FBI seizes 'glass vials' from Philadelphia home linked to 7 missing women
Key Points:
- Philadelphia police have conducted multiple searches of a home in the Olney neighborhood linked to the late pornographer Raymond "RC" Horsch, recovering over a million pieces of digital evidence and various items including glass vials and workout equipment.
- Investigators believe the evidence found at the home may connect Horsch to seven separate cases of missing women, with some images linked to four identified women, including Maribel Fresses and Gabrielle Aramando.
- Horsch's son, Eugene, was arrested in June on unrelated drug, firearms, and forgery charges; during that arrest, a woman with him was found carrying the ID of another missing woman, Blair Tonzelli.
- Authorities discovered alleged "snuff" videos, a chemical drum connected to the water system, and urns possibly containing human ashes during the investigation, prompting ongoing excavation around the property.
- Experts suggest Horsch may have been part of a larger network involved in producing and distributing snuff films, indicating potential financial motives alongside the sadistic themes in his work.
