A 42-year-old man from Duncannon in Perry County was charged Sunday with homicide, kidnapping and abuse of a corpse after the body of Erica Shultz, Bloomsburg, was found in a wooded area east of Hobbie Road in Butler Twp.
Harold David Haulman III admitted to killing Shultz, who was autistic and whom he met on an online dating site in November.
He was taken into custody and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility following an arraignment before Magisterial District Judge Daniel OâDonnell in Drums.
Haulman was denied bail because of the homicide charge and for being a threat to the public and himself, authorities said.
