Police are expected to release new information regarding the unsolved Gilgo Beach serial murders that took place nearly a decade ago.

Suffolk County police announced they will hold a press conference at 1 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 16, to announce new information regarding the case which involved 10 sets of human remains.

Police are expected to discuss new evidence and details about the use of new technology.

The case was opened in May 2010 when Suffolk County police were searching for a missing woman.

During the search, 10 sets of human remains were found along a vast stretch of Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach.

Police have only been able to identify half of the bodies found and there has never been an arrest in the case.

Last year, state officials gave the okay for Suffolk County detectives to use new genetic testing in the case which is not approved for use in New York.

The involvement of the FBI in the case made it possible for investigators to use the technology.

The results of the testing are expected to be released on Thursday.
