3 More Bodies Found at Gilgo

Police say today's search has resulted in the discovery of three more body remains.

Suffolk Police have discovered three more bodies along Ocean Parkway between Gilgo and Oak Beach this afternoon, and said forensic testing to determine if any of the three are Shannon Gilbert should be done “very quickly.”

In a press conference at the site this afternoon, Suffolk Police Commissioner Richard Dormer said the “methodical’ search initiated this morning will continue through the day and tomorrow. The westbound lanes from Robert Moses Causeway to the Nassau County Line will remain closed.

“We are not giving up the search for Shannon if it is determined that these remains are not her,” Dormer said, calling the beach area between Gilgo and Oak Beach a crime scene.
