5 missing women now linked to massive investigation at Philadelphia home
Key Points:
- Five missing women, including Nicole Fusaro who disappeared in 2018, have been linked to an ongoing investigation centered on Eugene Horsch's home in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.
- The case also involves Gabrielle Amarando (missing since 2012), Maribel Fresses (missing since 2018), Blair Tonzelli (missing in 2023), and Amy McHale (last seen in 2016), with some women seen in recovered images and videos, though bodies have not been found.
- Eugene Horsch, 44, remains in federal custody on firearms charges, and his late father Raymond Horsch has become a central figure after investigators reportedly recovered video showing him strangling a woman.
- The investigation began after a ranger spotted a suspicious vehicle and identified a woman with Tonzelli's ID, leading to the discovery of drugs, firearms, ballistic evidence, and a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines at the property.
- Authorities have excavated underground pipes in front of the home for evidence, and officers found a handwritten note referencing serial killer Ted Bundy and trash disposal methods, indicating potential premeditation.
