Who are Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and Eugene Horsch, and what was found during the raid on their Philadelphia home?
Answer: Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his 44-year-old son, Eugene Horsch, are a father-son duo from Philadelphia linked to the disappearance of at least five missing women. A police raid on their home uncovered over 1,000,000 digital files containing horrific images of five missing women appearing lifeless on camera, as well as a basement lab filled with various chemicals in bottles, drums, and plastic containers. The raid was triggered after Eugene was arrested on gun charges while with a woman who was carrying a missing woman’s ID.
How is Raymond “R.C.” Horsch’s 2014 fictional memoir connected to the real-life investigation?
Answer: In 2014, the late pornographer Raymond “R.C.” Horsch published a fictional memoir about a serial killer who chemically disposed of his victims. Following the discovery of the basement chemical lab and digital images of lifeless missing women during the police raid, investigators say the so-called fictional memoir now reads like an actual confession.
