Long Island Serial Killer

Long Island Serial Killer - A serial killer might have abandoned four bodies that have been found along a desolate, wind-swept stretch of highway not far from Long Island's Jones Beach, police said Tuesday.

The bodies were dumped from a vehicle at different times, perhaps beginning as much as a year and a half to two years ago, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer said Tuesday.

"We're looking at that — that we could have a serial killer," Dormer said in response to a reporter's question.

The first body, discovered Saturday, was found a few feet into the brush off the road, police said. One body was found 500 feet west of the first body and another was 500 feet east of the first body. A fourth body was found about 1,000 feet from the first body.

At least two of the bodies are female, but authorities haven't determined the gender of the other two, Dormer said. Investigators were taking DNA samples and examining dental records to try to identify the remains.

Authorities were focusing on two missing persons in particular — Shannan Gilbert, 24, of Jersey City, N.J., and Megan Waterman, 22, of Scarborough, Maine. The young women have been missing since the spring.

Dormer said the four bodies appeared to have been killed elsewhere and then brought to the site.

"We're going to continue to search in this area to find out if there's any more evidence, forensics, that kind of thing, and if there's possibly more bodies," Dormer said.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
