CLEVELAND -
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson has appointed a commission to review police policies for handling sexual assault and missing-person reports.
Some relatives of the 11 women whose remains turned up at the home of registered sex offender Anthony Sowell complained about police handling of missing-person reports. Police say some victims were never reported missing.
The commission does not plan to look into the Sowell case.
Sowell has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of the women. Yesterday, he agreed to let police fence off his house with barbed wire to preserve evidence. He also waived his right to a speedy trial to accommodate his new defense team.
