Anthony Sowell funerals held for two victims
This past weekend, two victims of alleged serial killer Anthony Sowell were laid to rest. Funerals were held for Nancy Cobbs and Michelle Mason, the fourth and seventh of Anthony Sowell’s 11 victims to be identified. The funeral for Nancy Cobbs was held at the House of Wills Funeral Home. Nancy Cobbs was reported missing in June of 2009.
Michelle Mason’s funeral was held at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. She was reported missing in October of 2008. The horrific murders have stunned a nation and left a community running on empty. The search for additional victims continues as authorities have moved their investigation to an abandoned house next door to the home of Anthony Sowell.
Nancy Cobbs was a grandmother of five children and a mother of three: Audrey Williams, Kyana Hunt, and William L. Hunt III. The three leaned on each other for emotional support during the service that was filled with grief and mourning.
Michelle Mason’s mother, Adlean Atterberry was comforted by those who came to show their sorrow and support. Previously, Adlean Atterberry was reported as saying that she believed Anthony Sowell had removed fliers that she had placed in the neighborhood when Michelle went missing. Michelle Mason was cremated as reports said that her body had been too decomposed for a burial.
At the end of Michelle Mason’s funeral service, mourners released balloons into the wind in memory of Michelle.
There have been ten victims identified in the Anthony Sowell murder case. They are as follows:
Tonia Carmichael, 52
Nancy Cobbs, 45
Tishana Culver, 31
Crystal Dozier, 38
Telacia Fortson, 31
Amelda Hunter, 47
Michelle Mason, 45
Kim Yvette Smith, 44
Janice Webb, 49
