NY officials say latest phase of beach search ends

OAK BEACH, N.Y. (AP) - April 7, 2011

Eight sets of human remains have been found since December, including four bodies since last week.

Suffolk County officials say the latest four-day search along Ocean Parkway is ending. Investigators in neighboring Nassau County have announced plans to scour the portion of the highway in their jurisdiction.

Detectives suspect a serial killer may be responsible for the deaths of four prostitutes found in December. But they have yet to link the most recent four sets of remains to that case or identify them. All the bodies were found within three miles of each other on the parkway, which leads to the popular Jones Beach.
