take them. they didn t come. she was missing may 1st. yeah. but the police did not come to visit you until august? that s correct. nothing may, june, july, finally in august? right. four months? right. and that was missing persons. and you called the police immediately? yeah, well, they came in here, but as far as investigating it no. reporter: the suffolk police say indeed they did speak with mr. colletti several times that they have spoken with him several times since may 1st and they also say that he provided a written statement back in june last year but he dispute that. carol? allan, why wouldn t police question this guy sooner? i mean, was it because of this woman s background or what she did? reporter: carol, that s very,
to you, not only was i a law enforcement there, but i worked as a lifeguard at jones beach for 14 years. this problem or practice of discarding bodies along this strip of roadway, ocean parkway is not uncommon. this has been going on for quite some time. as you can tell by looking into the background of the shots with allan chernoff as well as information volunteered by law enforcement, it s very, very difficult terrain to traverse. the interesting thing here that people are probably not aware of is you wouldn t necessarily have to use the roadway, stop a vehicle to discard a body. you can access that beach with a four-wheel drive vehicle and more significantly, it is completely unpatrolled and unsupervised. what they are doing now is attempting to locate through the use of helicopters and high resolution cameras thermal imaging, if there are any indications of additional bodies. i want to ask larry about
those are his words, until they find a way to make sure that all passengers are safe and that no one is sleeping in the tower. there already have been six incidents reported this year involving an air traffic controller sleeping on the job. it is not what we were told but the pentagon is now acknowledging that u.s. warplanes are still bombing libya a military spokesman tells cnn that the u.s. has flown 97 sorties since handing the project over to nato, most for support, refueling and signal jamming, but on at least three occasion, u.s. jets have fired on targets. the search for a long island serial killer goes high-tech. fbi planes and helicopters are going to start flying over the suburban new york beaches where at least eight separate sets of human remains have been found. they will be shooting high-resolution aerial photos in an attempt to find the bones. other reasons why it is a very, very difficult area to navigate by foot, even the dogs are having trouble. allan chernoff joi

allan chernoff at jones beach. we want to continue the discussion on this. as we mentioned so far, eight sets of human remains have been found along a new york coastline. who is responsible. let s dig deeper in this case with retired nassau county police officer lou palumbo and larry. larry, let s start with you. we have talked about dna. in a case like this where victims may have been killed, how much dna is left? that s a tough question. basically, you do your testing and what you see is what you got. when you have evidence exposed to the environment, whether it s humidity or adverse temperatures or bacteria or other organisms that can degrade dna, after a period of time, you will not find any dna, or you ll find dna
