Blair Tonzelli, who vanished three years ago, is at center of Philly police search of Olney house
Key Points:
- Blair Tonzelli, missing from Kensington for over three years, was linked to Eugene Albert Horsch after a woman in his car showed police a fake ID bearing Tonzelli’s name, which Horsch reportedly made for her to use in trouble.
- Horsch, arrested with drugs, guns, and fake law enforcement credentials, is under investigation for connections to Tonzelli’s disappearance and that of Amy McHale, last seen at the Horsch family property in 2016.
- Police searching Horsch’s Olney home found multiple fake IDs in Tonzelli’s name, drugs, guns, chemicals, and a letter describing violence, with a significant amount of blood discovered but no human remains yet recovered.
- Tonzelli struggled with opioid addiction and had ties to the Horsch family, known for involvement in drug dealing and producing exploitative media; she was last seen in August 2022 and reported missing in early 2023.
- Authorities continue to investigate Tonzelli’s disappearance amid concerns raised by witnesses about Horsch’s violent tendencies, with plans to excavate the property and ongoing forensic testing of evidence found at the scene.
