Police say the women were lured to home of registered sex offender Anthony Sowell with the promise of alcohol or getting high.

Authorities say Sowell then strangled them and left their bodies in his house or buried in the backyard.

Sowell remains in jail on $6 million bond on five preliminary charges of aggravated murder.

The hot line, opening Monday, will be staffed 24 hours a day by a licensed therapist. The number to call is 216-339-9664.

Sowell pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges in an alleged attack on a woman at his home in September. That case led to the discovery of the bodies.
