What to know about women linked to Olney house investigation
As police continue to investigate disturbing evidence found in a North Philadelphia home, they’re missing something crucial — a body.
A months-long investigation into a North Philadelphia home has uncovered shocking, confusing and “dark” evidence, including hundreds of thousands of photos and videos, police say.
Not sure where to start? Here’s a breakdown of where the investigation began.
When was Eugene Horsch, Olney homeowner arrested?
The broader investigation was prompted following a traffic stop in Center City on June 19.
According to criminal complaint documents, a park ranger observed a vehicle, operated by Horsch, 44, parked in the area of Independence National Historical Park without a necessary police placard and next to a fire hydrant.
While approaching the vehicle, the ranger heard a female passenger say something to the effect of, “you’re going to hurt me.”
The ranger noticed sores, behaviors and paraphernalia associated with drug use in the vehicle, at which point he asked the man and woman for IDs.
The name on the female passenger’s identification, however, belonged to a missing person reported out of Philadelphia.
