    About 125 searchers, some with dogs and others on horseback, scoured the area Monday. Police have not determined whether the search will include sending divers into a 40-acre pond that’s part of a wildlife refuge.

    The new search area is along Ocean Parkway in Nassau County. Officers in neighboring Suffolk County uncovered eight sets of human remains in recent months. A New Jersey woman who was the initial focus of the search is still missing.

    The area is thick with underbrush, creating difficult conditions. A thick fog delayed an aerial search early Monday.

    Authorities believe the deaths may be the work of a serial killer. No suspect has been identified.
