Philadelphia police and the FBI are investigating a home on West Chew Avenue in Olney after linking at least five missing women to evidence recovered there. Multiple News Sources report that investigators believe the women — Nicole Fusaro, Blair Tonzelli, Amy McHale, Gabrielle Amarando, and Maribel Fresses — may have been victims of Raymond "R.C." Horsch, an erotic photographer and convicted methamphetamine producer.
More than 100 FBI agents and analysts are reviewing over 1 million images and videos, thousands of pages of writings, and other materials seized from the property and hard drives. Reports indicate investigators believe at least two women may have died, though no bodies have been found yet.
Five Missing Women and a West Chew Avenue Home
Nicole Fusaro disappeared in 2018 at age 27. Her family is cooperating with investigators, though authorities have not confirmed whether she appears in alleged footage recovered from the home. Sources report that Blair Tonzelli, Amy McHale, Gabrielle Amarando, and Maribel Fresses are also linked to the case through evidence found at the property.
The investigation began after Horsch's son, Eugene, was arrested in June during a traffic stop at Sixth and Market streets. The woman in his vehicle was carrying identification belonging to Blair Tonzelli, according to Police Reports.
Massive Digital Evidence and Chemical Hazards
Investigators recovered over 600,000 images, 70,000 videos, and 10,000 pages of writings from the Olney house. Evidence Summaries indicate the home also contained vats of unidentified chemicals and writings that referenced serial killers. The sheer volume of material requires over 100 FBI agents and analysts to process and review.
Horsch's Criminal History and Alleged Predatory Tactics
Raymond Horsch was a self-described "sociopath" with a criminal past. Investigators believe he worked as an erotic photographer and was a convicted methamphetamine producer who targeted vulnerable women with drug addictions. He allegedly lured them to the West Chew Avenue property, where police suspect foul play occurred.
Because no bodies have been recovered, the medical examiner cannot issue death certificates or determine official causes of death for Gabrielle Amarando and Maribel Fresses, despite investigators' strong belief that both women died.
Investigation Continues With More Victims Expected
Police say additional missing women could be connected to the case, and authorities expect to provide an update this week. Officials are continuing to analyze the massive volume of images, videos, and writings as they work to determine what happened to each woman and build a case.
