SLIDESHOW:  Images From Scene

About 100 people stood Monday night in front of the home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell. Many in the emotional crowd held photos of loved ones whose whereabouts are unknown and who could possibly be identified by the coroner.

The Cuyahoga County Coroner is using dental records or DNA mouth-swab samples from relatives to identify the decomposed bodies. The process could take weeks.

Authorities say at least five of the dead women were strangled.

Fifty-year-old Sowell was arrested Saturday but has not been charged in connection with the bodies.
