New details have emerged in the investigation of a Philadelphia home linked to multiple missing women. Sources told Action News that investigators recovered video that allegedly shows Raymond Horsch strangling a woman to death.
Raymond Horsch was the late father of suspect Eugene Horsch. Eugene Horsch remains in federal custody on firearms charges.
According to investigators, authorities recovered several hard drives from the Chew Avenue property. The hard drives contained hundreds of thousands of images and videos.
Early breakthrough in the case
Police said only a small portion of the material has been reviewed. Even so, the evidence provided an early breakthrough. It linked two women who vanished years ago to the home.
Investigators identified the women as Maribel Fresses. She disappeared in 2018 at age 27.
The second woman was Gabriella Amarando. She was reported missing in 2012 at age 22.
Police said some of the images and videos appear to show the women deceased. Authorities have not recovered the bodies of either woman.
Makeshift laboratory discovered in basement
Investigators also removed more than 20 containers of an unknown substance. The containers came from what authorities described as a makeshift laboratory in the basement.
The containers have been sent to a federal laboratory in Chicago for testing. Results from the lab had not been released at the time of the report.
Suspect’s court status and next steps
Eugene Horsch has remained in custody since his arrest at Independence Mall in June. He is not scheduled to return to court until January.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the missing women. They are also reviewing the evidence recovered from the home.
A former FBI agent has weighed in as the mystery into the Olney home deepens. Investigators have not publicly identified any additional suspects.
