Suffolk County's top cop said Tuesday that a serial murderer could be on the loose, as authorities searched a pristine coastal island where four corpses have been found.
"We could have a serial killer," Police Commissioner Richard Dormer told reporters on the windswept barrier island where the bodies were found.
The bodies were found between Gilgo Beach and Cedar Beach, in heavy brush near Ocean Parkway, which runs along the narrow island.
As the investigation mushroomed on Tuesday, cops reached out to the FBI for help, considering it likely the probe would stretch beyond the state.
