Childhood friend of Philadelphia missing women suspect speaks out
FBI investigators have recovered more than one million pieces of digital evidence from a Philadelphia home connected to seven missing women. Jeremy Perry, a childhood friend of suspect Eugene Horsch, appeared on “America’s Newsroom” to discuss what he knew about Horsch’s troubled past.
Investigators have once again returned to the Philadelphia home formerly owned by the late Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, searching for evidence in a case involving several missing women and a possible serial killer.
Philadelphia police and federal agents were at the property Monday while executing a search warrant, FOX 29 Philadelphia reported.
Authorities are intensifying their examination of the Horsch residence on Chew Avenue in Olney. The operation is expected to close roads and include additional digging at the property, according to the outlet.

During a community meeting, police cautioned residents that the investigation would bring further disruptions and more intensive law enforcement activity.
“We all came together just to make sure neighbors understood that this is an ongoing investigation, we understand it is disruptive, neighbors and businesses are concerned, so we need to provide support and resources,” Councilmember Anthony Phillips said, according to FOX 29.

Investigators are trying to determine what the disturbing photos and videos show, especially because Horsch was known for creating violent pornography.
Horsch, 82, produced pornography and books featuring brutal themes before his death last year.
His son, 44-year-old Eugene Horsch, was arrested in June on charges related to unlawful firearms possession and forgery. That arrest led police to make troubling discoveries inside the family’s home.
