On June 19, 2026, Philadelphia police and the FBI began a systematic search of a house at 417 West Chew Avenue in the Olney neighborhood, removing electronics and other household items as part of an investigation that ties the property to at least seven missing women, five of whom are believed dead.
The search was prompted by a parking violation near Independence Hall on the same day, leading authorities to examine the Olney residence. The house has become a focal point in a multi‑year probe of several unsolved disappearances in the city.
