CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The street corner opposite the home dubbed Cleveland's "House of Horrors" buzzes with visits from mourners, well-wishers, politicians and the curious.

Some come because they knew one of the victims, others because they live in the neighborhood and want to show their respect.

Others are just curious, like the group of three motorcyclists who decided on Saturday to ride to the house wrapped in police tape on Imperial Avenue.

Police discovered the first two bodies and a freshly dug grave Oct. 29 at the house on the city's east side. By Oct. 31 six bodies had been identified. The number would grow to 11 by Tuesday.

A memorial board that went up Wednesday held a dozen fliers of the missing one day later, and the number continues to grow.
