RSS Feed An illegal parking violation in Philadelphia has led to a house of horrors, as investigators recover more than a million digital images of dozens of women. Although no bodies have been found at the home of 44-year-old Eugene Horsch that was previously shared with his late, pornographic filmmaker father Raymond, some of those images depict “lifeless” women and in one case shows what appears to be a woman being strangled. Among the mountain of evidence removed from the house, 5 urns with remains inside and dozens of barrels in the basement containing an unknown liquid.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Friday, September 18th. And police in Philadelphia are not sure if they have two serial killers on their hands after going through a house of horrors where they believe at least five women died, but they don't have any bodies. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. I talk about five women dead. there might be as many as seven women or more connected to whatever this is at this house, Rose, but it's possible this was a father-son potential serial killer duo. Wow.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: This is jaw-dropping, and for two people who do love a good thriller, horror movie, this is worse than any movie plot I've ever seen. We're talking about more than a million digital characters images have been recovered from this home showing injured, unconscious, and possibly lifeless women. But yes, as you pointed out, they have not recovered any bodies yet, but this is still a very active investigation.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: That didn't start as a murder investigation.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, it all began because of a bad parking job. They were somewhere where they shouldn't be. Eugene Horshes, who we're talking about, 44 years old, he was with a woman. He was arrested because he was illegally parked. Not because he was illegally parked, but because when police went over to his vehicle, they found two handguns, $ 8, 000 worth of illegal drugs, and the woman with also an ID impersonating a law enforcement officer. And the woman with him, when she presented her ID, she presented the ID of a woman who had been missing for quite some time, since 2023, and they knew they had something more on their hands.
00:02:01
Speaker 1: But man, they did not know they had this.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: They did not.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: This is a developing story because robes, we're talking about, again, I'm going to explain why they say that five women are dead, but robes, there's potentially dozens upon dozens upon dozens of victims out there, and they don't know if they're alive or dead.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: That's correct. So we mentioned 44-year-old Eugene Horsch. Well, his father... the late Raymond R. Seahorse. He died last year at the age of 82, and police say he was a pornographic filmmaker and photographer. But between these two men, which isn't illegal, is not illegal, who lived in this home, and I mentioned those million, a million digital images, 58 different people are depicted in these images. Some of them they found are alive, but at least seven of them have been missing and were reported missing. And many of these women, their families have been waiting for more than a decade to figure out where they were, what happened to them. They found five urns with remains inside this home that they're going to have to figure out. They think one of them is the remains of R.C. Horsch, and they believe maybe his sister, a friend, but there are two other urns that they don't know whose remains are inside.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: So how are we getting to the five, right? Five women. How can they feel good about the five women dead and potentially, even though we have seven that they know were missing and connected to them?
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Because the pictures show women who appear to be dead who match the images of the women who are missing. And in one horrific case, Nicole Fusaro, she disappeared in 2018 at the age of 27. They found a video of her while she was alive and then reportedly showing RC, the father, strangling her with a zip tie and you literally watch her die.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: In this video. This is the one where they saw them doing drugs on the.
00:04:08
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:04:09
Speaker 1: Yes. I don't... The police aren't necessarily giving a full theory of what they think was going on here, but Robes, these folks were into making whatever kind of videos they were into making.
00:04:23
Speaker 3: Right?
00:04:24
Speaker 1: Right. And say he was a, what, a pornography director?
00:04:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, a pornographic filmmaker is what they called him.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: But what they describe in these videos, Robes, is not that. No. There might be some of that, sure. But Robes, the stuff we're talking about, he's not being investigated for having dirty videos.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: No, and who knows if this is how he lured the women over. Many of these women were substance abuse users, were in very difficult stages of their lives, some of them in different states of homelessness. And so he took vulnerable people who needed cash or who maybe needed drugs. And they believe perhaps they all met the same fate, unfortunately. And some of them met that fate. And it was documented, videos, photos. So the seven women, Blair Tanzeli, that was the woman whose ID this other woman had with her. She was 35 at the time of her disappearance. But yes, she's been missing since 2023. Then there's Amy McHale. She was last seen in 2016. She was 44 years old at the time. She was the ex-wife to R.C. Horsch, but she was last seen at his home. And again, that was 10 years ago. She's never been seen since. Gabrielle Amarando, she disappeared in 2012, babe. She was just 22 years old. And Maribel Fresas disappeared in 2018 when she was 27. I mentioned those two, Gabrielle and Maribel Fresas. Because both of these women specifically were identified in photos and videos from inside that home. They were absolutely seen alive. And then they later appeared to be dead in other videos and other photos. So they were able to specifically... point those women out. Nicole Fusaro, I already told you about that, where she was actually seen dying on a video, they believe. And then there's a 25-year-old woman who they found injured and unconscious. They have identified her, they have spoken to her family, and her family has asked that she not be publicly identified. And then they have a Jane Doe, who they can see injured and unconscious in these photos and videos. She has not been ID'd yet. This is an unthinkable situation. And investigators have not been able to file murder charges or even declare anyone officially dead yet. Even though they see these videos, they see these photos, but because they don't have a body yet, and they have not found any bodies yet, they can't charge anyone with murder.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: And the urns, they don't know No.
00:07:03
Speaker 2: So they're going to have to go through forensic testing. The lab work alone coming out of this home, and it's a large home, actually. I've seen the aerial, the outside of it. A lot to go through. But they say several death investigations are ongoing.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: You talk about the rope. You said how big the house is. all the evidence physically to go through but rose you talk about all the videos and things they've been doing for years you talk about a woman's been missing since 2012 yes rose the amount of digital evidence and the number of agents or detectives they're going to be neat have to stare at screens for hours and hours trying to identify women from.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: 10 15 plus years ago rose this is a colossal a colossal undertaking how big does this story get baby.
00:07:54
Speaker 2: I think it's just in its infancy because this news all broke yesterday. It was just at the end of the day on Thursday. All of this information started coming in, and you read these reports, and it is so much to go through. They have a huge amount of officers. They're adding more homicide detectives to this case. There are so many different charges for so many different things, but to think that this 82-year-old man who may have been the mastermind of it all, died last year. He'll never actually end up paying the price, basically, for what we believe to be perhaps some of the most horrific crimes you can imagine out there. So when we come back, we're going to go over the very latest on this investigation, what police have been able to do so far, and what they're continuing to do today and in the days to come. Welcome back everyone to one of the most horrific stories we have ever seen anywhere. This is coming out of Philadelphia. Seven missing women, five of whom are presumed dead, have been identified in this home through videos and photos. Some of these women haven't been seen in more than a decade. And so Thankfully, it looks like some families are going to get some closure, but they don't know where these women are still.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: These are the, because they've identified so many more. So I guess these are seven women. You help me here, baby. Am I putting this together right? If they have seven women that are missing, that means, and they say five dead, that means they see something. They believe they see five dead on the video.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: And don't know the fate of the other two based.
00:09:41
Speaker 2: On the video.
00:09:42
Speaker 1: Correct.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: Yes. And they say because 58 different people, they said people, but mostly women depicted in these images, they've tracked down some of them. They are alive. They said a lot of them do not want to cooperate. And you can imagine why. And they are asking for anyone who has been inside for centuries. West Chew Avenue in Philadelphia to please come forward. They're asking for anyone to help. connect the dots, figure out what was happening in there. Eugene Horsch, 44 years old, the son of R.C. Horsch. R.C. passed away last year, but Eugene is in federal custody right now. He's being held on gun charges, drug charges, other charges. He's not being held for murder as of yet because, again, they have no bodies. Now, investigators removed 20 containers of of an unknown substance from a makeshift lab they found in the basement of this home. The contents of those containers is now being tested in a federal lab in Chicago. We don't know. I don't know if this is a makeshift drug lab, meth lab, if this was a way they- Porn lab. Or dissolved bodies in these barrels. Who knows what is inside these barrels? So that is being tested right now. And to give you an idea of the scope of this investigation- So far, police have already executed nearly 100 search warrants on the home and its contents. So not only are they continuing to go through this home looking for forensic evidence, they're also, as we pointed out, tracking down the people they are seeing in these photos, in these videos, and trying to get some answers as to what was actually happening inside that home. But this is just one of those worst case scenarios.
00:11:33
Speaker 1: Robes, these are, who are these guys? Robes, you're talking about, they've identified 58.
00:11:39
Speaker 2: 58 people in more than a million pieces of digital evidence. So this, obviously, to have that many videos and photos.
00:11:51
Speaker 1: The neighbors are going to start, Ro, we're going to start to hear stories about what people have seen over the years, probably. You cannot do this for 15 years in a residence and nobody see anything untoward over the years. Ro, what was happening at that house?
00:12:03
Speaker 2: And the problem is when you, when you. take advantage of people who are in a vulnerable part of their lives, who need drugs, who don't have family support, perhaps at that point, you know, this is how you get away with it for a very long time, because people assume that their loved one met a fate of their own doing, perhaps, you know, just found somewhere or a drug overdose or whatever. But yes, he, they chose people who they knew they could probably get away with this. But yes, they believe that there may have been, have we ever seen a father-son serial killer duo before? I can't think of one in history. I'm sure it's happened.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: It's gotta be somewhere. What was the relation, did they see shooters?
00:12:45
Speaker 2: They weren't, what was the relationship? No, they met at a gym.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: Yep.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Absolutely. But look, they say right now the FBI, because they're involved, is only about 30 percent through reviewing all of that digital evidence. So there could be many, many more victims. And it's just this is going to be a story that we're going to continue to hear about in the days and weeks and perhaps even months to come, because these images are some of them, 10, 12. 15 years old, as you say. So they just have to go through all of this is overwhelming. But these women, their pictures are everywhere. If you go online, you'll see their faces. You'll see their names. And you think about their poor families who have just not had any answers for all these years. And to think because Eugene was illegally parked, this entire case has been blowed wide open. But if he hadn't done that.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: Who knows?
00:13:46
Speaker 2: Who knows how much more damage he could have done. But yes, he had a black BMW parked near Independence Mall right out there in plain sight. And now cut to photos of crime scene tape and investigators in full lab coats trying, or you know, in the protective gear going in there trying to protect all the evidence that's inside this home. So they have confirmed, by the way, 25 of the people in those videos were confirmed alive. 16 have been interviewed. 10 of them have died of known overdoses. So just imagine all the people they're having to like check the boxes off. So we'll continue to keep our eye on this developing story, but we wanted to put it on your radar, everyone. Thank you for joining us. As always, I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
