Raymond “R.C.” Horsch—National Merit Scholar, IQ of 140, convicted counterfeiter, meth cook, fugitive, filmmaker—spent decades recruiting women from Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood to appear in his violent films and photos. He paid them with cash and drugs. He called the violence simulated. In 2014, he published a book under his own name describing how to strangle a woman and dissolve her body in a basement bathtub with lye.
