DEVIANT

Serial killers aren't created in a vacuum, and that goes for Anthony Sowell too. Everything about his life, up until the time police discovered the bodies of 11 women in and around his Cleveland home, was a series of warning signs. His childhood, his earlier crimes...everything. In this episode of DEVIANT, we learn the Sowell's origin story, and how he came to be.
