      You're absolutely right! It's obvious that those women were under the influence when they met him bc they would have noticed right off and been so offended that they would have distanced themselves for miles and miles. What really gets me about his mindset after he killed these women was how could he eat, drink, sit up in that house with decomposing bodies in it??? The average person wouldn't be able to hold his or her guts in for puking 🤮 them out 😷. I'm truly baffled. But when you think about it and the fact that he kept getting off on killing those women then he even decapitated one and put her head in a bucket 🪣. So very sick and disturbing..but ALL MARINES ARE NOT ALL THERE! THEY ARE UNDER SOME STRONG DEMONIC FORCES..MIND CONTROLLED. AND ITS NOT ONLY MARINES.

My homegirl actually turned him down when he tried to pick her up at the bar (she don't do drugs) She said that he was beyond pissed and kept trying to get her to go to his house until her cousin showed up. And not to be funny, but he could have never gotten with her, definitely out of his league! Her cousin is every bit of 6'4 weighing 240. Sowell walked away because just looking at my homegirls cousin would scare anyone 😅

    Ain’t no way Crystal was his first murder when he told the woman that got him put away in 89 that he was going to kill her and 3 women that lived on that same street was found dead before that arrest.

    Y’all giving him to much credit the police were just lazy he was targeting ppl in the area because he was jobless and literally couldn’t afford to drive nor fly anywhere else to get a victim all his victims is from ec he didn’t pick those women because he knew the police wouldn’t care he picked them because they were easy access how many healthy minded women who aren’t off crack gonna go with a strange man to his place to do drugs or at least drink

      The bodies were decomposed already... Some ppl really don't have pictures of themselves. If phones didn't start having cameras; my brother, Scooby, would still have no photos. We never got our pictures taken as kids, and I didn't start until years into gang banging when a homie said it was a personal practice his maybe short life. Sad, but they could've used no photo
