Investigators have made a grim discovery at a Philadelphia house connected to the cases of seven missing women. A hidden safe and human bones were found buried beneath the floorboards and in the backyard of the property, as the investigation continues.
Police in Philadelphia, along with the FBI, uncovered these unsettling pieces of evidence while searching the home owned by Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his son, Eugene. Reports indicate this property has links to seven women who have gone missing or remain unidentified.
While conducting the search, investigators stumbled upon a hidden safe behind some walls and floors, but details about its contents remain unknown, according to law enforcement sources. Additionally, bones were recovered from the backyard, prompting the involvement of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office.
Officials are still trying to ascertain whether the bones are from a human or an animal, which adds to the ongoing mystery surrounding the case.
Meanwhile, crews are also collecting soil samples from various parts of the property. They seem to be taking samples from different locations and depths to analyze for any chemical presence.
Eugene Horsch is currently facing firearms charges as the investigation delves deeper into the cases of the missing women, which has unearthed multiple disturbing revelations. After his arrest in June, investigators found alleged snuff films featuring R.C. along with several missing women, vats containing unidentified chemicals, and various writings that referenced serial killers.
In one of the alleged snuff films, there is a depiction of a woman being strangled by R.C., who was known as an erotic photographer and had been convicted for meth production. Authorities believe he may have targeted vulnerable women, particularly those struggling with addiction.
They have also begun to sift through over a million images found at the house, revealing disturbing evidence. Among the findings were images and videos depicting two women — Maribel Frieses, last seen in 2018, and Gabrielle Amarando, who disappeared in 2012 — suggesting they may be deceased.
Additionally, Blair Tonzelli, who went missing in 2023, and Amy McHale, Horsch’s ex-wife last seen in 2016, have also been identified by investigators as part of the ongoing probe.
Family members of McHale noted that her last known whereabouts were at the home shared by Horsch and his son. R.C. Horsch passed away last year and is suspected to be connected to some of the urns that investigators recovered from the rundown property.
