BABYLON, N.Y. — New York authorities have determined that four decomposed bodies found along a remote beach are all women.

Investigators are looking into whether a serial killer is responsible for their deaths. Police in Long Island’s Suffolk County are expected to meet with the FBI on Wednesday.

The first of the decomposed corpses was found Saturday by an officer and his cadaver dog. Three more, all scattered within a quarter-mile, were found two days later.

Police found the decomposed remains just feet from the roadway during an ongoing search for a missing prostitute last known to be headed to nearby Fire Island. They believe the four were killed elsewhere and then brought to the site.
