Pennsylvania State Police are assisting the investigation at the Conestoga Landfill in Caernarvon Township.
An NYPD spokesman says the possible homicide occurred in New York City.
Officials say there is no reason for the public to be concerned.
Weather cut the search short on Monday, but NYPD officers could return later in the week.
