Graphic Photos Surface in Philly Missing-Women Case as Police Seize Massive Digital Archive

Philadelphia police say their weeks-long probe of Eugene Horsch’s West Chew Avenue home uncovered about 600,000 images, 70,000 videos and 10,000 pages of drawings and manuscripts, plus urns, a home lab and containers with unknown substances. The two missing women, Maribel Fresses (last seen 2018) and Gabrielle Amarando (missing since 2012), are believed deceased based on graphic photographs recovered; the FBI is assisting as investigators await more findings, with bodies not yet located.

"Vanishing Act: The Disappearance of Over 2 Million Research Papers Online"

A study of over seven million digital publications found that more than two million articles with active DOIs were not properly archived, highlighting the failure of systems to preserve papers online. This poses a significant challenge to the long-term sustainability of the research ecosystem, as the inability to verify past research could lead to a reliance on blind faith. The study suggests measures to improve digital preservation, including stronger requirements at DOI registration agencies and better education and awareness among publishers and researchers.
