UPDATE: Third murder victim identified in Cleveland "house of horrors"

Posted: Updated:

A third murder victim has been identified, as Cleveland, Ohio police continue to look for more bodies at the home of a convicted sex offender.

Late Thursday (11/5), police said 31-year-old, Tishana Culver's identity had been confirmed through a DNA match.

Her mother, Yvonne Williams-McNeil, said she hadn't reported her daughter missing because she thought Culver was living with her boyfriend in Akron, Ohio.

She hadn't heard from her daughter since last year.

"And I was just thinking, Lord, just pray for the families.  I'm hoping it wasn't my daughter.  And then one of the detectives came by and, um, just told us," said Williams-McNeil.

Culver has four children, between the ages of 2 and 16 years of age.

The suspect, Anthony Sowell, remains in jail without bail.

So far, authorities have found 11 bodies either inside Sowell's home or in his backyard.
