3 more bodies found by Ocean Pkwy by Gilgo Beach

This is totally creepy!

From Newsday's website:

At least three bodies were found Monday in the same area a human skeleton was discovered Saturday, according to police and a source familiar with the investigation.

Three badly decomposing bodies, two of them wrapped in burlap sacks, were discovered Monday near Ocean Parkway, a source familiar with the investigation said.

As the sun set Monday night, Suffolk police were forced by darkness to stop the search, which was focused in an area of heavy underbrush just off the westbound lanes of Ocean Parkway in Gilgo Beach. The area is near a strip of Ocean Parkway with beachfront facing the Atlantic on one side, and marshlands, thick brush and a chain of small islands on the bay side.

Det. Lt. Gerard Pelkofsky of the Homicide Squad said a missing-person report was made in May for Shonnan Gilbert, 24, of Jersey City. Gilbert, who he said worked as a prostitute, met a client on Craigslist and arranged a meeting on Fire Island. She traveled with another man there to meet the client, where she was last seen alive on May 1, he said.

On Saturday, a canine unit was searching in the area, both because Gilbert disappeared nearby and also for training purposes. The unit found skeletal remains in underbrush, about 6 or 8 feet from the road's shoulder. Those remains were of a female, a source close to the investigation said.

After that discovery, detectives had difficulty doing a thorough search of the area because of the lack of light, Pelkofsky said. Heavy rain on Sunday prevented a canine unit from working there.

Detectives returned Monday, and a cadaver dog found a second body, also extremely decomposed, about 500 feet from the initial body, also in heavy underbrush near the roadway.

"Common sense tells us it's not a coincidence," Pelkofsky said. He confirmed the existence of two bodies, but said he could not comment further. "We found two and we're still looking," he said.

The bodies appear to have been there at least a month or likely longer; all will need to be identified through dental records or DNA officials said. No identifications have been made, and it's unclear if any of the bodies are Gilbert

FOUR bodies!!!! I feel horrible for these girls and their families. What scares me is they have no idea who did this, if there are more bodies or if there will be more bodies in the future

I seriously think there's a serial killer on Long Island. Two summers ago, there were several bodies found on the off ramps in Bellmore and Merrick from the SS. They had "quick" blurbs about them in Newsday and then you never heard about it again. I think there are more out there that are probably undiscovered.

Totally not sleeping tonight.

Way to be classy Newsday mentioning that the missing woman worked as a prostitute. It's not even confirmed that it is her.

Re: 3 more bodies found by Ocean Pkwy by Gilgo Beach

Ugh this is BEYOND frightening. I think there's a serial killer on the loose for sure. Awful.
