Philadelphia police have identified a fifth missing woman connected to a sprawling investigation into a Philadelphia home linked to deceased adult filmmaker Raymond 'RC' Horsch and his son, Eugene Horsch.
Police confirm Nicole Fusaro, who disappeared in 2018 at age 27, is the latest victim tied to the case. Investigators allege Fusaro appears in a video recovered from Horsch’s home in June, where she is allegedly seen being strangled to death. The footage has not been officially released, and Fusaro’s body has not been recovered. Her cousin, Jonathan Halloran-Koren, confirmed to local media that investigators told the family they believe the woman in the video is Fusaro.
The investigation centers on the Olney neighborhood home where police found over one million digital files, including videos, photographs, and writings, during a search of the property. The FBI and Philadelphia Police are scheduled to hold a joint press conference at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday to provide updates on the case.
Four other missing women have previously been linked to the Horsch home: Blair Tonzelli (missing since 2023), Gabrielle Amarando, Maribel Fresses, and Amy McHale. Police have stated they believe at least three of these women are deceased, raising concerns about a potential serial killer investigation.
Background: The Horsch Family and the Investigation
Raymond 'RC' Horsch, who died in 2023 at age 82, was known for producing snuff films and writing erotic, sadomasochistic literature. His son, Eugene Horsch, 44, was arrested in June 2026 after Philadelphia police pulled him over near Independence Mall. Officers found two handguns, over $8,000 in illegal drugs, and a fake DEA badge in his vehicle. A woman in the car provided identification for missing 35-year-old Blair Tonzelli, which triggered the broader investigation into the Horsch home.
Neighbors in Chalfont, Bucks County—where the Horsch family lived before moving to Philadelphia—described Raymond Horsch as reclusive and unsettling. Kimberly Rissinger, a longtime neighbor, recalled that Horsch would frequently leave his home late at night, often bringing women back with him. Another neighbor, Greg Rissinger, described Eugene as a child during the time his father was active, though he did not provide further details about his involvement.
Inside the Philadelphia home, investigators uncovered vats of chemicals, writings referencing serial killers, and disturbing videos allegedly featuring Raymond Horsch abusing women. The FBI and Philadelphia Police have not yet disclosed the full scope of the evidence or whether additional victims may be connected to the case.
Ongoing Developments and Unanswered Questions
While Fusaro’s identification marks a significant development, key details remain unconfirmed. Police have not officially verified the woman in the video as Fusaro, and her body has not been recovered. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities reviewing the over one million digital files recovered from the home.
Fusaro’s family has been meeting with Philadelphia police, and her cousin has expressed grief and frustration over the lack of answers. “Nicole was a beautiful, kindhearted woman who deserved so much better than what happened to her,” Halloran-Koren told WPVI. “She will forever be loved and missed by her family and friends.”
The press conference scheduled for Wednesday is expected to provide further clarity on the investigation, including whether additional victims or evidence will be identified. Authorities have not yet indicated whether charges will be filed or if the case will expand beyond the Horsch family.
