CLEVELAND -- Cleveland police said a third victim has been identified among the 11 bodies found at an Imperial Avenue home.

Police said Tishana Culver, 31, was identified Thursday by the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office. Culver, who also lived on Imperial Avenue, was not reported as a missing person, police said.

Culver's family, who lives on Imperial Avenue just a few houses away from the Sowell house, said they hadn't talked to her in almost a year.

They said they didn't file a missing persons report because they thought Culver was staying with her boyfriend in Akron.

Culver was the mother to four children. The children live with their grandparents on Imperial Avenue.

DNA was not used to identify Culver.

Earlier on Thursday a second victim was identified. Telacia Fortson, 31, of East Cleveland, was the mother of three young children and had been missing since May 31.

Her family said they initially filed a missing persons report with East Cleveland police during the summer and then contacted Cleveland's 4th District on Sunday.

Her family said Fortson's body was one of two bodies found on the upper floor of Anthony Sowell's Imperial Avenue home.

NewsChannel5's Joe Pagonakis was with Fortson's family earlier on Thursday as they went to the coroner's office to give a DNA sample from Fortson's 6-year-old son.

Police said thus far only six families with missing loved ones have given DNA samples to help identify the bodies.

Police said families can also bring in dental records if they don't want to give DNA samples, but stressed that any DNA taken will not be shared with other police agencies and will be kept with the coroner's office only.

All 11 of the victims are African American women. The first victim to be identified was 52-year-old Tonia Carmichael, of Warrensville Heights.

Coroner Dr. Frank Miller said that seven of the women, all of whom died from strangulation, still had what was used to strangle them attached to their necks. He said one of the victims was killed manually, and two others died from "homicidal violence."

Miller said the slayings have likely been going on since Sowell was released from prison in 2005, meaning some of the victims could have been in the home for years.

A Cleveland police officer will be assigned to the Coroner's Office to work with investigators to determine the identity of remaining victims.

Miller is asking relatives of any missing individuals in the area to submit DNA samples to the coroner's officer so they can use their DNA database to help identify other victims.

Police said they will get DNA from Sowell to be entered into the national CODIS database.

Sowell's DNA will be compared against known suspect DNA profiles to determine whether he is a suspect in any other criminal matter.

Sowell, 50, was charged with five counts of aggravated murder as well as rape, felonious assault and kidnapping. He was not granted bond during a court arraignment Wednesday morning.
