Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / Bones Found: Philly Serial Killer “Snuff Film” Case
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Bombshell tonight. A bone dig? That's right. Bones just uncovered
- 0:07Speaker 1: and dug up in the backyard of the alleged Philly
- 0:12Speaker 1: serial killer in the snuff film case. Let that sink in.
- 0:18Speaker 1: We thought it was true. We believed it was true.
- 0:21Speaker 1: We find evidence of liquid cremation in the basement, but
- 0:26Speaker 1: now actual bones are excavated, discovered, dug up in the
- 0:33Speaker 1: backyard of the so-called Philly House of Horrors.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Good evening.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I want to
- 0:41Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Underground Snuff Film Network,
- 0:54Speaker 1: where pervs watch women get sexually tortured in and murdered
- 1:01Speaker 1: on camera.
- 1:03Speaker 3: I don't think we're at a point where we're able
- 1:05Speaker 3: to establish who knew what.
- 1:07Speaker 4: He turned his son into an evil person. You talk
- 1:09Speaker 4: about all the women who are dead. There were urns
- 1:14Speaker 4: in that house that they believe contained human remains.
- 1:20Speaker 5: The public might not understand the enormity of this.
- 1:23Speaker 6: I think the cops do, and I think the FBI
- 1:25Speaker 6: certainly does, that this could potentially be something Philadelphia or
- 1:29Speaker 6: maybe even the country hasn't seen yet.
- 1:32Speaker 1: What drove you to make this film?
- 1:36Speaker 5: Basically, I'm a sociopath, always have been, and it was
- 1:40Speaker 5: a nice way to express myself.
- 1:45Speaker 1: What makes you describe yourself as a sociopath?
- 1:48Speaker 5: I don't like, disagree with society. I think civilization is
- 1:53Speaker 5: the biggest evolutionary mistake ever made. I really never wanted
- 2:02Speaker 5: to consider myself as part of the human race. In fact,
- 2:06Speaker 5: I used to go around describing myself as a Neanderthal.
- 2:11Speaker 1: He described himself as a Neanderthal. Some would describe him
- 2:15Speaker 1: as a serial killer. Tonight, bones excavated in the backyard
- 2:21Speaker 1: of the so-called Philly House of Horrors. That from KYW
- 2:26Speaker 1: and WHYY. Joining us, an all-star panel, but first, straight
- 2:30Speaker 1: out to Dave Mack, Crime Stories investigative reporter. What can
- 2:33Speaker 1: you tell me about bones dug up in the backyard
- 2:38Speaker 1: of the House of Horrors and a safe that has
- 2:42Speaker 1: been discovered behind the walls? What Are they tearing the
- 2:46Speaker 1: home apart board by board, Dave Mack?
- 2:49Speaker 6: Yeah, Nancy, pretty much that's what they're doing. Let's start
- 2:52Speaker 6: with finding the bones. The excavation equipment that is operating
- 2:57Speaker 6: as we speak in the backyard of the Chew Avenue
- 3:01Speaker 6: house has found bones.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Now, Nancy.
- 3:06Speaker 6: They're looking for seven, possibly seven missing women that they
- 3:10Speaker 6: think are dead, they being law enforcement. And finding bones
- 3:14Speaker 6: in this backyard has put a shockwave through the investigation.
- 3:18Speaker 6: But while they're working outside, digging through and doing what
- 3:22Speaker 6: you would expect in an excavation, on the inside of
- 3:25Speaker 6: the house, plank by plank, wall by wall, the home
- 3:29Speaker 6: is being taken apart from the inside out. And as
- 3:33Speaker 6: they were pulling one of these walls out, Hidden behind
- 3:37Speaker 6: a wall inside the home, a safe has been found.
- 3:41Speaker 6: They're not telling us a lot of what was found
- 3:44Speaker 6: in the safe, but we know there were some documents.
- 3:47Speaker 6: But considering everything else that has been found thus far
- 3:50Speaker 6: in the investigation, Nancy, the contents of that safe might
- 3:54Speaker 6: be mind-blowing.
- 3:56Speaker 1: So you're telling me that multiple bones have been found
- 4:00Speaker 1: in the backyard of the so-called Philly House of Horrors.
- 4:03Speaker 1: What you were seeing earlier was from Fox 29. So,
- 4:07Speaker 1: Dave Mack, right now, they are about 50% through excavating
- 4:14Speaker 1: the backyard of the Feeley House of Horrors. Is that correct?
- 4:18Speaker 6: Absolutely correct.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Now, I know that they have discovered some animal bones,
- 4:23Speaker 1: but let me go straight out to special guest joining us, Dr.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Thomas Coyne. He is the chief medical examiner for District
- 4:32Speaker 1: 2 in Florida, also American. a toxicologist, forensic pathologist, neuropathologist.
- 4:39Speaker 7: Dr.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Coyne, I'm trying to determine as a JD, Juris Doctorate,
- 4:45Speaker 1: you of course are an MD, when you see a
- 4:47Speaker 1: human bone, for instance, a femur, it's clearly a human bone.
- 4:53Speaker 1: It's not an animal bone. Isn't that true?
- 4:58Speaker 8: The ME on scene should be able to examine the
- 5:01Speaker 8: bones that were present or identified or found and determine
- 5:04Speaker 8: based upon their size and physical characteristics as to whether
- 5:07Speaker 8: or not they are human.
- 5:08Speaker 9: Dr.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Thomas Coyne, let me try to refine my question. Wouldn't
- 5:13Speaker 1: it be obvious to the naked eye, for instance, if
- 5:15Speaker 1: you have a long human femur, a leg bone, you know,
- 5:20Speaker 1: leg bone connected to the hip bone, that one, or
- 5:24Speaker 1: a human skull? I believe even I, who just to J.D.,
- 5:32Speaker 1: could immediately identify that as a human artifact.
- 5:36Speaker 9: If you have long bones that are present, portions of
- 5:39Speaker 9: the skull, even vertebrae, you should be able to distinguish
- 5:43Speaker 9: human from non-human bones, just by virtue of the joint
- 5:47Speaker 9: structure and the actual type of bone itself. Yes, you
- 5:53Speaker 9: should be able to make that determination from physical examination.
- 5:56Speaker 10: Dr.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Thomas Coyne, In other cases that I have personally investigated
- 6:02Speaker 1: or covered, it takes a long time to get every
- 6:08Speaker 1: single bone out of the earth. There are, what, 250?
- 6:15Speaker 1: How many bones are in the human body?
- 6:16Speaker 10: A little over 200 bones in the human body.
- 6:18Speaker 9: And you should be able to distinguish, as we were
- 6:22Speaker 9: discussing before, if you have a whole entire fragment of
- 6:25Speaker 9: the bone, you should be able to distinguish that human
- 6:28Speaker 9: bone from a non-human bone, and you may be able
- 6:31Speaker 9: to somehow determine the developmental stage of that human bone.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Okay, Dr. Coyne, as much as I appreciate your medical jargon,
- 6:40Speaker 1: I would have a really long session with you because, see,
- 6:48Speaker 1: you're like warp speed ahead of the rest of us
- 6:51Speaker 1: when you are analyzing this. So when you say developmental stages,
- 6:58Speaker 1: You mean age. You can look at the bone sometimes
- 7:01Speaker 1: and determine the age of the victim. Is that what
- 7:04Speaker 1: you mean?
- 7:04Speaker 10: Correct.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Like developmental status?
- 7:07Speaker 7: Yes.
- 7:07Speaker 10: I apologize. So the difference between an adult.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And a child.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Don't.
- 7:10Speaker 8: Don't.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Please don't apologize. I'm forcing you to dummy down for me.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Okay?
- 7:15Speaker 1: So that said, it's a very difficult task. I don't
- 7:21Speaker 1: know if you've ever had to be on a human
- 7:23Speaker 1: excavation site, but You have? It's hard. Here's one that
- 7:32Speaker 1: everybody can relate to. The excavation finding over 200 bones
- 7:37Speaker 1: of little Kelly Anthony. That went through the night. It
- 7:40Speaker 1: went for days and days. And there, of course, had been,
- 7:43Speaker 1: as a lot of people call it, animal activity. In
- 7:47Speaker 1: other words, animals ripping apart the body and thereby eating
- 7:52Speaker 1: the flesh and scattering the bones. So it's a very
- 7:57Speaker 1: painstaking task. It's like an archaeological dig, really, is what
- 8:02Speaker 1: it is.
- 8:02Speaker 10: Yes.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Because some of the bones are, like, less than an inch. Like,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you get one digit of a little finger. And then
- 8:11Speaker 1: I believe you shook your head yes that you have
- 8:14Speaker 1: been on a human excavation site before. I have.
- 8:18Speaker 10: I've been on a few of them.
- 8:19Speaker 1: What is that like?
- 8:22Speaker 9: Painstaking, as you said, because you generally are dealing with bodies,
- 8:25Speaker 9: oftentimes bodies that are buried, if we're referring to, and
- 8:29Speaker 9: you have layers of sediment that will settle over time.
- 8:34Speaker 9: And with that layers of sediment, you may have the
- 8:36Speaker 9: body itself and the skeleton belonging to that body, but
- 8:40Speaker 9: you also have animals that are in the area that
- 8:41Speaker 9: are not only, you know, scavenging upon that skeleton, but
- 8:46Speaker 9: may also, for instance, drop a skeleton of a, of
- 8:48Speaker 9: a squirrel or other animals that get mixed in. And
- 8:51Speaker 9: so you'll have little bits of bone mixed in with twigs.
- 8:57Speaker 9: And when it's covered with dirt, it can be very
- 8:58Speaker 9: difficult sometimes to distinguish bone from non-bone. And so it's
- 9:02Speaker 9: a painstaking process as you're trying to clean away all
- 9:05Speaker 9: of that dirt and sediment, all of the debris from
- 9:08Speaker 9: the area, leaf debris, trying to isolate the individual bone
- 9:13Speaker 9: and delicately clean the bone without damaging the bone. And
- 9:16Speaker 9: that whole process takes days and days and days.
- 9:19Speaker 10: Quite painstaking.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Another thing, Dr. Thomas Coyne, that came to the forefront
- 9:25Speaker 1: of the national consciousness was the cult mom Lori Vallow case,
- 9:32Speaker 1: where you mentioned that very often you'll find animal bones
- 9:36Speaker 1: and human bones buried in the same backyard. It happened there.
- 9:40Speaker 1: It may be hard for people to believe, but it's actually, oh, gosh,
- 9:44Speaker 1: she's a ghoul. There she is. Every time I turn around,
- 9:47Speaker 1: I see her looking right at me. That's cult mom
- 9:50Speaker 1: Lori Vallow. In that case, Dr. Queen, you and I
- 9:53Speaker 1: analyzed the discovery of bones in the backyard, essentially, of
- 9:59Speaker 1: her lover-turned-boyfriend. the prophet. In his backyard were the remains
- 10:08Speaker 1: of her son, J.J., a little boy, I think seven,
- 10:13Speaker 1: entirely 16. Also, the bones of a lot of pets
- 10:18Speaker 1: were So I'm going to have to go shrink on
- 10:22Speaker 1: this in a moment. I guess perps think, oh, I'll
- 10:25Speaker 1: just bury them in the dog graveyard. It's just crazy.
- 10:30Speaker 1: And I'll get to the analysis psychologically of that. But Dr. Coyne, you,
- 10:36Speaker 1: the ME, have to look at all of these bones
- 10:39Speaker 1: and say, well, is that from a pet? Is that
- 10:42Speaker 1: from a human? And especially when we're talking about bones
- 10:45Speaker 1: that big, then once you get them, once you clean them,
- 10:48Speaker 1: once you identify as then you take them back to
- 10:52Speaker 1: the medical examiner and you try to assemble them. Let's
- 10:56Speaker 1: see a shot of little Keely Anthony's remains once assembled.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Now think about it. This was painstaking work. They never
- 11:04Speaker 1: found all of Keely's bones. And that's what you do
- 11:10Speaker 1: at the medical examiner's office if you can find all
- 11:14Speaker 1: the bones. Look how it's painstakingly each vertebra is put
- 11:19Speaker 1: together The ribs, the tiny little ribs, the tiny little
- 11:23Speaker 1: pieces of finger. It takes forever. Isn't that true, Dr. Coyne?
- 11:32Speaker 10: No, it does.
- 11:32Speaker 9: It takes a long time because you want to be
- 11:35Speaker 9: very accurate in everything that you do. And at the
- 11:37Speaker 9: same time, then once you assemble everything, then you're going
- 11:40Speaker 9: to begin the examination process. Can we identify who these
- 11:45Speaker 9: bones belong to? Is there any trauma present on the
- 11:49Speaker 9: bone that helps us determine how this person died?
- 11:52Speaker 10: So that's a very long process.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Just then, Dr. Coyne, I don't know if you can
- 11:57Speaker 1: see your monitor because you're joining us from there in
- 11:59Speaker 1: your medical examiner's office. We just had the picture of
- 12:02Speaker 1: little Kelly's remains, and it just looks like a gut punch.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I saw her little teeth still in her skull. They're
- 12:10Speaker 1: probably baby teeth. Do you ever, when you're trying to
- 12:14Speaker 1: reassemble a body, think about Like while you're talking, Dr. Coyne,
- 12:18Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see or not, we're
- 12:20Speaker 1: showing pictures of known victims. And to think that right now,
- 12:25Speaker 1: as we go to air, someone is sifting through dirt
- 12:29Speaker 1: trying to find their bones. Like that picture of Kelly
- 12:33Speaker 1: and I saw her teeth. It was just too jarring
- 12:37Speaker 1: for me. Just does it ever get to you while
- 12:41Speaker 1: you're trying to put together the pieces of bones like
- 12:43Speaker 1: a jigsaw puzzle? That this was a person.
- 12:46Speaker 10: You try to.
- 12:48Speaker 9: You try to stay focused on the task at hand, but,
- 12:50Speaker 9: you know, I'm a parent. I have a lot of
- 12:53Speaker 9: loved ones in my life and your mind can't help
- 12:55Speaker 9: but drift off to what you know. And you have
- 12:58Speaker 9: to kind of push that out of your brain to
- 13:01Speaker 9: try to focus because, you know, your emotions can get
- 13:03Speaker 9: the best of you sometimes.
- 13:04Speaker 10: And these cases are very difficult, especially when they involve children.
- 13:07Speaker 9: But you do your best to stay focused because you
- 13:09Speaker 9: know that your end goal is to get justice for
- 13:12Speaker 9: that person.
- 13:12Speaker 1: We understand tonight, Dr. Coyne, investigators are digging down about
- 13:16Speaker 1: three feet deep so far across the backyard. The yard
- 13:20Speaker 1: is dividing into nine segments. They are also digging up
- 13:27Speaker 1: an eight foot deep brick lined pit left behind. There
- 13:36Speaker 1: is an area uncovered. in the backyard. We're just, that's
- 13:44Speaker 1: what we're seeing tonight. This is from Fox 29. So
- 13:49Speaker 1: this is a painstaking, a painstaking task. And you know
- 13:52Speaker 1: there's trouble when the medical examiner shows up on the
- 13:56Speaker 1: scene of a dig. That's from our friends at Fox 29.
- 14:00Speaker 1: So it wouldn't be uncommon, oddly, Dr. Coyne, for people to,
- 14:04Speaker 1: for excavators to find animal bones and human bones in
- 14:07Speaker 1: the same area.
- 14:09Speaker 10: Not uncommon. It's quite common, actually.
- 14:12Speaker 9: Generally, in, I'd say, the last three or four cases
- 14:14Speaker 9: I've had, we had to separate multiple kinds of animal
- 14:17Speaker 9: bones from the human bones.
- 14:19Speaker 10: Because you have animals that have died.
- 14:22Speaker 9: Over the course of, you know, 20, 30 years that
- 14:25Speaker 9: are present in an area where you bury a body.
- 14:27Speaker 10: Those bones are going to get mixed in with those
- 14:29Speaker 10: human bones.
- 14:30Speaker 9: And as you're digging, you're recovering as much as possible
- 14:32Speaker 9: because you don't want to miss anything. You're going to
- 14:34Speaker 9: sift through all of that back to the office when
- 14:36Speaker 9: you're in a more controlled environment. And, of course, then
- 14:39Speaker 9: you're going to have to separate animal bones from human
- 14:42Speaker 9: bones and any other debris that may be present.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Is it just me, Jackie? Is it just me? Let
- 14:48Speaker 1: me go to our shrink. Dr. Gerilyn Utter is joining us.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Clinical psychologist specializing in psychological evaluations, risk assessments of people
- 14:57Speaker 1: in the justice system. Author of Mainlining Philly and Aftershock,
- 15:02Speaker 1: How Past Events Shake Up Your Life Today. She's the
- 15:05Speaker 1: star of Utter Nonsense. It's a documentary series. And you
- 15:08Speaker 1: can find her at drgerilynutter.com.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Dr.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Gerilyn, is it just me? Because nobody else is showing
- 15:16Speaker 1: any dismay here on the set that someone, i.e. Lori
- 15:22Speaker 1: Vallow and that prophet husband of hers, and I use
- 15:27Speaker 1: the term prophet very, very loosely, would throw children or
- 15:34Speaker 1: these ladies' remains where they bury them The animals just,
- 15:42Speaker 1: I don't know a legal answer to that, but there's
- 15:45Speaker 1: something wrong with that. What is it? Maybe you can
- 15:48Speaker 1: help me.
- 15:50Speaker 11: I think, Nancy, when you're talking about the lack of
- 15:54Speaker 11: regard for humanity, which as we're starting to learn more
- 15:58Speaker 11: about this case, we're seeing a lot of egregious and
- 16:01Speaker 11: quite honestly disgusting things that have happened to these poor women.
- 16:05Speaker 11: When you take human remains and you bury them, you
- 16:09Speaker 11: think of a couple of things, especially in your backyard.
- 16:12Speaker 11: The first thing that you think of is whoever did
- 16:14Speaker 11: this wants to maintain control. So you don't want to
- 16:18Speaker 11: bury them somewhere where you won't have control of them
- 16:21Speaker 11: and know where they are. So that sense of control
- 16:23Speaker 11: is maintained if you bury remains on your property. Another
- 16:26Speaker 11: thing speaks to the information I've been receiving is the
- 16:30Speaker 11: sheer callousness and dehumanization of that's been demonstrated by the
- 16:34Speaker 11: alleged perpetrator, by Mr.
- 16:36Speaker 10: Horsch.
- 16:36Speaker 11: So these women, in my opinion and from what I've seen,
- 16:41Speaker 11: aren't portrayed as human beings. They are portrayed as objects,
- 16:46Speaker 11: and sadly objects that have been used in a sexually
- 16:50Speaker 11: sadistic manner. So yes, to take remains and to just
- 16:54Speaker 11: disregard them, to bury them in the backyard, speaks to
- 16:57Speaker 11: the dehumanization the fact that they're not viewed as women,
- 17:01Speaker 11: that they're viewed as objects. And it also speaks to
- 17:04Speaker 11: a level of control. If you bury them on your property,
- 17:07Speaker 11: you know where they are. You can go back to them.
- 17:11Speaker 11: And then the third thing is just the overall callousness,
- 17:14Speaker 11: the lack of remorse, the lack of empathy, the lack
- 17:16Speaker 11: of acknowledgement of humanity. This case spreads far and wide
- 17:21Speaker 11: regarding what it can do to somebody's psyche. Just by
- 17:25Speaker 11: the sheer nature of reviewing a lot of this data,
- 17:27Speaker 11: I've had to take a step back myself. But the
- 17:30Speaker 11: one thing that I just want to bring to everyone's attention,
- 17:33Speaker 11: and these are women that are part of a vulnerable
- 17:36Speaker 11: population in the city of Philadelphia. They were plucked from
- 17:40Speaker 11: specifically the Kensington section of Philadelphia, and they were preyed
- 17:45Speaker 11: upon by this individual because of how vulnerable they were.
- 17:48Speaker 11: That does not excuse this behavior on any level. And
- 17:52Speaker 11: I'm happy to see that you have these great pictures
- 17:54Speaker 11: up of the women showing them with their families. These
- 17:58Speaker 11: are loved women. These are women that are missed by
- 18:00Speaker 11: family members, and I'm just happy to see you bring
- 18:02Speaker 11: this to light on your show.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Joining us now is a special guest, Jonathan Halloran-Corin.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Mr.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Corin, thank you for being with us. Your beloved Nicole
- 18:23Speaker 1: Fasaro is dead. I can't imagine how it strikes you
- 18:33Speaker 1: to hear this discussion of human bones potentially mixed with
- 18:41Speaker 1: animal bones, an excavation in a guy's backyard, wet cremation,
- 18:53Speaker 1: tanks those huge trash bins in the basement. It's just,
- 19:02Speaker 1: it's out of a horror film, but it's not a film.
- 19:06Speaker 9: No.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Nicole was part of all of this.
- 19:12Speaker 10: Yes, she was.
- 19:14Speaker 12: It's every day is a living hell. Every day is
- 19:18Speaker 12: a living hell now. Every day is something new and
- 19:23Speaker 12: some leak from the police department saying this or that. Um,
- 19:29Speaker 12: And yeah, I mean, I was listening and I'm not
- 19:33Speaker 12: surprised by anything that was said previously in your segment.
- 19:37Speaker 12: It's stuff that I've been hearing on practically a daily
- 19:39Speaker 12: basis now.
- 19:40Speaker 1: We're showing shots of your beloved Nicole Fasaro and she
- 19:46Speaker 1: is absolutely beautiful. I remember growing up, I thought that's
- 19:52Speaker 1: what sleeping beauty looked like. Right there. Beautiful dark hair,
- 19:58Speaker 1: big blue eyes, perfect skin. That's what I thought a
- 20:03Speaker 1: sleeping beauty would look like. You know, a Disney princess.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Just looking at her. And imagining what you're going through,
- 20:14Speaker 1: hearing about tubs of wet cremation and an excavation in
- 20:23Speaker 1: the backyard. Whose bones are those? How callously they were
- 20:28Speaker 1: just put in the backyard and how arrogant to think
- 20:33Speaker 1: they'd never be discovered. Like Nicole doesn't even matter. Like
- 20:37Speaker 1: nobody's going to look for her.
- 20:38Speaker 2: I mean, what?
- 20:40Speaker 1: Were you told? I know that just before a press conference,
- 20:44Speaker 1: detectives came to your home. What did they tell you
- 20:47Speaker 1: about Nicole?
- 20:50Speaker 12: So when the detectives came to my home, it was
- 20:53Speaker 12: not to speak to me. It was actually to speak
- 20:56Speaker 12: to my mother, who is legally the next of kin.
- 20:59Speaker 12: And they came in and they sat down, said your
- 21:05Speaker 12: niece is deceased and that she was strangled.
- 21:09Speaker 1: That's it.
- 21:10Speaker 12: Handed her a packet of victim's resources. Do you have
- 21:14Speaker 12: any questions? Well, we started asking questions. And my mother
- 21:19Speaker 12: started asking questions, and they were willing to answer her questions.
- 21:22Speaker 12: But when it came to me, those questions were not answered.
- 21:28Speaker 12: It was not a good meeting with the police department
- 21:31Speaker 12: at that time.
- 21:32Speaker 1: So they basically come in. Guys, that video we were
- 21:34Speaker 1: showing you is from our friends at ABC6. Jonathan, they
- 21:39Speaker 1: basically come in and say, you know, Nicole, she's dead.
- 21:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 21:44Speaker 1: That's it?
- 21:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Did they tell you about the video?
- 21:47Speaker 9: No.
- 21:48Speaker 7: No.
- 21:48Speaker 12: In fact, to go into further detail, I turned around
- 21:53Speaker 12: and had developed different leads in my investigation of trying
- 21:57Speaker 12: to find Nicole. And when I started talking to them
- 22:01Speaker 12: about it, their immediate response was, we're only here to
- 22:05Speaker 12: give a next of kin notification to your mother. were
- 22:08Speaker 12: well aware of your advocacy for other victims. And at
- 22:12Speaker 12: that point I said, so you don't want to hear
- 22:14Speaker 12: any of the leads that I have developed over the
- 22:18Speaker 12: investigation that I did in Nicole. No, then you can
- 22:21Speaker 12: get the hell out of my house. And I threw
- 22:24Speaker 12: him out of my house.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Well, I've never imagined that. I mean, I would take
- 22:29Speaker 1: information anywhere I could get it. I mean, sure. I'd
- 22:32Speaker 1: love for the information to come from a non, a
- 22:34Speaker 1: priest or a virgin, But typically in homicide, drug, child
- 22:39Speaker 1: molestation cases, that's not who your witness is. If somebody
- 22:44Speaker 1: had information, I want it. I've got to get into
- 22:48Speaker 1: your independent investigation, which is extensive. But Jonathan, when did
- 22:55Speaker 1: you put the pieces together that it's your beloved Nicole
- 23:02Speaker 1: in the snuff film where.
- 23:06Speaker 10: R.C.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Horsch is tying a zip tie around the victim's neck
- 23:12Speaker 1: and killing her on video.
- 23:16Speaker 12: So I was watching a live feed of the press
- 23:20Speaker 12: conference that afternoon. And as Deputy Commissioner Benoit was discussing it,
- 23:26Speaker 12: he had stated that it was a 27-year-old victim, which
- 23:29Speaker 12: out of all of the victims, the only one that
- 23:31Speaker 12: was 27 was Nicole. Um, and started giving the details
- 23:38Speaker 12: that he did. And in my heart, I immediately knew
- 23:42Speaker 12: that it was Nicole that he was talking about.
- 23:45Speaker 1: What details?
- 23:46Speaker 12: Well, you heard it. They turned around and they ended
- 23:49Speaker 12: up saying that there was two video cameras set up.
- 23:52Speaker 10: One was stationary.
- 23:54Speaker 12: One was being held by Raymond that he turned around
- 23:59Speaker 12: and had given her drugs. She was using drugs and
- 24:02Speaker 12: the video. that she ended up having, was given money,
- 24:07Speaker 12: and then proceeded to handcuff her to the bed and
- 24:10Speaker 12: put a zip tie around her neck and use a
- 24:13Speaker 12: cable lock to end up putting the zip tie around
- 24:16Speaker 12: and making her suffocate.
- 24:19Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take in the fact, Jonathan, as
- 24:23Speaker 1: I'm looking at pictures of Nicole, that there's actually a
- 24:30Speaker 1: video of her getting a zip tie around her neck
- 24:37Speaker 1: and being murdered.
- 24:40Speaker 12: It's a very hard thing to grasp.
- 24:43Speaker 1: What about that press conference angered you so much?
- 24:49Speaker 12: The part that angered me the most was the fact
- 24:51Speaker 12: that I had two detectives in my house not, what,
- 24:57Speaker 12: four or five hours prior that could have easily given
- 25:00Speaker 12: me this information and didn't. Yet I have to turn
- 25:05Speaker 12: around and end up listening to a press conference where
- 25:10Speaker 12: they're giving graphic details as to her murder. And there
- 25:14Speaker 12: was no investigatory value, in my opinion, to them giving
- 25:19Speaker 12: that information.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Publicly.
- 25:22Speaker 10: Publicly. The fit of.
- 25:24Speaker 12: Rage was beyond anything I can imagine that I felt.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Tell me about your own experience. That video is from
- 25:35Speaker 1: our friends at Fox 29, everyone. I want to hear
- 25:38Speaker 1: about your private investigation.
- 25:41Speaker 12: At this point, I have been reaching out to different
- 25:45Speaker 12: victims myself. And by victims, I mean people that were
- 25:49Speaker 12: in the horsehouse that have been photographed. I've had numerous
- 25:54Speaker 12: ones come to me and end up saying, we've tried
- 25:57Speaker 12: speaking to the Philadelphia Police Department, but they don't want
- 26:00Speaker 12: to listen to us. Or they'll turn around and say, well,
- 26:03Speaker 12: we started talking to the Philadelphia Police Department, and then
- 26:06Speaker 12: we did a television interview, and now they don't want
- 26:10Speaker 12: to talk to us. And it has gotten to the
- 26:13Speaker 12: point where I've had to put together all the information,
- 26:16Speaker 12: and I've handed it over to the Department of Justice
- 26:18Speaker 12: Civil Rights Division.
- 26:20Speaker 1: What information did you uncover, Jonathan, that you believe is probative,
- 26:26Speaker 1: that proves something in this case? I'm sure it's a lot.
- 26:30Speaker 12: As of right now, what I've ended up finding the
- 26:32Speaker 12: most is the fact that the police department is not
- 26:37Speaker 12: properly interviewing these victims. That's what I have found so far.
- 26:42Speaker 1: What do they have to offer? What do they have
- 26:45Speaker 1: that can prove something for me, Jonathan?
- 26:48Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:51Speaker 12: They were in the house. They have eyewitness accounts. And
- 26:57Speaker 12: I don't want to be going too much into their stories.
- 27:01Speaker 12: But that's something that the police have to do, and
- 27:03Speaker 12: they're not doing it.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Were Nicole's remains ever found?
- 27:09Speaker 7: No.
- 27:11Speaker 12: No, and honestly, I don't think they'll ever be found.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Even in light of the bone dig in the backyard
- 27:17Speaker 1: going on now, and even in light of the tubs
- 27:21Speaker 1: of wet cremation found in the basement?
- 27:27Speaker 12: So, in my opinion, I understand why they're digging up
- 27:31Speaker 12: the front yard and backyard. But I don't think they're
- 27:35Speaker 12: finding what they think they're finding. They are obviously being
- 27:39Speaker 12: sent to the lab by the FBI for further analysis.
- 27:43Speaker 12: There is the buckets of sludge that were found in
- 27:47Speaker 12: the basement that were recovered back in June that were
- 27:51Speaker 12: sent to an FBI lab. And so far, everything has
- 27:54Speaker 12: been silent on it. And personally, if I was the investigator,
- 28:00Speaker 12: I would want to have a DNA sample from the
- 28:03Speaker 12: family member. As of today, right now, I have not
- 28:08Speaker 12: received a request for a DNA sample.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Joining us in addition to Jonathan Halloran-Corin, Jane. We are
- 28:18Speaker 1: using an alias tonight because Jane is afraid of being identified.
- 28:25Speaker 5: She actually.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Went into the House of Horrors and lived to tell
- 28:30Speaker 1: the tale. There, Eugene Horsch paid her to take photos. Him!
- 28:40Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if I ran into that, I'd
- 28:42Speaker 1: run the other way. I'd make a train take a
- 28:45Speaker 1: dirt road. Jane went inside truly a House of Horrors.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Right now, the front and backyard being excavated for bones.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Tubs of wet cremation. found in the basement, and she
- 29:01Speaker 1: made it out of the so-called dungeon. Jane, thank you
- 29:05Speaker 1: for being with us.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
- 29:11Speaker 1: You do realize, as you're hearing about excavation for human bones,
- 29:18Speaker 1: tubs of wet cremation, Nicole Fisaro never being found, how
- 29:25Speaker 1: close you came to being in that backyard or in
- 29:30Speaker 1: one of those tubs? Has that struck you?
- 29:33Speaker 2: It bothers me every day. The more the case gets...
- 29:40Speaker 2: as the case gets deeper and deeper involved and the
- 29:42Speaker 2: more and more I'm hearing, every day I wake up
- 29:46Speaker 2: and I thank God that I'm still here to talk
- 29:48Speaker 2: about this.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Jane, tell our listeners and viewers what happened when you
- 29:55Speaker 1: went inside the Philly House of Horrors.
- 30:00Speaker 2: So I was there with another girl that I have
- 30:04Speaker 2: not seen since I've been in that house. And we
- 30:08Speaker 2: went in, we took a few pictures with Eugene. I
- 30:12Speaker 2: was starting to be asked some questions, some very serious
- 30:15Speaker 2: questions about my personal life, about my family, about, you know,
- 30:20Speaker 2: who would be noticed, you know, who's involved in my life.
- 30:25Speaker 2: I started feeling uncomfortable. And at that point, I decided
- 30:30Speaker 2: to leave and never look back. And I thank every
- 30:33Speaker 2: day for God for that.
- 30:34Speaker 1: What kind of photos were you asked to take?
- 30:38Speaker 2: Photos where after we would inject after using where the
- 30:42Speaker 2: other girl would be asked to lick blood from my
- 30:45Speaker 2: arm or me do that to her. There's very compromising photos.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Did they ask you to take your clothes off? They did.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I did not.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Take all my clothes off. I did get in some
- 30:59Speaker 2: risque clothing, but I did not take all my clothes off. No,
- 31:02Speaker 2: I did not.
- 31:03Speaker 1: So they basically wanted you semi-clothed, licking blood off another woman?
- 31:10Speaker 2: Yes.
- 31:11Speaker 7: That's just wild. I mean, especially for the neighbors.
- 31:13Speaker 4: You don't have to live through this and know that
- 31:15Speaker 4: they live next to this and know that there's probably,
- 31:18Speaker 4: God only knows how many bodies back there.
- 31:21Speaker 2: We don't talk a lot about it.
- 31:22Speaker 5: My attitude is to pray, hope and not worry too much.
- 31:27Speaker 8: That's kind of the way I go about things, you know.
- 31:29Speaker 7: Sick people out here and we got to do better
- 31:33Speaker 7: out here. The cops got to help. Everybody got to help.
- 31:37Speaker 7: It's like no help. People ignore a lot of stuff.
- 31:39Speaker 5: I don't get it.
- 31:43Speaker 1: It's terrible.
- 31:44Speaker 7: We should not be living like this. This world is
- 31:46Speaker 7: coming to an end.
- 31:47Speaker 5: He was creepy.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Wasn't much good to say about them.
- 31:50Speaker 3: He would come out in his Jeep and, you know,
- 31:52Speaker 3: bring people in and out.
- 31:54Speaker 1: He was picking up women down in the city and
- 31:56Speaker 1: bringing them home. From KYW and WPVI, back to Jane
- 32:01Speaker 1: using an alias. They were asking you about family members. Translation,
- 32:06Speaker 1: will anybody know it if you go missing? That's what
- 32:09Speaker 1: that is. What kind of questions about your family members?
- 32:13Speaker 2: I'm just pretty much asking me, you know, in my situation,
- 32:18Speaker 2: was I on the streets or did I have a
- 32:20Speaker 2: place to live? When I told them that I did
- 32:23Speaker 2: have a place to live, they pretty much asked, oh,
- 32:26Speaker 2: who lives with you? you know, do you visit your
- 32:30Speaker 2: family often? Um, kind of just feeling me out, making
- 32:34Speaker 2: me feel very uncomfortable. Um, I kind of felt that
- 32:37Speaker 2: was odd for somebody I was just meeting to be
- 32:40Speaker 2: so concerned about who was in my life and who
- 32:42Speaker 2: wasn't in my life. Um, luckily for me, when I was,
- 32:47Speaker 2: you know, when I was still using, I still had
- 32:50Speaker 2: a very good support system and a very, you know,
- 32:52Speaker 2: a very good family around me. Um, So, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 2: I know some of these missing girls and I know
- 33:00Speaker 2: that the girl that I was there with that day,
- 33:02Speaker 2: I have not seen or heard from since that day
- 33:04Speaker 2: I was there.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Joining us tonight, Eric Faddis. He is the founder of
- 33:13Speaker 1: Law Offices of Eric Faddis, veteran trial lawyer, former prosecutor. Eric,
- 33:19Speaker 1: what is the defense attorney going to do now? The
- 33:23Speaker 1: home is being excavated back at front yard for human bones.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Bones have been found. They're being analyzed. And as in
- 33:31Speaker 1: the case of Rex Heuermann, the entire home is being
- 33:35Speaker 1: dismantled board by board.
- 33:39Speaker 10: Right, Nancy. So let's talk about the bones real quick.
- 33:42Speaker 10: You know, Dr.
- 33:42Speaker 13: Coyne had said, earlier, that a medical examiner would be
- 33:45Speaker 13: able to visually observe those and determine if they were
- 33:48Speaker 13: human or not. The reports indicate that they have found bones.
- 33:52Speaker 13: There has been no declaration that they are human whatsoever.
- 33:55Speaker 13: So this could be absolutely nothing with respect to the case.
- 33:58Speaker 13: On top of that, I thought they were alleging this
- 34:00Speaker 13: was liquid cremation. If so, why would a person also
- 34:04Speaker 13: need to be burying remains in the backyard? You know,
- 34:06Speaker 13: there's a lot of unanswered questions in this. There was
- 34:08Speaker 13: some luminol that was applied that is supposed to reveal blood,
- 34:12Speaker 13: but that can also have false positives as well for
- 34:15Speaker 13: iron and copper and other substances. So I think, you know,
- 34:18Speaker 13: we're kind of putting the cart before the horse here.
- 34:19Speaker 13: A lot of investigation that still needs to go on.
- 34:22Speaker 13: And then finally, once we reach that, how do we
- 34:25Speaker 13: determine at whose hands these things happen? You know, when
- 34:28Speaker 13: bones were buried, if they ever were, under what circumstances,
- 34:31Speaker 13: by whom? A lot of unanswered questions still.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Okay. Okay.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Fatus, are you actually saying that they have bones in
- 34:39Speaker 1: their front and backyard, human bones, but we can't connect
- 34:43Speaker 1: them to the people that own the front and backyard?
- 34:47Speaker 1: So maybe somebody else over time deposited multiple sets of
- 34:52Speaker 1: bones in their front and backyard and they had no
- 34:55Speaker 1: idea what was happening? Is that your theory?
- 34:58Speaker 13: There's been no confirmation that they're human bones at all.
- 35:00Speaker 13: And look, it sounds like at this house, there were
- 35:03Speaker 13: people coming in and out regularly, people who did not
- 35:06Speaker 13: live there. You know, it's certainly fine to suspect that
- 35:08Speaker 13: the homeowners might be responsible, but it sounds like there
- 35:11Speaker 13: are other parties who need to be further investigated and identified.
- 35:15Speaker 13: And this thing happened over the course of years.
- 35:17Speaker 1: What other party other than these two ghouls?
- 35:21Speaker 13: Well, it sounds like there were drugs being used in
- 35:24Speaker 13: the house. And, you know, in sort of a trap
- 35:27Speaker 13: house-like scenario, there are people coming in and out. And
- 35:30Speaker 13: some of those folks are unsavory characters. Some of those
- 35:32Speaker 13: folks might have bad intentions. And so we're talking about
- 35:35Speaker 13: possible alternative suspects here that can't be ruled out based
- 35:39Speaker 13: on the information we have presently.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Okay. You know what, Faddis? You're amazing. Somehow you've managed
- 35:45Speaker 1: to extrapolate what you've heard tonight and come up with specter,
- 35:50Speaker 1: phantom suspects defendants, other suspects. So here we go with
- 35:55Speaker 1: the SOD. Some other dude did it. Not the people
- 35:57Speaker 1: that own the house, not the people that film snuff
- 36:01Speaker 1: films of Nicole having a zip tie around her neck
- 36:05Speaker 1: and dying on film. Forget them. It's some other nefarious, what, doper,
- 36:12Speaker 1: an addict. Okay. Let me ask Jane this. Jane, did
- 36:18Speaker 1: they pick up men or just women?
- 36:21Speaker 2: As far as I know, they only picked up women.
- 36:23Speaker 1: So, Faddis, you think this is a female crime, then,
- 36:27Speaker 1: that the women killed each other and buried them in
- 36:30Speaker 1: their yard? Let's just follow your reasoning through to its
- 36:35Speaker 1: logical conclusion. You can't just drop a bomb on crime
- 36:38Speaker 1: stories and not think we're going to tear it apart.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Okay?
- 36:41Speaker 1: So, is that your theory? That the women were killing
- 36:44Speaker 1: each other and burying them in the yard? What?
- 36:48Speaker 13: Well, you know, there have been cases before that have accomplices, right?
- 36:52Speaker 13: So that's a possibility. That happens, especially when we're talking
- 36:55Speaker 13: about some sort of coordinated killing and alleged cover-up. On
- 36:59Speaker 13: top of that, this saga spans years and years, potentially decades.
- 37:03Speaker 13: And so, you know, to account for who has gone
- 37:05Speaker 13: in and out of that house, whether it is women
- 37:08Speaker 13: or men or an accomplice or a drug user or
- 37:10Speaker 13: something else, There are just so many moving parts and
- 37:13Speaker 13: they can't really nail it down or tie it to
- 37:15Speaker 13: the horses at this point in my appraisal. That's with
- 37:18Speaker 13: the exception of the video.
- 37:19Speaker 10: The video is a different story.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Joining us now, special guest Shannon Hill. She is the
- 37:23Speaker 1: star of Shannon Hill News. Shannon, thank you so much
- 37:28Speaker 1: for being with us. Okay, that is a lot. Please
- 37:33Speaker 1: explain what's happening and somehow tie all of these parts
- 37:38Speaker 1: together for us, Shannon.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Nancy, you are absolutely right. That is a lot. And
- 37:43Speaker 3: I think your guest, I believe an attorney, Faddis, I
- 37:47Speaker 3: think he's incorrect on a lot of this because if
- 37:49Speaker 3: he connects this horror house that we're seeing in Philly
- 37:52Speaker 3: to the other investigation that happened back in 2009 in Chalfont,
- 37:57Speaker 3: Buck County, that house was also tied to R.C. Horsch
- 38:02Speaker 3: and his son, Eugene. And these same operations were taking
- 38:05Speaker 3: place there as well, meaning firearm possession and a marijuana operation,
- 38:11Speaker 3: and several IDs of women were also found in that
- 38:16Speaker 3: Bucks County house. And some of those women have yet
- 38:20Speaker 3: to be found. So if you match up all of
- 38:23Speaker 3: this together in this new whorehouse situation, the case sounds
- 38:29Speaker 3: all but the same. And if you ask the DA
- 38:32Speaker 3: what happened to that house in Chalfant, he'll tell you
- 38:36Speaker 3: that he doesn't know, that they never met. further investigated
- 38:40Speaker 3: that case. But it's all tied to one man, and
- 38:44Speaker 3: that man is R.C.
- 38:45Speaker 13: Horsch.
- 38:45Speaker 1: I'm very curious. Shannon, at this juncture, the excavation is ongoing.
- 38:53Speaker 1: What do we know about tearing the house apart board
- 38:57Speaker 1: by board, much as Rex Heuermann, the Long Island serial killer,
- 39:01Speaker 1: much as his home was completely torn apart? Correct, Nancy.
- 39:06Speaker 3: They have torn apart the backyard in this Philly house
- 39:10Speaker 3: of horrors. They removed a shed. They dug up what
- 39:15Speaker 3: was underneath that shed. And like you've said today, they
- 39:18Speaker 3: have dug up many bones. And when they are calling
- 39:21Speaker 3: in medical examiners, it's usually because they believe these bones
- 39:25Speaker 3: are not that of animal bones and animal remains. Also
- 39:30Speaker 3: the basement in this horror house was described as an
- 39:34Speaker 3: old high school science lab. There were several chemicals lying
- 39:38Speaker 3: around everywhere. And that just tells you what exactly they
- 39:43Speaker 3: were doing in that home.
- 39:45Speaker 1: I'm very curious about the press conference. Guys, by the way,
- 39:50Speaker 1: Shannon Hill is a star of Shannon Hill News on Insta.
- 39:55Speaker 1: The fact that information regarding snuff films and describing them
- 40:02Speaker 1: were put out to the public in a public press conference,
- 40:05Speaker 1: what was the point of that? I agree with Jonathan
- 40:09Speaker 1: on that.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I think the point of that, Nancy, was possibly to
- 40:15Speaker 3: bring light to how many people have entered in and
- 40:18Speaker 3: out of that home. I think there was a description
- 40:20Speaker 3: of 600,000 photos being found within that home. And something
- 40:25Speaker 3: like 70,000 videos were covered of different people in and
- 40:31Speaker 3: out of that home.
- 40:32Speaker 1: And how, Shannon, did all of this come to light?
- 40:35Speaker 1: It was a very unusual circumstance where the son, Eugene,
- 40:40Speaker 1: is caught.
- 40:43Speaker 3: Correct, Nancy. There was a traffic stop where they pulled
- 40:46Speaker 3: over Eugene in his BMW. And at that time, law
- 40:51Speaker 3: enforcement heard a woman's voice coming from that car saying,
- 40:57Speaker 3: you are going to hurt me. This woman has since
- 41:00Speaker 3: been identified as AT. And the traffic stop happened. They
- 41:05Speaker 3: realized there were firearms and cocaine in the car. And
- 41:10Speaker 3: that is when Eugene was arrested. And it opened up
- 41:15Speaker 3: this big bag of worms at this horror house in Philadelphia.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Just think about it, Shannon, that one incident, how many
- 41:24Speaker 1: lives that may have saved. And all this time there
- 41:28Speaker 1: have been bones and tubs of wet cremation in the basement.
- 41:35Speaker 1: All of this time and nothing was done. There was
- 41:38Speaker 1: no reason to, there was no probable cause. until now.
- 41:42Speaker 1: And what do you think Shannon Hill about the investigation
- 41:46Speaker 1: extending to Camden?
- 41:48Speaker 3: This has been going on for a while. The neighbors
- 41:51Speaker 3: have said they had identified some of these women going
- 41:55Speaker 3: in and out of the houses for years. And the
- 41:58Speaker 3: stories are there. The stories are in town. People know
- 42:02Speaker 3: the horse men as very skeptical, very strange characters in
- 42:07Speaker 3: the neighborhood. that they have been doing very bad things
- 42:10Speaker 3: for a very long time.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Millions of images, tens of thousands of videos, and seven
- 42:21Speaker 1: missing women. That we know of. If you know or
- 42:26Speaker 1: think you know anything regarding this so-called Philly House of Horrors,
