R.C. Horsch, Philadelphia man linked to multiple missing women, discussed "being a villain" in 2013 podcast
In a 2013 podcast, Raymond "R.C." Horsch answered dozens of questions about his life of sex and adult films as well as allegations he bought and sold millions of dollars of narcotics. There are other concerning details that are part of an ever-growing police investigation.
Horsh, along with his son, lived in the house in Philadelphia's Olney section that is now at the center of a massive investigation. Horsch died last year.
In the episode of Rialto Report from December 2013, he talked openly about his roles in adult movies.
"I, of course, was kind of a natural as a perverted serial killer, wasn't much of a stretch at all," he said in the recording.
He continued: "I tend to play the part, or play up the part of being a villain, yeah. I mean, I tend to try to get some mileage out of it. I figure why not — I'm not getting any mileage out of anything else."
Recordings, writings, books and hundreds of thousands of photos and videos have police on the hunt to figure out what happened to at least four missing women with personal ties to Horsch, two of whom are now dead.
Horsch wrote books in which he claimed to have strangled a woman and then described breaking down her body through a chemical process in the home's basement.
Police tore up sewer lines last month and removed some fifty containers of an oily substance for testing.
Police confirmed Friday no remains have been recovered from the home.
Horsch's son, Eugene, was arrested in late June. Police said they found he had fake federal badges and the ID of a missing woman discovered during a traffic stop.
He was charged with fireams and false federal credentials offenses.
That blew open the investigation at 417 West Chew Avenue in Olney.
Eugene Horsch has not entered a plea and his attorney hasn't commented.
The elder Horsch in the podcast was asked about behavioral deficiencies:
Host: You mentioned earlier that you consider yourself a sociopath in some ways. What do you mean by that?
Horsch: It goes back as long as I can remember, I do not like society. I do not like civilization.
