Police probe pornographer Raymond Horsch's links to Kensington crematorium amid missing women case

Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, who died in May 2025, once displayed alleged autopsy photos of an unidentified woman at a 2014 Kensington art show, claiming the footage came from a city morgue warehouse. Law-enforcement sources say he gained entry to a Kensington crematorium linked to the Garzone Funeral Home by providing an employee with drugs and cash, allowing him to film and photograph dead bodies.

The crematorium, known as Liberty Cremations, was closed in 2007 after authorities charged its owners with selling over 240 corpses to a tissue company. As part of a broader local and federal investigation into at least seven women who vanished between 2016 and 2023, police are scrutinizing Horsch's relationship to the crematorium and have seized numerous videos and photos from his Olney home and basement. While no bodies have been recovered, investigators have identified several women appearing dead in the recovered footage and continue to examine the extensive media for further leads.
