Grisly Discovery in Ohio; River Dancing World Record
CUOMO: Welcome back to NEW DAY, everybody. A series of gruesome discoveries outside Cleveland this weekend. The bodies of three women found wrapped in plastic. Police say a suspect is now in custody and is expected to be charged today. CNN's Anna Coren is in Cleveland with the very latest. Good morning, Anna.</s>ANNA COREN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Chris. As you can imagine, the small community of East Cleveland is very much in shock following the gruesome discovery of those three bodies of young African-American women. Now, we don't know their identities. Police are not giving us those details at this stage. But I can confirm that one of the bodies was found in the basement of one of the abandoned homes behind me. Now, this police search is going to continue today. They are using cadaver dogs. There is a genuine fear, Chris, that they could find more bodies.</s>COREN (voice-over): Police and cadaver dogs scour a chilling scene -- an area in East Cleveland, Ohio, where three bodies were found, all wrapped in layers of plastic and taped up. Neighbors are in disbelief.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was very, very upsetting.</s>COREN: And now, mounting evidence that there could be more women, more bodies, more tragedy.</s>GARY NORTON, EAST CLEVELAND MAYOR: I hope and pray that we do not find more bodies. However, we are dealing with a sick individual, and we have reason to believe that there might be more victims.</s>COREN: Sean Childs (ph) knew the foul stench coming from the garage wasn't just a blocked up sewer.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I couldn't put up with the smell. I didn't know if I wanted to throw up, you know? But it was that bad. It was a smell that no one want to smell, something rotten like that.</s>COREN: Customers of his cable business had complained. And when he opened the door to search for a dead animal, there were indications of something far more sinister.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That was my fear, because the smell was that bad. And I know an animal don't last that long when it's rotten.</s>COREN: Police were called to the scene and made the grisly discovery. A young woman's body wrapped in plastic garbage bags. Another body was found in an open field. The third in a basement of a nearby abandoned building. Police arrested 35-year-old Michael Madison, a registered sex offender and owner of the garage. The father of two is well known in the community.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's scary. It's heartbreaking. You know, to know someone that you think that's close to you or your friend could turn out to do something like this.</s>COREN: Madison told police he was inspired by serial killer Anthony Sowell who was convicted in 2011 of killing 11 women in Cleveland and is now on death row. The case was known as the "house of horrors".</s>COREN: Certainly a heinous crime that has rocked this community. Chris, as I mentioned, you know, we don't know the identities of the victims at this stage. But, you know, there are missing women in this community, women who've gone missing in the last couple of weeks. Concerned residents, they raised this to our attention yesterday as we were standing outside the site where police were searching. And they are just now waiting to find out if their loved ones are among the dead. Chris and Kate.</s>CUOMO: That community has had a lot to deal with lately. Anna, thank you very much for the reporting. Here about 45 minutes past the hour. We're going to take a break on NEW DAY. When we come back, several people rescued after heavy rains lead to dangerous flooding, and they're all caught on camera so we'll show them to you. The latest at the top of the hour.</s>PEREIRA: You might call it step dancing on steroids. The biggest river dance ever. It is our must-see moment. That's coming up next.</s>CUOMO: And of course, all eyes on London. Kate can't get enough of it this morning, Kate Bolduan, that is.</s>BOLDUAN: And Kate Middleton. She can get enough of it. She's done. The duchess is reportedly in labor. We're monitoring all the breaking news from across the pond.</s>CUOMO: With the river dancing music underneath.</s>PEREIRA: And welcome back to NEW DAY. This is the edition that you actually can dance along if you'd like. Can you do it, though, and break a world record while you're at it? These guys did in today's must-see moment all the way from Dublin, Ireland, where nearly 1,700 people high-stepped their way to a Guinness world record. You are looking at the world's longest river dance line, trampling the old record by over 1,000.</s>CUOMO: By my eye, there's 1, 693 people there.</s>PEREIRA: Thank you. The dance kicked off at the Samuel Beckett Bridge on Sunday. Gets a little loosey goosey toward the end of the line but everyone's still doing it.</s>BOLDUAN: Everyone's like, am I on the right foot or the left foot?</s>CUOMO: You've got to loosen the standard when you have 1,700 people.</s>PEREIRA: No, at the very end, I don't know if we show it but at the very end, yes, here we go. Guy with a horse head on. You know.</s>BOLDUAN: Why not?</s>PEREIRA: Why not?</s>CUOMO: Wait for it.</s>PEREIRA: There's two.</s>BOLDUAN: He definitely is not trained.</s>BOLDUAN: You know what he's doing? Prancersize.</s>CUOMO: Very nice.</s>BOLDUAN: All right, lots coming up including coming up next on NEW DAY, we're going to stay on top of breaking news this morning. The Duchess of Cambridge in labor right now. The poor thing, we're wishing you well, and the royal baby due any moment. We are live in London, folks.</s>CUOMO: Should be the best day of her life. And then a day of fun at Six Flags over Texas turns tragic when a mother falls to her death while riding on a roller coaster. The new details we're learning this morning as well as the investigation into why at the top of the hour.
