Police have identified a fifth missing woman tied to the Philadelphia “house of horrors” where they continue to search through more than one million photos taken from the former residence of an infamous pornographer.
The FBI is investigating the former home of Raymond “RC” Horsch and his son Eugene. While Raymond is dead, Eugene has been in federal custody since June when he was arrested for allegedly carrying illegal guns and a fake DEA badge.
Since then, the focus of the investigation has shifted to the home he shared with his father.
Law enforcement officials searched his home and discovered what they called “dark” videos that allegedly feature his father hurting women — including women who are missing — vats of chemicals, and writings that reference serial killers.
Four women — Blair Tonzelli, Gabrielle Amarando, Maribel Fresses, and Amy McHale — have already been identified as connected to the case, and Philadelphia police announced this week that a fifth woman is tied to the Horsch case.

“Nicole was a beautiful, kindhearted woman who deserved so much better than what happened to her. She will forever be loved and missed by her family and friends,” Jonathan Halloran-Koren, Fusaro’s cousin, told WPVI.
Fusaro’s family has been meeting with the Philadelphia police.
Investigators said one of the videos pulled from the house in August is allegedly footage of Horsch strangling a woman. Officers said they contacted a family member of the victim and informed them of the footage they discovered.

Tonzelli went missing in February 2023. She was 35 years old at the time of her disappearance.
Her bank card was also allegedly found in the Horsch home.
Police said during a press conference in August that investigators saw photos that allegedly show Fresses and Armando alive and then dead.

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that the images and videos showed both women deceased, though it cannot rule on an an official cause of death without examining their physical remains, according to reports from NBC10 Philadelphia.
Investigators have issued more than 95 search warrants at the Olney neighborhood home. They have Found five urns containing cremated ashes, more than 20 containers of unknown chemicals, and dozens of digital storage devices.
“I’m not gonna get into exactly what I saw, it’s dark. It’s real dark,” Philadelphia Police Inspector Raymond Evers said during the August press conference. “But what we saw is these two girls alive. There was a period of time and what appears to us that they’re deceased. There’s pieces of the video that we don’t have yet.”
Evers warned that the investigation is going to “take time” as “there’s a lot of evidence to go through.”
