Overview
- Federal prosecutors returned a two‑count indictment July 9 charging Horsch with possession of firearms by a convicted felon and possession of unlawfully produced federal identification features.
- Horsch was arrested on June 19 after U.S. Park Police found two loaded firearms, drugs and a counterfeit DEA badge in his vehicle near Independence Hall.
- Searches of Horsch’s Olney home at 417 W. Chew Ave recovered additional weapons including a revolver with an obliterated serial number, chemicals, a 55‑gallon drum linked to water lines, fake FBI credentials, a desktop computer, ashes and handwritten notes.
- Investigators report a significant amount of blood at the property but no confirmed human remains; biological, chemical and digital evidence has been sent to labs as officials probe possible links to missing women Blair Tonzelli and Amy McHale.
- Horsch remains held in federal custody pending trial while authorities continue sewer inspections, forensic testing and planning potential yard excavation that could prompt further charges or give families new leads.
