'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.

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?
