Police in New York hunting a suspected serial killer say they have now found a total of eight sets of human remains on a remote beach. Officers using helicopters, sniffer dogs and a finger-tip search of the coastal area 45 miles east of New York City have uncovered the grisly evidence over a period of four months.
Last December, four bodies were discovered as part of the search for 24-year-old Shannon Gilbert, who vanished in May 2010 after apparently arranging to meet a client through Craigslist.
At 4.45am on the morning of her disappearance, she rang the doorbell of a man who lived in a gated community on the beach, asking for his help.
She fled when he tried to ring the police.
A few moments later, an unidentified man drove past the house and said he was looking for the woman, but then sped away.
Neither the woman nor the man was seen by the neighbour again.
Detectives believe all of the victims were sex workers who used the internet service's 'Personals' section, but admit they have few leads in their enquiry.
The search was due to resume on Tuesday, although police say the thick coastal brush is hampering their search.
Dominick Varrone, Suffolk's chief of detectives, says the cadaver dogs "don't like getting smacked in the face with the bramble."
