FBI launches invasive forensic sweep of Philadelphia 'house of horrors' linked to seven missing women

FBI and Philadelphia police have launched an intensive, multi-day forensic search of a home in the Olney neighborhood, linked to the disappearances of seven women. Investigators are dismantling interior walls and removing items like glass vials and a vacuum cleaner to find evidence of 'wet cremation' or other crimes. The probe stems from the discovery of over one million digital files at the property, which was formerly owned by late pornographer Raymond Horsch. While five of the missing women are presumed dead, authorities are still determining which recovered footage depicts real crimes versus staged scenes.
