CHAPTER 10

I’m sorry. I thought you were my daughter. She’s been missing for a while.

—ADLEAN ATTERBERRY

When the penal system turned him loose in 2005, the state authorities had determined that Anthony Sowell had a minimal possibility of reoffending.

There are mounds of paper amid mountains of studies on recidivism for sexual offenders. Some people believe that if there is even the remotest chance of again committing a deviant crime, why let them out at all?

Sowell was released under Megan’s Law, which merely required an annual reporting by Sowell to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, which he did. A deputy from the office stopped by the house periodically to verify that Sowell was still there.

He was not on parole or probation, but he was fully registered as a sex offender at his address. The system of registration is managed by the county sheriff’s office. Not the Cleveland Police Department, which investigated Gladys Wade’s allegations. And just because Wade talked with the city police department’s sex crimes unit didn’t mean that they would confer with the sheriff’s office.

And Sowell was not creating big problems for the cops in his neighborhood in the early part of 2009, even though the sex crimes unit had obviously been aware of some street chatter; after all, a Cleveland Police Department detective mentioned it to Wade as she interviewed her.
