A father and son linked to a Philadelphia investigation into seven missing women lived in New Britain Township for two decades, a Bucks County Courier Times report published Monday, Sept. 21, shows.

Raymond "R.C." Horsch and his son Eugene, 44, lived in a two-story home on Airey Avenue in New Britain Township before moving to the West Chew Avenue property in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood. Investigators searching that home have found five urns containing human remains and more than 1 million pieces of digital evidence.

Bucks County property records show Raymond Horsch purchased the Airey Avenue home for $137,500 in September 1989, two months after his wife, Anna, 39, died following a lengthy illness, according to the report. Eugene was 9 at the time.

Eugene Horsch attended Central Bucks West High School, but the district has no record of him graduating, Central Bucks School District spokesman Michael Petitti told the Courier Times.

As we reported Monday, former New Britain Township Police Chief Robert Scafidi arrested Raymond Horsch at the home in 2009. After a woman living in the home called 911, officers found a large-scale marijuana-growing operation in the basement, along with firearms, 25 pounds of gunpowder and sexual bondage devices. Bucks County initially charged Horsch with growing 455 marijuana plants. Scafidi told 6ABC the operation yielded nearly 200 plants; the discrepancy has not been explained.

The Philadelphia Bomb Squad removed the gunpowder. Officers also found pornography featuring women who appeared to be bleeding, according to the Courier Times.

"As part of the investigation, firearms were found … There were also IDs of various females," Scafidi told 6ABC on Sept. 17. "The DA's office took them and were going to follow up. I really don't know what happened after that."

Federal authorities took over the case and indicted Horsch on felony marijuana possession and firearms charges. In January 2011, he pleaded guilty and was later sentenced to 53 months in federal prison. He was released in June 2013, federal Bureau of Prisons records show.

The bank filed a foreclosure complaint on the New Britain home after Horsch stopped making mortgage payments in August 2009. In 2010, the federal government froze the property's title because the indictment made it subject to forfeiture, according to county court records. The month after his June 2013 prison release, the bank took possession and the home was sold.

Raymond Horsch also faced a 1997 theft charge in New Britain Township. Police alleged he cashed $187.19 in paychecks made out to his dead nephew. The outcome of that case is unclear.

Neighbors told ABC's Action News that Raymond Horsch would bring women to the New Britain home late at night. One neighbor described him as "creepy," someone residents avoided. Kids in the area called him "porno man," the Courier Times reported.

Neighbors also recalled seeing Amy McHale, Raymond Horsch's ex-wife and one of the seven women connected to the Philadelphia investigation, at the New Britain home. McHale was 44 when she was last seen in 2016 at the West Chew Avenue property, according to NBC Philadelphia.

Raymond Horsch died in 2025 at age 81. Eugene Horsch inherited the West Chew Avenue home from a great-aunt's estate in 2007, according to city property records cited by the Courier Times.

Eugene Horsch was arrested June 19 after a federal park ranger spotted a black BMW in a restricted area on Independence Mall. He allegedly presented fake DEA and FBI credentials, according to 6ABC. The search of the Olney home that followed uncovered the urns, a homemade basement laboratory, unidentified chemicals and the digital evidence trove.

Philadelphia police said at a Sept. 16 press conference that images of seven missing women were among the digital materials. Five appear alive in some images and unconscious or lifeless with visible injuries in others. Authorities said it remains unclear whether the images are real or staged. No bodies have been found.

Investigators have reviewed roughly 30 percent of the material, which includes more than 600,000 images, 70,000 videos and 10,000 pages of writing, FOX 29 reported. Authorities have not searched the former New Britain Township home. Eugene Horsch faces federal firearms and false-document charges, with a jury trial scheduled for January, according to NBC Philadelphia. Another search of the Olney property is planned for late September, according to FOX 29.
