Philadelphia police link five missing women to Horsch home images
The BBC News segment reports on an ongoing Philadelphia police and FBI investigation into a home in the Olney neighborhood shared by Eugene Horsch and his late father Raymond "R.C." Horsch. It details the June 2026 arrest of Eugene after a park ranger found him with drugs, guns, fake federal badges, and a woman using the ID of a missing person, which led to the search of the house. Officers recovered guns, drugs, a marijuana grow, dangerous chemicals, a 55-gallon drum tied to water lines, five urns with cremated remains, and more than one million digital images and videos showing 58 people, including women posed in the house; some images and a video appear to depict five women as deceased or being strangled. The report cites Philadelphia police officials, including Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore, on the evidence and notes Eugene remains in federal custody on weapons and drug charges but has not been charged in connection with the images. It mentions seven missing women linked overall, with specific names like Gabrielle Amarando and Maribel Fresses, and highlights that the father, who died in 2025, produced films with violent themes. The broadcast stresses the investigation is active and evidence is still being reviewed.
