Missing Women, Philly House Of Horrors! Dissolving Bodies & Snuff Films02 Sep 202600:53:04

On June 19, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA, a park ranger notices a black BMW parked in a restricted area near Independence Mall. Hearing a woman inside the car say, "you're going to hurt me",  the Park Ranger decides to check things out. The driver is identified as Eugene Horsch. The female passenger produced identification bearing the name of Blair Tonzelli. Tonzelli had been reported missing in February 2023 BUT she had not been heard or seen since August 2022. The photo on the ID was the passenger's photo, NOT Tonzelli. Investigators determine the ID is fake. The woman tells investigators that Eugene Horsch gave her the ID. The woman tells investigators she needed the ID because she had outstanding warrants. This is how the "Philly House of Horrors" case began. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what has been discovered thus far and explain the 55-gallon drums, dissolving chemicals, and pipes tied into the local underground sewer system. They will also investigate what has been found in the form of forensic evidence that might help explain a number of "missing person" cases over the last 20 years.

The Tent Stake Murder: Remains Tossed Over Cliff Identified As Man Missing for Years!13 Aug 202600:43:07

The family of 55-year-old Mark Trent became concerned after Trent stopped communicating with them, so they decided to go to his Muncie, Indiana, home to see what they could find. Arriving at his home, relatives found his home abandoned, his dogs were left behind, his wallet was in the house, and his pickup truck was missing. Since it is not illegal for a grown man to cut off communication with family and leave, investigators were suspicious enough to look into his sudden disappearance. Investigators quickly discover Mark Trent's debit card is being used across multiple states, but none of the cameras get a good picture of the person taking money out of the account. The case quickly goes cold. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack explore the disappearance of Mark Trent and break down the investigation that ultimately led investigators to his body and the person charged with using a "tent stake" to murder Mark Trent.
