Overview

• Tanya Denise Jackson, nicknamed 'Peaches' due to a tattoo, and her daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes, were identified through advanced DNA and genetic genealogy techniques.
• Jackson's remains were first found in a container at Hempstead Lake State Park in 1997, and her daughter's skeletal remains were discovered along Ocean Parkway in 2011.
• Authorities emphasized that while the pair's deaths have long been associated with the Gilgo Beach case, they may be unrelated to the suspected serial killings.
• No arrests have been made in the case, and Nassau County police are offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
• The identification marks a significant step in the decades-long investigation, but officials continue to seek leads and investigate other unresolved cases linked to the area.
