Investigators searching the Philadelphia home of Raymond "R.C." Horsch, a now-deceased pornographer, have recovered more than one million images, five containers believed to contain human ashes, and what police describe as snuff films showing women who appear unconscious or dead. Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said images of seven missing women were found at the property, including Gabrielle Armando and Maribel Fresses, both of whom appear unconscious and visibly injured in footage from 2017. Across all the material recovered, 58 women have been identified to date, and investigators fear that some may have been murdered, with acid vats also discovered at the scene raising concerns that remains were destroyed in them. The FBI intensified its investigation after R.C. Horsch's son Eugene, 44, was arrested in June on unrelated charges.

R.C. Horsch, who died in May 2025 at the age of 82, allegedly drugged and paid women before restraining and strangling them into unconsciousness, recording the acts throughout.

Five women are feared dead; two others — Blair Tonzelli and R.C. Horsch's ex-wife Amy McHale — have not been located and remain unaccounted for.
