SEVEN missing women have been linked to a house of horrors in Philadelphia where police say they’ve found over 1 million photos and videos depicting multiple other apparent corpses.

Authorities searched the home after arresting Eugene Horsch, 44, for allegedly impersonating a federal officer and found writings referencing serial killers and media showing Horsch’s father harming women.

Philadelphia police said they discovered a million photos and videos in a home where many images depict women who appear lifeless

The discovery was made after officials arrested Eugene Horsch, who was with a woman allegedly possessing a fake ID with the name of a missing woman, on firearm charges

Eugene lived in the home in the Olney section of north Philadelphia with his father Raymond “RC” Horsch – a known erotic photographer with a criminal past – who died in 2025.

Eugene was taken into custody in June after police heard a woman in a car shout that the driver was going to hurt her.

When officers searched the vehicle, they found a fake DEA badge, a switchblade and two guns that had serial numbers scratched away, police said.

The woman in the car was also allegedly found to be carrying a fake ID, and while it had her picture on it, it had the information of a woman who had been reported missing, which alarmed officials.

In the months since, police have identified 58 different people across the over 1million images and photos recovered from the home, Philadelphia police said on Wednesday.

Seven women have now been connected to the home on Chew Avenue, including five who appeared to have been lifeless, injured and possibly dead.

No bodies have been recovered.

Two of the women, one 25-year-old whose identity is known but has not yet been released per the family‘s request and another who remains unidentified, were seen in photos appearing to be unconscious and injured.

Five women connected to the case have been named: Blair Tonzelli, Gabrielle Amarando, Maribel Fresses, Amy McHale and Nicole Fusaro.

Amarando disappeared at the age of 22 in 2012, and Fresses vanished in 2018 at the age of 27.

Both women were both seen inside the house lying unconscious with apparent injuries in photos from 2017 recovered off a computer, Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said on Wednesday.

Fusaro disappeared in 2018 at the age of 27, her cousin told ABC affiliate WPVI on Tuesday, adding that the family has been meeting with detectives.

Investigators uncovered a video appearing to show RC strangling a woman who was naked and handcuffed to a bed.

Sources told WPVI that the woman was Fusaro.

“At some point during this, using a channel lock tool of some kind, he puts a zip tie around her neck and she becomes unconscious on that video,” Vanore said.

Tonzelli, 35, who vanished in 2023, was the first woman named in the case.

Blair Tonzelli was last seen in February 2023 in Philadelphia

Maribel Fresses was last seen by her family in 2018

Her information was on the ID that police found on the woman who was with Eugene when he was arrested.

The woman allegedly told police that Eugene gave her the ID.

McHale’s family told WPVI that she was last seen in 2016 at the Horsch home in Philadelphia, and that she had been previously married to Eugene’s father, RC.

Her daughter Amanda Stofer has pleaded on social media for anyone with information to come forward, saying, “Amy made bad decisions. Amy trusted the wrong people. Amy loved the wrong man. My mother was a victim of evil. They saw her vulnerability and preyed upon her.”

Police said on Wednesday that ten of the people seen in the digital content being reviewed by investigators are known to have overdosed at a later time.

“They were found somewhere else, in a different residence, in a different place in Philadelphia, not at Chew Street,” Vanore explained.

Sixteen people seen in the images have been found in various states but they have not wanted to talk to police about “what occurred in that house,” Valore said.

An additional 25 people seen in the images and videos have been found alive that police are scheduling interviews with.

Three people have called officials saying they’ll find them in the digital content, but will not come in for interviews.

Investigators are looking into whether chemicals may have been used to break down the bodies of deceased victims after discovering unknown chemicals inside the Horsch home alongside a gun, manuscripts and drugs.

Police said they have reviewed about 30% of the material they recovered as of Wednesday and that they plan to execute another search warrant at the house at a later time in September.

Eugene remains held on firearm charges and has not been charged with anything in connection with the recovered images and videos.

A woman spoke with The Sun in August saying RC approached her in 2020, proposing a photoshoot.

“He told me there would be no sex, but over time it did turn into sexual favors,” said the woman who asked to be identified by the pseudonym Beth Perry.

She claimed RC instructed her to pose naked in graveyards, asking her to play dead and appear bruised.

“R.C. would want real blood in the pictures; he would want as much blood and reality as possible,” Perry alleged.

“He wanted it to be an authentic mark. If he wanted you to look beat, he would beat you for the picture.”

She claimed RC’s “endgame” was to get her to his house, saying, “I feared that if I went there, I would have disappeared.”

Perry said her heart dropped after hearing about the discovery of photos and videos.
