Philadelphia police are investigating a home in the Olney neighborhood linked to the disappearance of at least seven women, five of whom are presumed dead. The investigation focuses on Eugene Horsch and his late father, R.C. Horsch, who lived in the house. Eugene was arrested in June after being found with a missing woman’s ID, weapons, drugs, and forged documents. A search of his home uncovered dangerous chemicals, a marijuana operation, and over a million digital images, including photos of missing women. Some images show women injured or deceased, and police have identified 58 people from the images, with 16 uncooperative and 25 scheduled for interviews. Five urns believed to contain human remains were also found. This case highlights the serious nature of the investigation and the potential involvement of the Horsch family in these disappearances.
