Summary

Bones were discovered in the backyard of a Philadelphia residence at 417 West Chew Avenue during an ongoing investigation into multiple missing women. The property is connected to Raymond 'R.C.' Horsch, a deceased suspected serial killer, and his son Eugene Horsch, who was arrested on drug and firearm charges in June. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office retrieved the remains for laboratory testing. Investigators have not yet determined whether the bones are human or animal, nor have they established their connection to the missing women case. Seven women have been linked to the house through photographs and video evidence recovered during the investigation. The search of the property, which has included excavation of the backyard using luminol testing and removal of over one million digital files, is ongoing and expected to continue through at least mid-week.
