Devon and Cornwall Police are continuing to scour the woods with the help of officers from across the UK.
Earlier this month, human remains were found following a weeks-long search for a missing man Daniel.
The 43-year-old vanished last month from St Austell, in Cornwall.
It is now believed Mr Coleman was killed on a date between June 2 and July 7, with cops charging James Desborough with his murder.
But now, three weeks later, police and crime commissioner Alison Hernandez told a panel that a number of “dead bodies” have been discovered.
Ms Hernandez said: “Some of the elements of that operation I can’t speak about but some of the things are very obvious.
“As you know there is a large crime scene that has been identified in Cornwall that is requiring a lot of effort to even scene guard the area.
“The level of expertise, some of the mutual aid we’ve brought in, is expertise in specific types of investigations that we didn’t have.
“The National Crime Agency is supporting the organisation at the moment.
“I want to thank all the other forces that are coming in at a very busy time for themselves to offer mutual aid.
“It’s largely investigative mutual aid that we’ve brought in.
“Until some of those elements have been established of exactly what we’re dealing with there, it will be made public at that time.
“I know there’s been some information in the media. We’ve got a huge forensic tent down there.
“Lots of forensics officers, obviously we’ve found dead bodies in that wood.
“We’re just trying to establish how many there may be at this point in time and whether we are aware of who they are or what might have happened to them.
“So we also don’t know how long they may have been there, some of them.”
Units from the National Crime Agency are also assisting with the search effort.
