A "death investigation" | The Olney House, Part I

from Gone Cold: Philadelphia Unsolved Murders

The house was a powder keg of incriminating, suspicious evidence. And there was a lot of it - bizarre items like chemical vats and urns, and tens of thousands of macabre files on hard drives. As one official described the material, "It's dark. Very dark." Months after launching an exhaustive search of a twin brick residence on a quiet block in North Philadelphia shared by a man and his late pornographer father, law enforcement in mid-August was finally ready to share a massive breakthrough - two women missing for years had been identified on video footage found in the home. The connection was strong enough to classify the case as a "death investigation," with officials foreshadowing this latest update was just the beginning. Join KYW Newsradio Crime & Justice Reporter and Gone Cold podcast host Kristen Johanson as she sets the table for this extraordinary case, explaining what investigators know and don't know. Check back for future installments in this ongoing limited series. Philadelphia police encourage anyone with information about the house at 417 West Chew Avenue, or the men associated with it, Eugene Horsch and Raymond Charles Horsch, to come forward. The department tip line is 215-686-TIPS (8477). The direct line to the homicide unit is 215-686-3334.
