Dawn’s Big Three begins with a deeper pass through the Delaware hunting death. We discuss the GoFundMe for Santos Maria Chilel Soto’s family, plans to return her body to Guatemala, questions about the land where she was shot and why state police continue seeking witnesses. The next story moves to Roxborough, where police say a referee-spectator fight at a youth football game spills into the street before a gunshot is fired; no injuries are reported.
The largest part of the hour centers on the investigation connected to Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his son Eugene Horsch. We discuss Raymond Horsch’s reported access to a Kensington crematorium tied to a prior illegal body-parts case, the huge volume of images and videos investigators are reviewing, missing women linked to recovered material, and a childhood friend’s account of the Horsch family’s Bucks County property. No bodies have been recovered, and Eugene Horsch has not been charged in the disappearances.
Dawn’s Big Three finishes with privately funded homeownership reparations grants in Germantown. Green Street Friends Meeting, working with birdSEED, pledges $50,000 a year for 10 years to support Black homebuyers, and we debate the program specifically as private community funding. We also recognize Philadelphia’s 71st Hero Thrill Show and its support for children of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty before peach vodka and Dry January give us one last studio roast.
