- Philadelphia home search uncovers possible human ashes, images of 7 missing women: police (foxnews.com)
Philadelphia authorities have uncovered disturbing evidence while investigating a home linked to missing women, officials announced Wednesday. During a search of the residence once owned by late adult film producer Raymond “R.C.”
Horsch, police discovered more than one million images and videos, including visuals of seven missing women. Among them, two women appeared unconscious and injured in photos dated back to 2017.
Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore revealed that the two women, identified as 27-year-old Gabrielle Armando and 26-year-old Marabel Fresses, remain missing with no recovered bodies or DNA evidence to date. The home was occupied by Eugene Horsch, Raymond’s son, whose arrest in June triggered the ongoing investigation.
Eugene Horsch, 44, was detained on June 19 by a Federal Park Ranger outside Philadelphia’s Independence Mall after officers found firearms, narcotics, and a fake federal law enforcement ID in his possession. He was charged accordingly.
A female passenger in his vehicle provided false identification under the name Blair Tonzelli, a woman reported missing earlier this year. Her true identity and whereabouts remain unknown.
Upon executing a warrant on the residence, investigators discovered what appeared to be a homemade laboratory in the basement, along with five urns believed to contain human ashes. Extensive digital evidence was seized, including computers, hard drives, and cameras.
So far, authorities have identified 58 individuals in the recovered media. Four appear lifeless, and video footage suggests violent acts, including one showing R.C.
Horsch handcuffing a woman and restraining her until unconsciousness. That woman was identified as Nicole Fusaro.
Other missing women connected to the property include Amy McHale, R.C. Horsch’s ex-wife who disappeared in 2016, as well as two additional unidentified women. Police have only just begun processing the vast amount of material, with thousands of videos still under review.
Vanore emphasized the complexity of the case, stating that investigators are working closely with the FBI to corroborate findings and gather physical evidence as they determine next steps in this troubling investigation.
