A person has been taken into custody on Long Island in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders, multiple law enforcement sources have told ABC News

A large police operation was occurring in Massapequa Park in Nassau County, led by Suffolk County Police, New York State Police and other law enforcement partners.

Fears of a serial killer on the South Shore of Long Island began in 2010 with the discovery of a woman’s body along Ocean Parkway. Over the next year, the bodies of seven more women, a man and a toddler were discovered in the same general area.

Suffolk County Police have recently brought to bear new DNA technology to try and catch the killer.
