Twice neighbours had called police and twice police did not take them seriously.
Looks like Cleveland is the place to be if you wish to get away with depraved criminal acts.
One neighbour says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another neighbour says he heard pounding on the doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows.
Police showed up at the house both times, the neighbours say, but never went inside.
Now, after three women who vanished separately about a decade ago were rescued from the peeling, rundown house Monday in a discovery that exhilarated and astonished the city, Cleveland police are facing questions about their handling of the case and are conducting an internal review to see if they overlooked anything.
