WHYY • • nation
Key Points:
- Philadelphia investigators recovered over 1 million pieces of digital evidence related to physical and sexual abuse from a home in the Olney section, linked to the disappearances of at least five women.
- Authorities found thousands of videos, cameras, computers, hard drives, phones, and five urns believed to contain human ashes at the 400 block of West Chew Avenue.
- The investigation centers on Eugene Horsch, who faces federal charges unrelated to the abuse, and his late father Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, who produced disturbing videos dating back to 2017 involving unconscious women.
- Officials have identified 58 individuals in the videos, with some appearing lifeless and others later dying from overdoses; interviews with those involved have been challenging due to uncooperative witnesses.
- The FBI and Philadelphia police emphasize the complexity and scale of the investigation, reviewing only 30% of the evidence so far, and urge the public to be patient as they proceed methodically to ensure accuracy.
