About this episode

The Cleveland Health Department had been flooded by calls from residents on Imperial Avenue. The residents complained of an inescapable, pungent, thick stench that was so strong that it made their eyes sting.

After years of calls, the inspectors went out to investigate. The source was clear.

No matter what the residents tried - the smell never went away.

At least for years. 11 bodies later.
