VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- A suitcase containing human remains was found floating near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel on Sunday, the third such discovery in the area this month.

A boater alerted police that he had found the suitcase floating off the second island of the bridge-tunnel, said Virginia Beach police spokesman Don Rimer.

The remains were sent to the state medical examiner's office in Norfolk. Detectives believe the third suitcase is related to the two found previously this month, Rimer said.

On May 11, a graduate student who was bird-watching on Fisherman's Island off Virginia's Eastern Shore found a suitcase containing body parts wrapped in plastic bags, reportedly including a human head. Less than a week earlier, a fisherman discovered a suitcase containing human remains near the fourth island of the bridge-tunnel.

Police described the remains as being those of a white male. Police said it was not immediately known how long the man had been dead or his identity

Holy monkey. I took my brother and his groomsmen (I'm the best man in his wedding) out for a fishing trip for his Bachelor Party on Saturday out along the Bridge Tunnel and we actually joked about finding something like that. Would've been nice to actually catch something... LOL
