EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: PHILADELPHIA — Police again returned to a home in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood, where they collected “glass vials,” a vacuum cleaner, workout equipment and other items, photographs show.
This after city police said they recovered more than a million pieces of digital evidence from the house, described as a “house of horrors” in some reports.
It belonged to a pornographer named Raymond “RC” Horsch, who died last year at age 82.

An evidence bag was photographed with a partially readable label. It listed “glass bottles,” a “table,” as well as references to a trash can and drawers.
Investigators were also seen pulling out a rowing machine and a vacuum cleaner among boxes and bags of evidence packed Monday.

“The investigation remains active and ongoing,” a Philadelphia police spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “Additional information will be released as it becomes available and can be made public.”
Horsch specialized in sadistic themes — some of which may ultimately turn out to be nonfiction after investigators said evidence collected at the home was linked to seven separate cases involving missing women.

Philadelphia police visited the building several times after the June arrest of his 44-year-old son, Eugene Horsch, on drug, gun and counterfeiting charges.
During a search of the house after his arrest, police allegedly found “snuff” videos showing several missing women, a drum of chemicals hooked up to the water system and five urns containing what police said may be human ashes.

“The fact that the father was involved in the pornography industry indicates that there may have been, in addition to the sadistic motivations that we usually see in serial killings, the distribution of so-called snuff films,” he previously told Fox News Digital.

The elder Horsch was a convicted methamphetamine producer and author of sexually explicit and violent books. In one of them, 2014’s “Empathy,” there is a chapter about dissolving the body of a murdered woman with boiling chemicals.
