LINDEN, Calif. (AP) -- The search for remains of more potential victims of serial killers Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine has been called off Monday due to wet weather.

Over the weekend, authorities found more bones and other evidence in a well at an abandoned former cattle ranch near Linden.

The effort is focused in an area where Shermantine said there might be 10 or more victims from a methamphetamine-fueled killing spree he and Herzog were part of in the 1980s and 1990s.

The 300 bones and other items were found 45 feet deep in the well.

Sunday marked the fourth straight day that remains were found with the help of a map prepared by death row inmate Shermantine.
