The suspect in a gruesome mass killing in Cleveland, Ohio may be responsible for the attack on a woman in San Diego. Authorities think a woman may have been raped in San Diego years ago by the convicted rapist at the center of a mass killing in Cleveland. Ten bodies have been found at the Cleveland home of Anthony Sowell. A Cleveland woman who recognized his photo on television called the Coronado Police Department and said she was raped in Coronado in 1979 by Sowell. Sowell joined the Marine Corps at age 18 in 1978 and was stationed in San Diego for some of the eight years he was in the Marines.
