Ohio Man Arrested After Bodies Found

(East Cleveland, Ohio) A 35-year-old local man, Michael Madison, faces charges for the alleged aggravated murder of three people.

Three bodies wrapped in garbage bags were found in East Cleveland. Madison faces three counts each of aggravated murder and kidnapping.

Authorities said they had identified only one of the victims, Angela Deskins, who was believed to be 38 years old. The other two bodies were too badly decomposed to identify. The medical examiner also said he couldn’t determine at this time a cause of death because of the bodies’ conditions.

Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson said fingerprints, dental records and DNA genetic material would be used to try to identify the other two victims. One had numerous tattoos, including the left thumb, left forearm, left thigh and left breast.[…]

The first body was found in a garage Friday. Two others were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, all women, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities say the victims were killed in the previous six to 10 days.

The charges read in court specified a wider time frame for the alleged crimes — days or months before the bodies were found.

Madison is behind bars with bail set at $6 million.
