Police have recovered another skeleton from a wooded area in Manorville, N.Y., that appears to be something of a dumping ground for dead bodies, after a man jogging with his dog alerted authorities. 
 
 “The [remains] have been there for several years,” a spokeswoman for the Suffolk County Police Department told ABCNews.com. “There is no indication they were connected to the others, but obviously we’re going to look into that.” 
 
 The remains of four other individuals have been found in the area in recent years, but the mystery behind them has gone largely unsolved. 
 
 Matt Samuel, who found the latest skeleton, told the New York Daily News he had walked by the area “a hundred times before” but noticed Friday night that something unusual was sticking out of the ground. 
 
 “It was wrapped in bed sheets and a plastic bag. It was a whole body, but just the bones, there was trees growing up through it, so it has been there a long time,” he said. 
 
 The partial remains of two women who were found in 2000 and 2011 in the wooded area are believed to be victims of the Gilgo Beach serial killer, who discarded body parts in the Gilgo Beach area in Nassau County, as well as some in Manorville, which is 30 miles away. 
 
 The unidentified remains of two men were also discovered in 2000 and 2003, however they are not believed to be related to the Gilgo Beach murderer, police have said. 
 
 The medical is expected to release a report in the next few weeks that could identify the latest skeleton and the cause of death. ||||| Another human skeleton has turned up in a wooded area on the eastern end of Long Island, in a town where at least four other sets of human remains have been discovered in recent years. 
 
 The latest set of bones was discovered at around 6:30 p.m. Friday in a pine barrens in Manorville. A resident of the town, Matt Samuel, said he was walking through the area with his dog when he made the find. 
 
 "I probably walked by it a hundred times before, and I saw it kind of sticking out of the ground, and it looked unusual. I looked a little closer and from there discovered that it was human remains," he said, adding that it looked like the body had decomposed many years ago. "It was wrapped in bed sheets and a plastic bag, It was a whole body, but just the bones, there was trees growing up through it, so it has been there a long time." 
 
 Suffolk County Police said the undergrowth suggested the body had been dumped about five years ago, but an anthropologist was being brought in to examine the site. The age, gender and identity of the person were unknown. 
 
 The body adds to a growing list of unsolved mysteries involving corpses found in the town, some of which lies within the Long Island Central Pine Barrens, a protected forest that is one of the wilder areas on the heavily suburban island. 
 
 Between 2000 and 2003, four bodies were discovered in the town's forests. Two were men, found not far from the site of Friday's discovery, near where the Long Island Expressway cuts through the town. They have never been identified. 
 
 Two others were women who had been beheaded and dismembered, possibly by the same mass murderer. 
 
 Their heads and other parts of their bodies were discovered last spring when police on the trail of a suspected serial killer searched a long stretch of beach highway on a barrier island 45 miles to the west. That search also turned up eight other corpses, several of which belonged to missing prostitutes. Others remain unidentified, and police are still unsure how many of the killings are related. Investigators also discovered the body of an 11th person on the same stretch of barrier islands in December, but have said they believe that woman, also a missing prostitute, drowned accidentally. 
 
 One of the women whose remains were partly found in Manorville has been identified as Jessica Taylor, 20, of New York City. Her torso was found about four miles from the site of Friday's discovery. 
 
 Suffolk County Deputy Inspector Kevin Fallon told reporters Saturday that it was too early to tell whether the new skeleton is related to any of those other cases.
– Still more bones have been found in a region of Long Island where at least five bodies have been discovered. A man jogging with his dog discovered the skeletal remains in Manorville woods, a suspected dumping ground for a serial killer linked to as many as 11 bodies in a wide swath of the island. The jogger said he had passed the spot “a hundred times before,” but noticed last time that something unusual was sticking out of the ground, reports AP. “It was wrapped in bed sheets and a plastic bag. It was a whole body, but just the bones, there was trees growing up through it, so it has been there a long time,” he said. The remains of two women found nearby in 2000 and 2011 may be the victims of the Gilgo Beach serial killer, who police believe hid most of his bodies at the Nassau County beach some 45 miles away. The unidentified remains of two men were also discovered in 2000 and 2003 in a nearby stretch of Manorville woods, but they're not believed to be linked to the Gilgo Beach killer, reports ABC News. Investigators are now trying to determine the age and sex of the newly discovered victim, believed to be killed about five years ago, reports ABC News.
