LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (PIX11) – The possibly Gilgo Beach-related victims known only as 'Peaches' and her toddler daughter, 'Baby Doe,' have finally been named almost 30 years after their remains were found on Long Island.
Tanya Denise Jackson, 26, and her 2-year-old daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes, were identified by Nassau County Police officials on Wednesday. Their identifications could be a breakthrough in their 1997 unsolved slayings, according to authorities.
Police said they were still looking for suspects, and that the case of the two deaths "could or could not be" related to other Gilgo Beach killings.
Jackson was a 26-year-old single mother and U.S. Army veteran originally from Alabama and living in Brooklyn at the time of her death.
Nassau County CrimeStoppers has increased an award leading to an arrest to $25,000.
