Long Island serial killer victims

The search for missing New Jersey woman Shannan Gilbert continues Tuesday along a remote Long Island beach after investigators discovered three additional sets of human remains Monday, bringing the total number of bodies found in the area to eight. Pictured here victim Megan Waterman.

The new remains are in addition to the remains of a victim found in the area last week, about 45 miles east of New York City. That victim has not been identified, and police have not positively connected those remains to the bodies of four prostitutes found nearby in December. Pictured here victim Megan Waterman.

Police discovered the bodies while searching for 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert, who went missing in May in the area, and are investigating whether any of the newly-discovered remains are hers. The search for Gilbert is expected to resume Tuesday. Gilbert, like the other women whose remains have been identified, reportedly advertised as a prostitute on Craigslist.
