Police uncover alleged snuff film at Philadelphia home linked to multiple missing women
Detectives found a video that appears to show Raymond Horsch strangling a woman inside his Olney house, which is already tied to five missing females.
Philadelphia police have seized a hard-drive from the late pornographer Raymond “RC” Horsch’s Olney home that appears to show him strangling a woman, adding a new layer to a case already involving five missing females linked to the property. The victim’s identity remains undisclosed, though authorities have alerted a family member. The investigation has uncovered roughly 600,000 images, 70,000 videos and more than 10,000 pages of writings referencing serial killers and body disposal.
Two of the missing women, Maribel Fresses and Gabrielle Amarando, were previously identified in other footage as appearing deceased with visible injuries. Despite digital evidence suggesting three of the missing women are dead, no remains have been found at the house. Horsch, who died in 2025, is under federal firearms and fraudulent-credential charges but has not been charged with homicide.
His son, Eugene Horsch, is also under scrutiny, with investigators noting his possession of a missing woman’s ID. Former FBI profiler James R. Fitzgerald commented on the high-risk victim profile and possible familial involvement.
Why it matters
The case highlights a potential serial killing operation and raises concerns about exploitation of vulnerable women.
