Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Tonight, three women who crossed paths with the Horsch family, join our panel. Two went inside the home. One was a neighbor. Listen to their description of the inside of the home and the chemical smell that wafted throughout. 

Eugene Horsch's arrest after a traffic stop leads to an extensive investigation into missing women.  When he was taken into custody, police found him with fake Drug Enforcement Administration credentials, a switchblade, and two firearms with altered serial numbers.  His passenger was carrying a fake ID with the name of a missing woman, Blair Tonzelli. That is what led the searches of his home.

 Police and federal agents have recovered:

• Over 600,000 images and 70,000 videos thought  that appear to show the bodies of two missing women — Maribel Fresses (last seen 2018) and Gabrielle Amarando (missing since 2012) 

• Five urns believed to contain cremated remains, a home lab in the basement, and containers of unknown oily substances  

• 120 pieces of ballistic evidence, marijuana growing materials, and other suspicious items  

 Horsch has been charged with:

• Firearms offenses

• False federal credentials

• Possession and possession with intent to deliver drugs

He is not charged with the women's disappearances.

Social influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate arrested in Miami in July, after an extradition request by UK officials on charges of rape, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation.   They were first arrested in Romania in December 2022, accused of human trafficking, forming an organized crime group, and sexual exploitation of women. 

British prosecutors brought new charges against the Tates in 2024–2025, alleging offenses between 2010 and 2017. Andrew Tate faces 42 charges, including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, assault causing actual bodily harm, and offenses related to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan Tate faces 17 charges, including sexual assault, rape, and facilitating sex trafficking.  

On July 18, 2026, the U.S. Marshals Service arrested the brothers on a sealed warrant issued by the UK.    Court filings describe incidents where victims were allegedly strangled and assaulted without consent. The brothers have consistently denied all allegations, claiming political motivation and asserting their innocence.
