The digest
A chilling investigation is underway in Philadelphia, centered around a house on West Chew Avenue, now infamously dubbed the "House of Horrors." The FBI and local police are sifting through an enormous collection of digital files—over a million photographs, videos, and writings—recovered from the home of the late Raymond "RC" Horsch. These discoveries paint a disturbing picture of a man who not only created violent pornography but also self-published books in which he described himself as an "empathetic serial killer" and detailed disposing of women's bodies with chemicals.
The Man Behind the Horrors
RC Horsch, who died in 2025, is now suspected of being a real-life serial killer, precisely as he described himself in his own writings. The recovered files include videos depicting women who appear to be alive and then dead, and a recording that police believe shows Horsch strangling a woman with a zip tie. This gruesome evidence has led investigators to link at least seven missing women to the house, with five feared to have entered and never left. Among the identified missing women are Gabrielle Amirando, Marabel Fresus, Nicole Fusaro, Blair Tanzelli, and RC's former wife, Amy McCale. Families of these women have waited over a decade for answers, and recent developments suggest a breakthrough.
