Gilgo Beach Victims 'Peaches' and Daughter Identified

Authorities have identified two previously unnamed victims in the Gilgo Beach serial killings case as Tanya Denise Jackson, a 26-year-old U.S. Army veteran known as 'Peaches,' and her 2-year-old daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes, previously known as 'Baby Doe.' Jackson's dismembered torso was found in a Rubbermaid container at Hempstead Lake State Park in 1997, and her daughter's remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Advanced DNA and genealogy research confirmed their identities and relationship. Officials have not established a direct link between these deaths and Rex Heuermann, the Manhattan architect charged with other murders in the case. Police have spoken with the child's father, who is not considered a suspect. Authorities continue to offer a $25,000 reward for information and urge the public to come forward as the investigation progresses.
