The Philly House of Horrors: The Unsettling Truth Behind the Crematorium Review
In late 2025, a seemingly ordinary 5-star Google review surfaced for a local crematorium on the other side of Philadelphia. The reviewer detailed their experience: "They are very caring and easy to talk with... the process was done quickly and her remains sent to a local funeral home... I was upset and a mess at the time; they made the process easy for me..."
On the surface, it reads like a standard, grateful review written by a grieving relative. But when you look at the name attached to the account—Eugene Horsch—it takes on a chilling significance.
Did Eugene Horsch Really Write It?
It might feel like a bizarre fluke or an internet hoax, but it isn't. The review was indeed posted by Eugene Horsch.
Horsch was taken into federal custody following a traffic stop near the Liberty Bell, where officers discovered illegal firearms, thousands of dollars worth of narcotics, a fake DEA badge, and a woman carrying the ID of Blair Tanzelli—a woman who has been missing since 2023.
A subsequent search of Horsch’s home on Chew Avenue exposed what investigators are calling the Philadelphia House of Horrors. Inside, law enforcement found a basement lab with unknown chemicals, containers of a sludge-like substance, five urns containing human ashes, and hard drives filled with over a million horrifying digital files depicting unconscious and abused women.
Among those mountain-loads of digital and physical evidence, local news outlets uncovered that Eugene Horsch had, in fact, left that glowing review for a crematorium. He even noted details about buying a marble urn himself and transferring the ashes from the temporary plastic urn provided by the facility.
Who Was He Referring To: Christa Killen or Killin?
The mention of her remains in Horsch's review immediately raised questions about the identity of the deceased individual.
Speculation among online investigators and local observers quickly pointed toward Christa Kllin (often misspelled phonetically in discussions as Killen or Killin).
* Who was Christa Kllin? She was a 47-year-old woman who lived at the Chew Avenue home and was the former girlfriend of Eugene Horsch (and had previous ties to his late father, Raymond RC Horsch).
* The Timeline: Kllin died inside the home in August 2025, reportedly from a drug overdose. Because Horsch’s review was posted in late 2025, the timeframe closely matches her death.
* Official Status: Despite the timeline and internet rumors connecting the two, authorities have not officially confirmed that the remains mentioned in the Google review belong to Christa Kllin. In public statements regarding the urns found in the basement, officials noted that one urn is believed to belong to Horsch's father, one to his sister, one to a friend, and two remain unidentified.
While it is entirely plausible that the review refers to Christa Kllin, given the late 2025 timeframe and her relationship with Horsch, investigators are still working through forensic testing and analyzing the digital evidence to confirm the identities associated with the remains.
