PHILADELPHIA – On Monday, investigators were back at the home connected to the disappearances of several women in Philadelphia.
That home belongs to Eugene Horsch, 44, and his late father, Raymond.
Officials are reportedly looking for more evidence after the discovery of hard drives containing images of violent pornography. They say several missing women have been identified in those images — some seemingly dead.
Authorities previously said a total of seven women, five of whom are missing, were connected to the home.
No human remains were found during the initial search of the property earlier this month.
Police are reportedly bringing in heavy equipment as part of this search.
The case began in June when Horsch was arrested on unrelated charges.
Since no bodies have been found and none of the women have been declared dead yet, no charges have been filed for the disappearances.
Authorities say at the time, guns and narcotics were recovered, and Horsch allegedly had an ID impersonating law enforcement.
Investigators obtained a search warrant for Horsch and his late father Raymond’s home on West Chew Street in Philadelphia, where they made several shocking discoveries.
“There was a homemade laboratory of some kind in the basement area. There were five urns believed to be containing human ashes. Images were discovered. In these images, we saw a 27-year-old Gabrielle Amarando and a 26-year-old Maribel Fresses who were in the house lying unconscious. They had what appeared to be injuries on them,” Frank Vanore, deputy commissioner, investigations, Philadelphia Police Department, said previously.
More than one million digital files were recovered, authorities said. In those files were pictures and videos of women who appeared unconscious and possibly lifeless. One video showed a woman allegedly being strangled with a zip tie.
Authorities are still combing through hundreds of thousands of pieces of evidence in their search for answers.
