A hidden safe, a backyard excavation, and a digital archive of over a million images. Inside the investigation that has gripped a city and left a community searching for answers.

In June 2026, a routine parking violation near Independence Hall led police to a car containing fake FBI credentials, drugs, and the ID of a woman missing since 2023. That discovery opened the door to a three-story home in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood—a property once owned by a pornographer now suspected of being a serial killer.

In this episode of CWEB, we break down the facts of the investigation into the home on West Chew Avenue. We examine the latest forensic developments, including the discovery of a hidden safe and bones in the backyard—remains that were later determined to be animal bones, but which have only deepened the mystery. We also explore the complex legal reality: no one has been charged in connection with the missing women, and the primary suspect died in 2025. This is a story about the painstaking work of forensic investigation, the weight of digital evidence, and the families still waiting for answers.
