5 missing women are linked to Olney home in Philadelphia. Here's what we know.

Inside the home, owned by Eugene Horsch and connected to his father, R.C. Horsch, authorities have found a trove of digital images, a so-called laboratory of chemicals and a small marijuana grow operation.

At least five women who have been missing for years are believed to be linked to a home in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood. The women, whose identities are Gabrielle Amarando, Maribel Fresses, Nicole Fusaro, Amy McHale, and Blair Tonzelli, were last seen with the home's owner, Eugene Horsch. Police discovered a large number of digital images of women that appeared to have been taken at the home, along with dangerous chemicals and a small marijuana grow operation.

Eugene Horsch was arrested in June after being seen with a woman whose identification card was found to be forged. He faces charges related to the forged documents, along with drug and firearms charges. Inside the home, authorities also found a laboratory filled with chemicals, a 55-gallon drum connected to hoses and other piping, and over 1 million digital images.

Police have identified 58 people in the recovered images, of which 16 have been found alive but are not cooperating with investigators, 25 have been found alive and have interviews scheduled, and five women are seen in the images appearing to be injured or dead. Five urns containing human remains were also discovered, though no corroboration of any possible victims has been confirmed yet.
