Maribel Fresses
Bucks County woman missing since 2018 whom Philadelphia police identified in 2026 as appearing dead in images recovered from the Horsch house in Olney.
Maribel "Bella" Fresses, who grew up in Holland, Bucks County, was reported missing in 2018 at 27. On August 12, 2026, Philadelphia police identified her, with Gabrielle Amarando, as one of two women shown alive and then apparently dead in video and photographs recovered from the house of R.C. Horsch and Eugene Horsch on West Chew Avenue in Olney, in the Olney House Investigation. Her body has not been found.12
She began using drugs in high school, according to her father, Ricardo Fresses, who said she called him every day until one day she stopped. He last saw her on June 19, 2018, when they met for a slice of pizza in Kensington and he gave her 50 dollars, and he reported her missing shortly afterward; the Philadelphia Inquirer also gives February 2018 as the date of the report. "As the years went by I knew she was gone," he said. "She was a beautiful girl, a loving girl, always daddy's girl." Her brother, Dawson Fresses, said: "It's been eight years since I've seen her. Hearing that, I just couldn't believe it. I had gotten to the point where I thought I might never find out what happened to her."12
