The ‘Killadelphia’ House of Horrors

Posted on | September 17, 2026 | No Comments

Perhaps the headline is somewhat misleading because basically anywhere in Philadelphia is horrible, but 417 Chew Avenue is particularly bad, even by Philadelphia standards. The disappearances of at least five women — at least two of whom were murdered, police believe — are connected to the house, which was home to the late pornographer Raymond Horsch. He died last year at age 82.

The more you read about Raymond Horsch, the less surprised you are by the “House of Horrors” situation that police have stumbled onto at the home where he lived with his 44-year-old son Eugene. The rotten fruit did not fall far from the poisoned tree:

At least five women appear lifeless in images recovered from an Olney house linked to several missing people, officials said.
Philadelphia police and the FBI are still sifting through over 1 million photographs and videos seized from 417 Chew Ave., the home of the late pornographer Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his son Eugene Horsch. But they have now isolated images in which five women appear to be unconscious. While no bodies have been discovered, investigators believe at least two of the victims are dead.
Those women were previously identified as Maribel Fressess and Gabrielle Amarando. Their names were released at news conference last month, during which police described “real dark” videos of the women where they initially appear alive and, later, presumably deceased. There are at least three other women in the trove of images depicted in similarly disturbing fashion, officials said Wednesday. They have identified two of the women, but declined to disclose their names. Another remains unidentified.
Police described one video with metadata from 2017 that depicts R.C. Horsch with a 27-year-old woman. They are both apparently nude and filmed with two cameras, one controlled by Horsch and the other mounted somewhere else in the room. In the footage, the woman uses narcotics and then receives money from Horsch, who handcuffs her to a bed. He then places a zip-tie around her neck and she “appears to be lifeless,” Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said.
Vanore said the other woman they identified was 25 years old at the time she appeared in the images. He offered no other details on her background.
The investigation has identified 58 individuals in the pictures and videos, Vanore added, but most of them are still alive. Police have already spoken to 16 people and have interviews scheduled with another 25. Another 10 individuals overdosed, but not at the Chew Avenue house.
Investigators still have not uncovered corroborating evidence that “would prove what we think,” Vanore said, and thousands of files have yet to be examined. FBI Special Agent Wayne Jacobs estimated their review is 30% complete.
“The objective here is thoroughness, not simply speed,” he said.
The complicated case has been ongoing since June 19, when a U.S. Park Police ranger approached Eugene Horsch, who was parked with a female passenger in a black BMW on Market Street. The ranger discovered two illegal firearms and about $8,000 in illegal drugs in the car. Horsch produced credentials falsely identifying himself as a Drug Enforcement Administration official, investigators say, while the woman showed an ID belonging to a missing person.
This evidence led the DEA, FBI and Philadelphia police to Horsch’s home at 417 Chew Ave., where the team found evidence of a drug grow operation, unidentified chemicals, five urns containing ashes and numerous hard drives, flash drives, DVRs, computers and phones with the images currently under review. Eugene Horsch, currently in federal custody on weapons and narcotics charges, has not been linked to any of the pictures or videos at this time.
But his home is now connected with several missing women. Horsch’s companion had an ID belonging to Blair Tonzelli, who disappeared in 2023. His father’s ex-wife Amy McHale was last seen at the residence before she vanished in 2016. Fressess and Amarando had been missing since 2018 and 2012, respectively. The 27-year-old in the newest video was also reported missing, Vanore said.
Police believe three of the urns contain the remains of R.C. Horsch, his sister and a friend. They have not identified the ashes in the other two vessels.
Officials plan to return to the Olney home in late September to continue searching for evidence.

Eugene Horsch, in federal custody

Police suspect the bodies of some victims may have been dissolved:

Detectives obtained search warrants specifically seeking evidence of an illegal, homemade “wet cremation” setup. Investigators suspected that a basement lab equipped with chemicals and a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines was being used to covertly dissolve human remains to destroy evidence of foul play.
While police recovered digital evidence showing at least two missing women deceased inside the home, their physical bodies have not been found. Authorities excavated the property and sewer lines looking for chemical and forensic evidence of this process. As of late 2026, [Eugene] Horsch remains in federal custody on firearms and counterfeit credential charges, but has not yet been formally charged with homicide.

Ick. Everything about this case is just ick.

LARRY KRASNER IS COOKED! Philly D.A. Could Face Federal Charges

Posted on | September 15, 2026 | No Comments

NEVER LIE TO THE JUDGE! On any list of “Things a Lawyer Should Never Do,” lying to the judge must always be No. 1. Let me summarize this complex story as briefly as possible: With financial backing from George Soros, Larry Krasner became Philadelphia’s District Attorney in 2018, and immediately instituted a policy of leniency, which he sought to make retroactive by cooperating with the Innocence Project to overturn previous convictions. Among the cases was that of Dennis Johnson, who was 23 years old in August 2007 when he murdered Kenyatta Smith in a Philadelphia convenience store. Backed by the Innocence Project, Johnson sought to have his conviction overturned and, after Krasner was elected, the D.A.’s office was eager to cooperate with Johnson.

A junior staffer in the office was assigned to write a brief conceding the case to Johnson, essentially admitting that previous prosecutors had deprived Johnson of his constitutional rights. However, because Krasner’s handling of such cases had already raised questions (see this long story here), the federal judge overseeing Johnson’s case ordered a hearing — causing “panic” in Krasner’s office.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”:

A federal judge said Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner may have broken the law while overseeing a contentious post-conviction case, and he said he referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate whether Krasner should be charged with crimes including conspiracy or obstruction of justice.
U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond made those stunning statements in a memorandum in which he also ruled that Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, could not longer participate in the case — a matter in which a man is seeking to have his murder conviction overturned.
Diamond wrote that over the past several months, as he conducted hearings to learn more about how attorneys in DA’s office handled that case, testimony from some of Krasner’s staffers revealed actions by Krasner and Stiegler that Diamond called “troubling,” “disturbing” — and potentially illegal.
Those actions, he wrote, included pressuring other staffers to take steps to protect Stiegler and blame one of his subordinates; urging staffers to lie to Diamond in court; and threatening “consequences” for those who did not follow Krasner’s orders.
“I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia’s highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law,” Diamond wrote. “In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and Stiegler to this District’s United States Attorney’s Office for investigation and other appropriate action.”
Krasner did not provide an immediate comment Tuesday, nor did a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which would have to determine whether or not to open an investigation or file charges. Diamond, as a judge, cannot do so himself.
The filing was the latest explosive development in the case, which is centered around Dennis Johnson’s 2009 conviction for second-degree murder. Johnson has been fighting to have that conviction overturned, and the matter before Diamond began years ago as a routine petition in federal court.
But in recent months, the case has led to a series of unusual revelations about the inner workings of the district attorney’s office as various lawyers handled the case.
Diamond, in his filing Tuesday, said those assertions were not only proof of significant internal disagreements — but also “evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Krasner and Stiegler.”

Krasner is completely cooked! He’s finished! Done!

Here’s a thread laying out all the mind-boggling (and possibly criminal) malpractice in this case by Krasner’s office:

Ace of Spades has a good rundown here. I am not a lawyer, and understand that Larry Krasner is “presumed innocent,” yadda yadda yadda, but based on my four decades of experience as a journalist, it is my opinion that Krasner is guilty — GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

Aspiring Rapper Update: The Utterly Unsurprising Death of ‘BloodHound Q50’

Posted on | September 14, 2026 | No Comments

No intelligent person would have predicted a long life for Mikquale Cooper, a/k/a “BloodHound Q50.” In all honesty, it was surprising that Cooper lived to be 22 years old before he got riddled with bullets early Sunday morning on the south side of Chicago. Cooper was a practitioner of what is known as “drill rap,” which involves urban gangsters bragging about their crimes and threatening to murder their rivals:

Drill music . . . is a subgenre of hip-hop music with sonic origins in trap music and lyrical origins in gangsta rap. It began in Chicag0 . . . in the early 2010s. Drill lyricism is noted for its ominous, confrontational nature, often including references to gang rivalries and various retaliatory incidents, sometimes murder, although the subgenre is thematically broader. Drill artists often address authentic, real-life conflicts, at times incorporating artistic expressions such as bravado, taunting, and mockery.
Early drill artists are typically noted for their associations with crime in Chicago, especially with the Black Disciples and Gangster Disciples.

So says Wikipedia. Because I’m neither tone deaf nor retarded, I don’t listen to the stuff myself, but Q50 was quite successful in the genre, having gotten millions of views on YouTube, and more than 400 million streams via online music platforms. Q50 released two albums, “Long Live My Brudda He Prolly Kilt Yo Brudda” and “Get Back Or Die Trying.” Based on YouTube views, however, his greatest success was “Triple 3,” featuring Q50 with two of his buddies, Jeffery Lamar Harris Jr. (a/k/a “BloodHound Lil Jeff”) and Asyrion Malik Hogan (a/k/a “Lil Scoom89”).

Q50 brandishes a pistol in ‘Triple 3’ video

That video has more than 34 million views, but by the time it was released to YouTube (July 14, 2024), both “Lil Jeff” and “Lil Scoom” had been shot to death. “Lil Jeff” was killed June 8, 2024, and surveillance video showed that he lost a gunfight — he went hunting for one of his enemies, but ended up getting shot himself. “Lil Scoom” was shot to death a month later, after an argument escalated to gunfire.

British hiphop aficionado Ross Callum did a documentary about “Lil Jeff,” noting that the rapper claimed to have killed 11 people. Callum then followed up with a documentary about Q50, who claimed to have killed eight people, which would have been 10, he said, except that two survived their shootings. In other words, these guys were basically serial killers, and their murderous reputations actually made them more popular among the tone-deaf retards who listen to this stuff.

Q50 finally got his comeuppance Sunday morning, around 4 a.m.:

Chicago rapper BloodHound Q50 was killed in a brutal early-morning ambush in Chicago — with six masked gunmen allegedly surrounding the Tesla he was in and opening fire.
Q50 — whose real name was Mikquale T. Cooper — was behind the wheel of a white Tesla parked at a BP gas station in Chicago’s Fuller Park neighborhood around 4 AM Sunday when he was gunned down, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Police say the 22-year-old had just arrived when a black Infiniti carrying two masked people pulled up alongside him. Around the same time, a silver Honda Accord with four people inside reportedly arrived at another pump.
After the rapper and a 29-year-old female passenger went inside the gas station, one of the masked individuals allegedly went over to the Honda and retrieved objects from inside.
The woman then left the store and drove the Tesla to the store entrance. She got out of the car and let Q50 get behind the wheel. That’s when authorities say the six suspects made their move.
According to the report, two masked gunmen from the Infiniti and four others from the Honda allegedly approached the Tesla and opened fire … striking Q50 in the chest and shoulder. Chicago Fire Department personnel responded, but Q50 was pronounced dead at approximately 4:35 AM, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Surveillance video shows that the killers were using the same machine-gun modified Glocks that Q50 favored for his own crimes. (Live by the switch, die by the switch.) Crime-scene markers suggest nearly 70 shots were fired, and the shooters were not very good at concealing their identities, because online sleuths quickly ID’d them based on their own social media postings. Cops could easily bust these guys.

On the other hand, why bother arresting the killers? It’s not like Q50 was an innocent bystander. He had killed many times before, and would have killed again, if he hadn’t been killed himself. “Self-cleaning oven,” as the cops in Chicago call such a situation, and as long as it’s just gang-bangers killing other gang-bangers, does anyone really care? Q50’s death might be lamented by the kind of tone-deaf retards who listen to “drill,” but that’s it. The rest of us are indifferent, at best. Nothing of value was lost.

Rule 5 Sunday: SecTreas Taking The Long Position?

Posted on | September 14, 2026 | No Comments

Recently a marketing genius on X yclept Mike Alfred came up with a notion reminiscent of the old Big Johnson Brokerage T-shirts.* He proposed an advertising campaign for Treasury Bonds featuring the extremely attractive Sydney Sweeney. In response, I proposed that they put Ms. Sweeney on the $100 Savings Bonds, resume printing said bonds on paper, and watch them sell out in a week. Secretary Bessent may be gay, but he’s a long way from stupid, and one hopes he sees the merit in harnessing Ms. Sweeney’s beauty in the national interest.

FMJRA 2.0: Can’t Blame The Offense

Posted on | September 13, 2026 | No Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

In previous seasons, we’ve had good starting pitching, an okay bullpen, and terrible offense. This season, we have a good offense for once, a fine bullpen…and a miserable starting rotation.* Still, we managed a split in our two-game series against the Orioles before coming home to RFK and dropping two of three to the Cubs. At least we won one at home for once. This leaves us tied with the Red Sox at 10-18, 4 1/2 games behind the Twins.
