'It's exceeding one in a billion that three people — this closely tied together— would all have brain tumors. When he started digging and looking for a link, the common link was Colonia High School,' says Matthew Stanmyre of NJ Advance Media.

Stanmyre joined WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill to explain the latest on these cases and what the investigation could entail.Hill: Brain tumors, relative to other types of cancer, are typically rare but can be very lethal. So, would you take us through what is known so far about this cluster? How many people do we mean here?

Some of these are non-cancerous, yet very debilitating forms of brain tumor. Some are the most awful worst kinds of brain cancer. You can find glioblastoma, which are terminal. Then making matters even worse, the same day that Michelle Lupiano was diagnosed with her brain tumor, Al's sister Angela DeCillis was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Unfortunately, hers was terminal, and she died in February.

Is the school built on some kind of a dumpsite? What steps are investigators taking to try to figure this out?
