Philadelphia police identify 58 people in images from investigation into Olney house

Authorities say they have identified dozens of people seen in images found inside the so-called "house of horrors" in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.

The home on the 400 block of Chew Avenue, owned by Eugene Horsch, is where Horsch's father, Raymond Charles Horsch, also lived until his death in 2025 — and has been the subject of a massive investigation. Officials say there's evidence that at least two missing women have died. 

On Tuesday, police sources confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia that a fifth missing woman, Nicole Fusaro, is now tied to the investigation. Multiple sources close to the investigation confirmed that video recovered from the home shows Raymond Horsch strangling Fusaro on a bed. 

On Tuesday, police sources said more than 100 FBI agents and analysts from across the country are helping sift through more than 1 million pieces of video and photographic evidence, including images, videos and pages of writing.

Last month, police said during a news conference that investigators found "graphic and dark" evidence at the home, including that at least two missing women — Maribel Fresses and Gabrielle Amarando — have died. Fresses was last seen in February 2018, and Amarando has been missing since September 2012.

However, the women's bodies have yet to be located. Without any bodies, the medical examiner cannot issue a death certificate or determine the cause of death.

Police also previously searched pipes at the home for DNA and found a stockpile of chemicals.

Eugene Horsch has been behind bars since his arrest in June. CBS News Philadelphia has reached out to his attorney multiple times and has not heard back.
