Childhood friend of Philadelphia missing women suspect speaks out
FBI investigators have recovered more than one million pieces of digital evidence from a Philadelphia home connected to seven missing women. Jeremy Perry, a childhood friend of suspect Eugene Horsch, spoke with America’s Newsroom about Horsch’s troubled history.
Investigators have once again returned to the notorious Philadelphia property formerly owned by the late Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, searching for answers in a case involving multiple missing women and a possible serial killer.
Philadelphia police and federal agents were at the residence Monday while executing a search warrant, FOX 29 Philadelphia reported.
Authorities are expanding their examination of the Horsch home on Chew Avenue in Olney. The operation is expected to close nearby roads and include additional excavation at the property, according to the outlet.

Police told residents at a community meeting to expect further disruptions as the investigation continues.
“We all came together just to make sure neighbors understood that this is an ongoing investigation, we understand it is disruptive, neighbors and businesses are concerned, so we need to provide support and resources,” Councilmember Anthony Phillips said, according to FOX 29.

Investigators are now examining the disturbing images and videos to determine what they show. The review is considered especially significant because Horsch was known to create violent pornography.
Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, an 82-year-old producer of brutally themed pornography and books, died last year.
His 44-year-old son, Eugene Horsch, was arrested in June on allegations involving illegal firearms and forgery. That case prompted police to investigate the troubling contents and conditions discovered inside the family home.
