Bizarre Encounter in Philadelphia Leads to a Home Full of Guns, Chemicals and Drugs, Police Say – and a Missing Woman’s Name
Investigators found guns, fake IDs and chemicals at the home, while testing a significant amount of blood for possible ties to missing women.
- On June 19, police stopped 44-year-old Eugene Horsch near Independence National Historic Park, triggering a sprawling investigation that focused on his home on the 400 block of West Chew Avenue in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.
- A search of the home uncovered a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, fake federal identification, and more than 120 pieces of ballistic evidence, raising concerns about potential links to missing women Amy McHale and Blair Tonzelli.
- Officials found a note mentioning serial killer Ted Bundy inside the home, while investigative reporter Barbara Laker reported that authorities discovered a 'significant amount' of blood currently undergoing testing to determine if it is human.
- Defense attorney Jerry Brown plans to enter not guilty pleas, stating police are "barking up the wrong tree," while the family of McHale expressed fears about her past connection to the home before she disappeared nearly 10 years ago.
- Detectives plan to excavate the yard for evidence of additional crimes, and Horsch is scheduled to appear in court on July 6 to face federal felony firearm possession charges and municipal drug and weapons violations.
