Horrors, The Shocking True Story of Anthony Sowell The Cleveland Strangler. Robert spoke to the surviving victims, their families and even Anthony Sowell himself. Anthony was arrested in October 2009 as a suspect in the murders of eleven women whose bodies were discovered at his Cleveland, Ohio, duplex at 12205 Imperial Avenue in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. Sowell was even a decorated Marine, and during his seven-year Marine Corps career, Corporal Sowell received a Good Conduct Medal with one service star, a Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, a Certificate of Commendation, a Meritorious Mast, and two Letters of Appreciation.
