Police say two women were killed in Olney home
Key Points:
- Philadelphia police have uncovered photos and videos on hard drives inside a dilapidated Olney home that appear to show the deaths of two women, Maribel Fresses and Gabrielle Amarando, who had been missing for years and were not previously linked to the case.
- Despite the discovery of graphic evidence, no human remains have been found at the home, and forensic tests have not confirmed the presence of human blood or DNA, complicating the official declaration of the women's deaths.
- The investigation involves over 95 search warrants and has yielded a large cache of evidence, including cremated remains, chemicals, and extensive digital materials containing hundreds of thousands of images and videos.
- Eugene Albert Horsch, who lived at the home with his late father Raymond Horsch, has not been charged in connection with the deaths, though police are still reviewing only a small portion of the digital evidence.
- The case began after a June encounter near Independence Mall led to Horsch's arrest for weapons and drug-related charges and renewed focus on multiple missing women connected to the Olney home, drawing national attention to the complex investigation.
