6abc Philadelphia • • world
Key Points:
- Eugene Horsch, 44, is held on drug and firearms charges after a multi-agency investigation uncovered chemicals, firearms, ammunition, and fake IDs at his Olney home in Philadelphia.
- Investigators found hazardous chemicals in the basement, including a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, but have not determined their purpose or found any human remains during the search.
- The investigation began following a June 19 encounter where Horsch was found with fake DEA credentials and a woman had a fake ID linked to a missing person, Amy McHale, who disappeared in 2016 and was last seen at the West Chew Avenue home.
- McHale’s family expressed cautious hope for closure after the search, though no remains were found; Horsch’s attorney stated the chemicals belonged to Horsch’s late father and are not believed to be dangerous.
- Authorities continue to investigate the property’s activities, including those prior to Horsch’s residence, to determine what was occurring at the site.
