PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — After weeks of excavation, dismantling walls, and collecting evidence, investigators concluded their extensive search Friday of a home along Chew Avenue in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood.<\/a><\/p>\n

The search marks the end of the latest phase of a months-long investigation into the former home of Raymond “R.C.” Horsch<\/a>, a producer of violent pornography, and his son, Eugene.<\/p>\n

Since June, investigators have linked at least seven missing or unidentified women<\/a> to the property.<\/p>\n

New findings emerge in Philly investigation linked to missing women<\/p>\n

Authorities have recovered more than 1 million digital images, some depicting women who appear injured, unconscious or possibly dead. Investigators also discovered animal bones and possible traces of blood during their search.<\/a><\/p>\n

No human remains have been found.<\/p>\n

Sources tell Action News that items of interest recovered from the property will now undergo forensic testing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since early October, a large green tent, heavy equipment and police vehicles have lined the residential street as investigators searched the property. On Friday, crews cleared the scene, bringing the extensive operation to a close.<\/p>\n

Hours after investigators departed, a man who identified himself to Action News as a relative of the Horsch family arrived at the vacant home. He declined to speak on camera but was seen leaving with a stack of papers.<\/p>\n

With the property search complete, investigators will now shift their focus back to reviewing video evidence and contacting women they have not yet reached as the broader investigation continues.<\/p>\n
