The House That Was Always Watching
When a U.S. Park Ranger stopped an illegally parked BMW near Independence Mall in June 2026, he had no idea he was about to crack open one of the most disturbing missing-persons investigations Philadelphia has seen in a decade. The ID card in the passenger's hand belonged to a woman who'd been missing since 2023, a woman whose photo, police would later learn, had sat on a public website for months after she vanished.
In this episode, Find Me traces the arrest back to its source: a decaying rowhome on West Chew Avenue, the man who built his public identity around violence and called it art, and the federal case now unfolding around his son, who has not been charged in any disappearance. We lay out exactly what's been charged, what hasn't, and what a million recovered files are only beginning to reveal. This is where the story starts. It does not end here.
Content warning: this episode discusses violence against women, addiction, exploitation, and disappearance. Listener discretion advised.
