CLEVELAND (AP) - A rapist who lived at a Cleveland house where 10 bodies have been found has been ordered held without bond.

Anthony Sowell appeared Wednesday before Municipal Court Judge
Ronald Adrine on five counts of aggravated murder.

The 50-year-old man looked straight ahead at the judge as a prosecutor asked that Sowell be held without bond and described him as an "incredibly dangerous threat to the public."

Sowell has been in jail since last week after police recovered the bodies of six women from his home.

Authorities dug up four more bodies on Tuesday and found a skull in the basement.

Police plan to resume a search of the house Wednesday and expand
their search of vacant homes in the neighborhood.
