  "account": "Police in Philadelphia have launched a death investigation following the discovery of images and videos that appear to show the bodies of two missing women. The footage was recovered from the home of 44-year-old Eugene Horsch, who has been in custody since June on charges related to possessing firearms and counterfeit DEA and FBI credentials. Horsch is not facing any new charges as of Wednesday. At a press briefing on Wednesday, Philadelphia Police Inspector Ray Evers announced that a review of digital evidence revealed images and videos that appeared to depict two deceased women, identified as Maribel Fresses and Gabriella Amarando. Fresses went missing in 2018 at the age of 27, while Amarando disappeared in 2012 when she was 22. Evers cautioned that he would not provide further details on the images, stating they are \"real dark.\" The investigation has involved over 95 search warrants, and the FBI is assisting in the probe. Approximately 600,000 images and 70,000 videos were recovered from hard drives at the residence. Evers emphasized that the sheer volume of digital evidence makes this a new territory for the Philadelphia homicide unit, as they typically deal with cases involving bodies or body parts. He described the investigation as unprecedented and predicted it would take considerable time to unravel.",
