Seven women. One house. A million files. And a man who spent decades blurring the line between art and evidence.
Before Philadelphia police ever stood at a podium, Raymond "R.C." Horsch was a National Merit Scholar from Bucks County. He later became a fugitive living under aliases in New Zealand, and then a self-published pornographer who wrote openly about a "caring, empathetic serial killer." In Part 2, Find Me goes back to the beginning of his life, including a 1985 psychological evaluation that described him as grandiose, controlling, and mistrustful, and asks what the system did with that warning.
Then we say the names. Amy McHale. Gabrielle Amarando. Maribel Fresses. Nicole Fusaro. Blair Tonzelli. And two women whose names have not been made public. Police say five of the seven are believed dead, and no remains have been recovered. We tell each woman's story as a person, not a body count.
Raymond Horsch died in 2025 and was never charged with any homicide. His son Eugene is in federal custody on gun and fraud charges only, and investigators have said publicly that they have found no evidence connecting him to the missing or dead women.
