Story summary
Philadelphia police are investigating a house of horrors linked to five missing women, one of whom has recently been identified as Nicole Fusaro, who went missing in 2018 at age 27. The house was once owned by Eugene Horsch and his father, R.C. Horsch, a suspected killer and pornographer who died in 2025. Authorities found over one million digital images on seized hard drives, including photos of women posed in various positions within the home and alleged "snuff movies." The search also uncovered vats of mysterious chemicals, writings referencing serial killers, and human ashes believed to belong to R.C. Horsch and others. Fusaro's family is cooperating with detectives; her cousin Jonathan Halloran-Koren said she was a beautiful woman who will be missed by all.

A video dated 2017 shows Hersch's father, RC Horsch -- who has since died -- with a woman, and both were nude, Vanore said.
