FBI and Philadelphia police continue massive raid of Horsch home amid missing‑women probe

On July 13, FBI agents and Philadelphia homicide detectives executed a new search warrant at the West Chew Avenue house in Olney, the residence of Eugene Horsch, who remains in custody on multiple charges. The operation follows earlier sweeps that uncovered chemicals, ammunition and narcotics, and it has produced a large cache of digital files. Detectives say the material may relate to the disappearances of multiple women linked to the property, and they have begun extensive excavation of the yard while imposing daytime street closures and parking restrictions. The investigation remains active, with officials warning that the search could extend beyond the initially announced timeframe.
