Meanwhile, serial killer claims continue to surface on social media.
Shocking new details have emerged amid an investigation into a “mystery house” in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood. Eugene Horsch’s house is now in focus, with “graphic” videos being recovered by police.
Horsch was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges connected to false FBI credentials, NBC10 reported. Inside, the DEA and the Philadelphia Police Department found at least one more illegal gun, a marijuana grow operation, another fake FBI badge and five urns filled with cremated remains. Horsch remains in federal custody on charges unrelated to the missing women. The details about the house have led social media users to believe Horsch may be a serial killer, though investigators have not suggested so. “A Eugene Horsch from Philly has been arrested & is looking more & more like a potential serial killer. Police raided his place & found drums, chemicals that could dissolve a body, urns with ashes, guns, fake DEA badges, 600k images & 70k videos. No bodies yet but they’re ripping up his sewers & going over his hard drives. Could turn out to be one of the craziest & biggest serial killer stories yet,” an X user wrote .
As many as 95 search warrants were issued for Horsch’s house on the 400 block of West Chew Avenue. Footage of two known missing women who look dead identified so far, one went missing in 2012. At a preliminary hearing on August 6, Pennsylvania state prosecutors withdrew all five charges against him.
A jury trial in the federal case has been scheduled for September 8. During the probe, investigators found evidence suggesting an attempt to grow or produce narcotics. The note even mentioned killings and “trash that needs to go. Horsch is still facing federal charges for possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of an unlawfully produced document and authentication feature. He was transferred to federal custody after federal prosecutors charged him.
Among several items seized was a piece of writing about serial killer Ted Bundy that referenced zip ties and a drum, a source familiar with the investigation told NBC10.
