CLEVELAND -- Cleveland police returned to the scene of the Imperial Avenue slayings on Wednesday to continue their search for more evidence.Police said that investigators were back at the scene digging at 8 a.m.Police are resuming the search based on information the FBI collected. Last week, FBI technicians used thermal imaging and ground-penetrating radar to search Anthony Sowell's property and the property next door, marking several spots where police should look.Cleveland police will be joined by the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s Office, the FBI and the city of Cleveland’s Department of Building and Housing in conducting the searches. The searches will consist of a hand dig of suspect areas identified.Sowell has been charged with five counts of aggravated murder after the remains of 11 women were found on his property.The coroner's office has identified 10 of the victims, but investigators only have the skull of the last person identified. They still haven't found the body of 25-year-old Leshanda Long.That has the community wondering if there are more bodies to be discovered.
