A hunter found some human remains off a highway near Dartmouth in the southeastern Massachusetts area where the bodies of five young women, all murder victims, have been discovered in the last five months, police said. The hunter discovered the skeletal remains buried near an exit ramp off Interstate 195, state police said. The remains had apparently been there for some time and the sex and age of the body was not immediately determined. Investigators had been searching for more victims after the bodies of five young women had been found in the same area since July. Bristol County Dist. Atty. Ronald Pina said all five were murdered and that the killings appear to be linked.
