The seven victims accounted for in this case range in age from 4 to 16 - but now, investigators believe there very well could have been more victims tied to Long.

Long has ties to Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, and Montana, the news release says.  Investigators now believe that Allan Richard Long could have committed multiple sexual assault crimes in the states mentioned above, and possibly others - as he reportedly had access to families through his work.

Prior to his arrest, Long was employed as a volunteer firefighter, tow truck driver, truck dispatcher, as well as, an over-the-road truck driver.

As per the news release, investigators say their records of child sexual assault cases affiliated with Long date all the way back to 2001, but his crimes could've even started before that.
