Five Women Feared Dead Tied to Philadelphia Home Raid

Federal and local investigators are probing after a June traffic stop led to a raid on Eugene Horsch’s Olney, Philadelphia home. Officers found weapons, drugs, and a vast trove of digital evidence, including videos and images of at least five women who appear unconscious or dead. Some material is linked to Horsch’s late father, a known erotic filmmaker. Five urns were discovered in the basement, and two missing women have been publicly named (Maribel Fresses and Gabrielle Amarando), with two others (and a fourth unidentified woman) connected to the case. The FBI is helping process roughly 30% of the evidence as authorities verify identities; no bodies have yet been recovered. Horsch remains in federal custody on gun/weapons charges, and police say the investigation is ongoing and far from complete.
