- 0:04Speaker 2: I'm Sydney Silvani. A childhood friend of a Philadelphia man
- 0:08Speaker 2: at the center of an investigation involving seven missing women
- 0:12Speaker 2: is speaking out after police uncovered a nightmare inside a
- 0:15Speaker 2: local residence. Authorities searched the only home shared by Eugene
- 0:19Speaker 2: Horsch and his late father, pornographic filmmaker Raymond Horsch, finding
- 0:24Speaker 2: over one million photos and videos of women. Footage depicts
- 0:28Speaker 2: four missing women appearing lifeless, while another video shows what
- 0:32Speaker 2: may have happened to a fifth victim. As Philadelphia Police
- 0:35Speaker 2: Department Deputy Commissioner Frank Venore explained during a CBS broadcast
- 0:40Speaker 2: press conference, investigators are deeply concerned about the women identified
- 0:44Speaker 2: inside the home.
- 0:45Speaker 3: There were two other images, not videos, but images that
- 0:48Speaker 3: we recover of females. One's a 25-year-old female that we've
- 0:52Speaker 3: identified that is like the first two, appears to be
- 0:56Speaker 3: unconscious in the video with some type of injury. There's
- 0:59Speaker 3: also an unknown female that we haven't identified yet in
- 1:05Speaker 3: the same type of state as the first three. So
- 1:08Speaker 3: that's five altogether that we've had in this house that
- 1:13Speaker 3: we're concerned about.
- 1:15Speaker 2: While Eugene Horsch has not been charged with crimes related
- 1:18Speaker 2: to the missing women, and his attorney categorically denies involvement
- 1:22Speaker 2: in any disappearances, childhood friend Jeremy Perry told WPVI about
- 1:27Speaker 2: disturbing details he remembers from growing up with Eugene at
- 1:31Speaker 2: the family's previous residence in Chalfont.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I can remember, you know, blue 55-gallon drums and The garage,
- 1:40Speaker 1: there was more in the shed in the back corner
- 1:42Speaker 1: of the property as well. Probably 20 to 30 barrels
- 1:46Speaker 1: in there too.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Perry told WPVI he was not suspicious of Raymond at
- 1:50Speaker 2: the time, occasionally visiting his pizza restaurant. However, after the
- 1:55Speaker 2: home burned down, Raymond rebuilt the interior himself, including an
- 1:59Speaker 2: unusual structural addition.
- 2:01Speaker 1: When they were rebuilding the house, I remember when we
- 2:04Speaker 1: would run through the foundation and they had put a
- 2:07Speaker 1: big steel door down there.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Perry noted Raymond completed the framing work before he and
- 2:12Speaker 2: Eugene lost touch. The investigation began after federal park rangers
- 2:17Speaker 2: approached Eugene near Independence Hall for illegal parking and found
- 2:21Speaker 2: a woman carrying identification belonging to Blair Tonzelli, missing since 2023.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Identified missing women seen on video include Tonzelli, Maribel Fresas,
- 2:32Speaker 2: Gabrielle Armando, Nicole Fusaro, and Amy McHale, Raymond's ex-wife. Fusaro
- 2:38Speaker 2: appeared naked and handcuffed to a bed, while others appeared
- 2:41Speaker 2: unconscious and injured. Officers seized drugs, firearms, fake credentials, chemical containers,
- 2:48Speaker 2: and five urns with cremated remains. FBI agents have reviewed
- 2:52Speaker 2: about 30 percent of the files, and no homicide charges
- 2:56Speaker 2: have been announced. More crime and justice news after this.
- 3:01Speaker 2: In Pinellas County, Florida, an unusual murder trial is underway
- 3:05Speaker 2: as 47-year-old plastic surgeon Dr. Tomasz Kozowski represents himself against
- 3:10Speaker 2: first-degree murder charges carrying the death penalty. Kozowski stands accused
- 3:14Speaker 2: of killing attorney Stephen Causey, who represented corporate clients opposing
- 3:18Speaker 2: Kozowski in a civil lawsuit since 2019. Prosecutors state Kozelski
- 3:23Speaker 2: harbored deep hostility toward Kazi, once confronting him in a
- 3:27Speaker 2: restroom to call him a scumbag. Kazi's husband, Michael Montgomery,
- 3:31Speaker 2: had suggested arranging on-site security due to safety concerns. On
- 3:36Speaker 2: March 21, 2023, Kazi vanished from his office restroom 10
- 3:40Speaker 2: minutes before a scheduled teleconference, leaving behind his phone, keys,
- 3:44Speaker 2: and wallet, alongside spattered blood. Security footage captured a suspect
- 3:49Speaker 2: arriving in a silver Toyota Tundra, carrying a large box
- 3:53Speaker 2: inside and dragging out a heavy wagon covered with a
- 3:56Speaker 2: reddish blanket. Flock cameras spotted the truck with what appeared
- 3:59Speaker 2: to be a human body under a blanket in the bed.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Prosecutors revealed Kozowski had previously stalked Kazi, photographing his car
- 4:07Speaker 2: and hiding in an office utility closet a week earlier
- 4:10Speaker 2: where his fingerprints were recovered. A search of Kozowski's home
- 4:14Speaker 2: revealed Kazi's DNA in the truck and garage, a bloody
- 4:17Speaker 2: ballistic vest, cash, passports, and a murder bag containing a taser,
- 4:22Speaker 2: brass knuckles, ski masks, and succinylcholine, a paralytic drug. Squad
- 4:27Speaker 2: car footage showed Kozowski slurping his fingers and using his
- 4:31Speaker 2: teeth to destroy evidence under his nails. Prosecutors argue Kozowski
- 4:36Speaker 2: dumped Kazi's body in an Everglades dumpster. A garbage driver
- 4:39Speaker 2: recalled a vile stench that forced him to purchase air freshener,
- 4:43Speaker 2: unaware he was transporting decaying remains later buried beneath 6,000
- 4:48Speaker 2: tons of trash at the Collier County landfill. Kozowski waived
- 4:51Speaker 2: a jury trial, leaving Judge Joseph Ballone to decide his fate.
- 4:56Speaker 2: In South Bend, Indiana, police are searching for a gunman
- 4:59Speaker 2: following a post-Hailgate shooting near Notre Dame's campus Saturday evening.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Around 7.30, as crowds filed out toward Eddy Street Commons,
- 5:07Speaker 2: Notre Dame police reported an armed male pointing a firearm
- 5:10Speaker 2: at pedestrians. South Bend police responded, but an initial suspect
- 5:15Speaker 2: matching the description was unarmed. Suddenly, a single gunshot rang
- 5:19Speaker 2: out near Eddy Street and Angela Boulevard. The bullet struck
- 5:22Speaker 2: a woman in the leg and hit an officer with
- 5:24Speaker 2: ricochet shrapnel. Both victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and
- 5:28Speaker 2: are expected to recover fully. Authorities evacuated nearby businesses and
- 5:33Speaker 2: locked down the commercial area while searching for the suspect.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Police described the at-large shooter as a heavyset black male
- 5:39Speaker 2: with dreadlocks, wearing blue shorts, a black shirt with a
- 5:42Speaker 2: red and blue design, and missing one shoe. A separate
- 5:46Speaker 2: shooting one mile away left two dead, though police state
- 5:49Speaker 2: there is no indication the incidents are related. For more
