Overview
- Federal agents executed a court-authorized search of a Tacony home on Tuesday that uncovered unsanitary, hoarding-like conditions and two children, ages eight months and five years, inside.
- The children were taken for hospital evaluation and have been placed in the care of Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services, according to reports.
- The Pennsylvania SPCA responded and removed dozens of cats and at least one dog to its Philadelphia facility for forensic exams and medical care as animal recovery continued over two days.
- Two adults identified as Megan Bach, 44, and Thomas Bach, 43, were arrested and charged with offenses including endangering the welfare of a child and related counts.
- Authorities describe the residence as unsafe with feces, urine and debris, city crews boarded up the house and utilities were shut off, and the FBI investigation remains active with limited public detail about why the warrant was issued.
