Overview
- Andrew Dykes, 66, was indicted by a Nassau County grand jury in the 1997 murder of Tanya Denise Jackson, long known as “Peaches.”
- He was arrested near Tampa about three hours after the indictment and made an initial appearance in Hillsborough County Court on Thursday.
- Dykes is jailed in Hillsborough County on a New York fugitive warrant pending extradition to Nassau County.
- Texas birth records identify Dykes as the father of Jackson’s daughter, Tatiana, though he has not been charged in the child’s killing.
- FBI-assisted genetic genealogy identified the mother and daughter in 2022–2023, and the case—once linked in public speculation to Gilgo Beach—remains separate from charges against Rex Heuermann.
