Horsch investigation: Medical examiner's office called to W Chew Ave home

A potentially big development tonight related to the investigation at the House of Horrors in Albany after the medical examiner was called to the scene this afternoon. This is the 10 o'clock news. I'm Jason Martinez. This story, of course, gaining nationwide attention as investigators continue to look for evidence at the home and property belonging to Eugene Horsch and his late father, Raymond R.C. Horsch. Don Timoney, back out at the scene tonight in the neighborhood. Don, what have you learned? Well, Jason, we've learned that the medical examiner's office was called here to this home on West Chew Avenue, according to our law enforcement source, after investigators found something while digging in the backyard. The ME's office is usually called to examine things like bones, although it's not exactly clear what was found here today. Unbelievable, terrifying, and just outrageous, you know what I'm saying? Things like this could possibly be happening this close to you. Mark Civil attends church just down the street from a so-called house of horrors on West Chew Avenue in Albany. He drives by regularly as Philadelphia police and FBI agents continue excavating the property's backyard. Detectives removing items and using a sifter to look for human remains and dig in areas cleared out by heavy machinery. We drive down here to go home and then we see this house every single time and you know never came across my mind that something like that could be going on behind closed doors. The property belonging to the late Raymond R.C. Horsch and his son Eugene Horsch is the scene of a massive and painstaking probe. Investigators working to find forensic evidence of at least seven missing women connected to the home. Police believe five of them are deceased. Eugene Horsch was arrested in Old City during a traffic stop in June, which led police to this house. Today, Fox 29 sources telling us the medical examiner's office was called here after something of interest was uncovered while digging. To hear the updates and stuff like that did you know it's you know pretty crazy that you know this is happening. On Monday investigators sprayed luminol which can detect microscopic or cleaned up blood stains. Law enforcement sources tell us it was successful and what they gathered might contain DNA evidence. It's nerve-wracking for sure you know what I'm saying to know that there's a lot more to find. You know what I'm saying? Things inside the house, behind the house, under the ground. And once investigators finish up in the backyard, our sources tell us they will start to excavate the front of the property. So the work is expected to continue here through next week. This as the FBI and police continue to go through more than a million pictures and video evidence recovered from this home here. Jason? Yeah, so much more to come on this one. All right. Thank you very much, Don.
