One of the missing women tied to a Philadelphia house of horrors once told a pal that a man in the home was a “sociopath” who talked about melting bodies with chemicals and flushing them down the toilet.
The chilling new detail surfaced Tuesday along with more information about the missing woman, Blair Tonzelli, who was 35 when she vanished from a Philly neighborhood in 2023.
Tonzelli was a drifter in and out of jail for drug and prostitution charges who fell in with a man named “Raymond” who sold marijuana, another friend told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Raymond is the first name of late pot-peddling fetish photographer R.C. Horsch — who used to live in the home along with his 44-year-old son Eugene Horsch.
The first Tonzelli pal said the missing woman previously worked in the house as a “home healthcare aide” — and called Eugene “a sociopath” who discussed the chemicals needed to make a body “so small it could be flushed down a toilet,” the outlet said.
Tonzelli and Eugene ended up having a dispute over money while he had access to a CashApp account in her name, and although he didn’t harm her, he said things that suggested he had hurt others, the friend claimed.
Eugene has not been charged but is being eyed in the disappearance of Tonzelli and his dad’s much younger ex-wife, Amy McHale, 44, who vanished in 2016, law-enforcement sources have said. He has blamed his father for the women’s disappearance.
RC, who died last year in his 80s, had been arrested for growing illegal pot and made a name for himself photographing and filming graphic twisted images of nude women, boasting on his website about taking snaps of “scantily clad women in sadomasochistic settings.”
Eugene still lived in the home in Olney when police raided it earlier this month after finding a fake ID with Tonzelll’s name on it on his girlfriend during an encounter with a street cop, according to police documents viewed by the outlet.
Cops later found Tonzelli’s name on bank cards inside the house — along with more fake IDs, drugs, weapons, vats of chemicals, urns of human ash, a document referencing infamous serial killer Ted Bundy and other items straight out of a horror movie set.
Eugene is being held on drug and weapons charges as cops continue testing 55-gallon drums and other suspicious items in the home — as well as local sewers — for potential DNA and other evidence.
As for McHale, she and RC stayed close after their divorce — possibly because he supplied her with drugs, the woman’s daughter Amanda Stofer told the Inquirer.
McHale, a grandmother, was last seen at the house before her disappearance a decade ago.
While Eugene has tried to put the blame on his father, neighbors described to The Post how the son, a convicted drug felon is a “psycho’’ who helped turn the once-quaint townhouse into an eyesore with boarded up windows, bars on the doors and security cameras.
Eugene would lurk in a back shed “doing I don’t know what,” said neighbor Yana Smith, 50.
Her husband got into an argument with the man after he tried to point a security camera at their bathroom window, she said.
