    Amy McHale (44) missing from Philadelphia, PA since 6/13/16

    https://disappearedblog.com/amy-mchale

    44 year old Amy McHale was last seen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on June 13, 2016. She was last seen along Broad and Olney Avenues around 10:00 pm.
    Disappearance

    On June 13, 2016, Amy McHale was last seen by family when she left her mother’s house in south Philadelphia. Around 10:00 pm, she was last seen along Broad and Olney Avenues, wearing shorts and a tank top.

    In the early morning hours of June 14, 2016, Amy called her daughter and left a voicemail, saying she was going to be staying at her ex-husbands house, which is something she would do from time to time.

    When her daughter tried to call Amy back it went straight to voicemail. She hasn’t been heard from since.

    Amy’s ex-husband says she had been at his home on the night of June 13th, but that she was gone when he woke up the next morning.

    vestigators are trying to determine what activities were taking place inside an Olney home after authorities discovered chemicals, firearms, ammunition and fake IDs.

    Eugene Horsch, 44, is being held on drug and firearms charges following a multi-agency investigation involving the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI.

    Authorities spent Friday searching Horsch's home on the 400 block of West Chew Avenue, where Chopper 6 showed investigators wearing hazmat suits entering the property as police secured the neighborhood.
    Investigators also found what Vanore described as a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, though police have not determined its purpose.

    "We just don't know what he was doing," Vanore said. "He's producing something. If he's making something, if he's irrigating something, we don't know."

    Vanore said detectives are continuing to search the property, including an area near a sump pump, but emphasized that no human remains have been found.
    The investigation stems from an encounter on June 19 at Independence Mall, where park rangers encountered Horsch and a woman inside a vehicle. Police said Horsch was carrying fake Drug Enforcement Administration credentials, while the woman possessed a fake identification card bearing the name of a missing person.

    The developments drew the attention of the family of Amy McHale, who disappeared in 2016 after she was last seen at the West Chew Avenue home.

    McHale had previously been married to Horsch's late father.

    I think from the beginning it was pretty obvious her ex or his dad did something to her. I'm not sure why it took this long to look into it further.

    Investigators discovered a bizarre and twisted scene inside the Philadelphia home of a felon they’re probing over possible links to at least two missing women — including a stockpile of dangerous chemicals, a 55-gallon drum, several urns, hidden compartments, multiple guns and a creepy handwritten letter with references to Ted Bundy.
    The investigation was sparked when a US park ranger overheard an argument between Horsch and his girlfriend in a parked car near Independence Hall in Old City on June 19, police said.

    After the girlfriend was heard saying, “You’re going to hurt me,” the ranger decided to check on the couple and informed other law enforcement agencies who came to the scene.

    Authorities then discovered that Horsch was allegedly carrying a fake Drug Enforcement Administration badge, a switchblade, and two guns with “obliterated serial numbers,” Vanore told reporters.

    Horsch’s girlfriend also had a fake ID with her photo on it — but with a name belonging to a woman who had been reported missing.

    The woman whose name was on the fake ID was reported missing in February 2023 from the Kensington area, sources told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Cops have not yet publicly identified her.

    The girlfriend later told police that Horsch had given her the ID to use because she had outstanding arrest warrants. Though she didn’t know the missing woman, she thought something bad may have happened to her, the local outlet reported.
    I'm going to have to dig to see if I can figure out who the 2nd missing woman is.

    I'm pretty sure the 2nd woman they are talking about is Blair Tonzelli.

    Agree. I found this article.

    Blair Tonzelli had been missing from Kensington for more than three years when her name turned up somewhere unexpected: on the fake ID of a woman in the backseat of a car parked outside Independence Hall.

    The woman showed the ID to U.S. Park Police on June 19 after they found her and Eugene Albert Horsch, 44, seated in his black BMW, with drug paraphernalia, guns and knives stashed in the car, according to police records.

    That encounter sparked a sprawling investigation into Horsch and an ongoing search of his Olney home for connections to Tonzelli and at least one other missing woman. Amy McHale — the ex-wife of Raymond Horsch, Eugene’s father — was last seen at the Horsch property on West Chew Avenue in 2016.
    Tonzelli was 35 when a friend reported her missing in early 2023. Police records now link her to Horsch following his arrest during the car stop.

    The woman told police that Tonzelli was a “home healthcare aid” who’d worked in Horsch’s Olney house, according to the records.

    She believed Tonzelli and Horsch had a disagreement over money at one point, the records say, and that he still had access to a CashApp account under Tonzelli’s name.

    So it's looking more and more like this guy may be a serial killer. I wonder if there are any other missing women tied to him?

    Here's a little more about the note found in the house.

    Police remained at the home Monday in case investigators needed to retrieve more evidence, Vanore said, adding there was no threat to the public.

    Among the items seized was a piece of writing about serial killer Ted Bundy that referenced zip ties and a drum, a source familiar with the investigation told NBC10. The note also mentioned killings and “trash that needs to go.” It remains unclear who wrote it.
