CLEVELAND -
Investigators with the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office returned to the home of accused serial killer Anthony Sowell on Thursday.
They, along with Cleveland Police detectives, used high-tech digital equipment in their search for more bodies and evidence.
Deputy Chief Ed Tomba says "I don't know if we're going to find more bodies, but we didn't think we would find more when we first started in the back yard. And if we see any reason why we think we should take down a wall, take out a floor board, that's what we're going to do."
Late Thursday, police identified one of the eleven victims found in Sowell's home as 31-year-old Tishana Culver.
She lived just a few houses away from Sowell, and her family had not heard from her in the past year.
Her mother, Yvonne Williams-McNeill says "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 just told us."
Tishana Culver had never been reported missing by her family, because they assumed she was living with her boyfriend in Akron.
Her uncle, Kahlil Martin, says "no one deserves to die, the way she did, we glad that they caught him, that no one else has to go through this."
Ironically, one of Tishana Culver's relatives came face to face with Anthony Sowell in a neighborhood carry-out after Tishana didappeared.
Her uncle told Fox 8, "she said she felt very uncomfortable with him and that he just gave her the creeps and she said she just you know laughed and got away from him as soon as possible and then she saw his face on the news."
Also on Thursday, the family of 31-year-old Telacia Fortson was notified that she is one of the eleven victims.
Fortson vanished in May, leaving her three young children without their mother.
Her mother, Inez Fortson says "it's just that she's got these three babies, they've got to know, I told the oldest one, he just cried all over me."
While the families of the first three victims identified grieve their loss, the relatives of other missing women, like Gloria Walker, are wracked with uncertainty.
Walker's mother, Sandy Drain, says "it's closure for the family if she's one of them, we'll keep on going if she's not."
