Investigators scouring dense undergrowth for victims of a suspected serial killer along a remote New York beach area found three more sets of remains Monday, authorities said, bringing the total number of bodies to eight.That victim has not been identified, and police have not positively connected it to the bodies of four prostitutes found nearby in December.
Police searching on foot and from above in helicopters and fire truck buckets found the latest three sets of remains as they scoured tick-infested underbrush and evergreens on the barrier island south of Long Island, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer said.
The four dead prostitutes were found in December in the area, a 4-foot-tall tangle of sea grass punctuated by scrubby pine trees. Police suspect a serial killer but so far have no suspects.
Investigators have searched the area, roughly 7.5 miles, several times since December. Dormer said the discovery of the latest remains gives investigators new possible leads into the killings of all the victims.
The latest discovery was about a mile east of where the other four were found. The four dead women's remains were strewn about 500 yards apart.
