PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Investigators brought in a construction crew with heavy machinery on Tuesday to dig up the yards at the “house of horrors” in Olney that’s connected to the disappearance of at least seven women.
Investigators are doing all they can to find clues at the Chew Avenue house related to the deaths of five women and the search for at least two others.
They sprayed luminol in the house the day before, a chemical used to detect traces of blood that can’t be seen with the naked eye. When exposed to the chemical, those spots will emit a blue glow.
The FBI and Philly police are making sure no stone is left unturned as they search the entire property for clues connected to the disappearance of seven women, five presumed to be dead.
Cadaver dogs have been used as well, but human remains have not been found.
During a previous search of the house, police found more than 1 million pieces of digital evidence. They have only scoured through about a third of it so far.
The home belongs to Eugene Horsch, the son of the late R.C. Horsch, who is seen in pictures and videos with the women — alive at first, and later dead.
R.C. Horsch died last year, and the home is now owned by Eugene Horsch, who is under federal investigation for allegedly having fake federal IDs, drugs and weapons.
He has not been charged with anything related to the dead or missing women.
