No trace of bodies was found Monday during a search along an access road near the oceanfront site where 10 sets of human remains were found earlier.

The Robert Moses Causeway, a few miles to the east, will be closed for a time Tuesday while officers search alongside it.

According to CBS affiliate WCBS, the dense underbrush along the Wantagh State Parkway was searched Monday; the area leads to Ocean Parkway. Ten sets of human remains have been found along Ocean Parkway since December.

In addition to state troopers, police officers from Nassau County and the state Department of Environmental Conservation were taking part in the search.

Police theorize the first four bodies - identified as women in their 20s who worked as prostitutes - are the work of a serial killer. The others haven't been identified.

The first remains were found during an investigation into the disappearance of a New Jersey prostitute, Shannan Gilbert, 24, last seen in Oak Beach a year ago. She has not been found.
