A search for evidence and possibly more bodies will continue Wednesday at the Cleveland home of a murder suspect.

That's after authorities reported recovering four more bodies and a skull Tuesday. Six other bodies were found last week at the house where convicted rapist Anthony Sowell had been living.

A spokesman for the Cuyahoga County coroner says the 10 bodies may have been there from weeks to months to years. Police don't know yet whether the skull belongs to an 11th victim.

Community leaders are calling for an investigation into whether police and health inspectors missed signs -- including reports of foul smells -- that could have tipped them off to the bodies.

Sowell has been charged with five counts of aggravated murder, as well as rape, felonious assault and kidnapping. He's due to be arraigned Wednesday.
