UPDATE (6/3/15) -- State police said Wednesday Chloe Isaacs was arrested in upstate New York.

BEAR CREEK TOWNSHIP -- State police have arrested one person and are looking for two others in connection with a kidnapping and brutal assault of a woman.

Troopers arrested Jerone Moore, 31, Tuesday. He is charged with numerous offenses including attempted homicide for his alleged role in a kidnapping and assault last October.

State police are still looking for Nygee Taylor, 25, and Chloe Isaacs, 21, for the same kidnapping and assault.

Troopers said the investigation began in October when a bloody and naked woman was found wandering in a wooded area in Bear Creek Township, yelling for help.

Sandra Menzeo lives in that area around Lake Aleeda and remembers how shocking that was for neighbors.

“And it was absolutely freezing cold out that particular night. It was in October, so it was freezing cold and this girl had no clothing, burned, beaten,” said Menzeo.

Troopers said the woman told them she had been kidnapped and beaten. The victim told investigators on October 5, Moore and Isaacs picked her up at house in Pittston around 4 p.m. They took her to a house on North Hancock Street in Wilkes-Barre where several women attacked her, stripping off her clothes and beating her.

The victim was then allegedly placed in a barrel for four hours.

Then around 11 p.m., state police say Moore and Taylor drove her to woods around Lake Aleeda and dumped her there. Investigators say Moore slit her throat before the men left her naked and bloody.

The victim was able to walk and yell for help. That's how a resident found her. The victim was treated and released from the hospital.

“No one, for any reason deserves that kind of treatment, so I'm glad that from what I understand she was released from the hospital and that she was okay,” said Menzeo.

Investigators ask anyone with information on Nygee Taylor or Chloe Isaacs to call the state police at 570-697-2000.
