Nightmare at Halloween attraction sparks hunt for more victims, 1 arrested
Investigators are urging the public to come forward as there may be more victims of an alleged serial sex offender who attacked a woman at a popular Halloween attraction.
Edward Eisenhard, 38, is facing a slew of charges after prosecutors in Bucks County, Pennsylvania say he sexually assaulted three female victims; one of them was under 12 years old.
"There are real monsters in the world," said District Attorney Joe Khan during a Tuesday news conference.
