On June 28, 1997, in a park in upstate New York, a discarded plastic container was found holding part of a woman's torso in a state of decomposition. Because the killer had amputated her head and limbs, the police had no way of identifying her. The only clue was a tattoo of a peach with a bite taken out of it on the victim's left breast. For this reason, for almost three decades, the police and the American media referred to her by the grim nickname "Peaches" (or Unidentified Victim #3). In 2011 (14 years later), the police discovered the remaining skeletal remains on Gilgo Beach, a considerable distance from the original site. Most gruesomely, alongside her bones lay the remains of a child about two years old. DNA tests confirmed that the child was her daughter. Just after discovering the victim's identity, police followed up on old leads and discovered that Tanya had had a complicated romantic relationship with a man named Andrew Dykes (the baby's biological father). In December 2025, Andrew Dykes (then 66 years old and hiding in Florida) was arrested by police. Authorities had quietly collected DNA from a straw in a glass he had discarded, and the results perfectly matched the DNA samples left on Tanya's body. It turned out that Tanya and her daughter were not murdered by some random serial killer. They were brutally murdered and their bodies hidden by the man she loved, the father of her child, to cover up an extramarital affair. The case was closed after 28 years (from 1997 to the end of 2025), providing long-overdue answers and justice for both victims. For decades, the identities of the two remained a mystery, as she lived a private life and had cut off all contact with her family, so no one reported her missing. It wasn't until April 2025, thanks to remarkable advances in DNA genealogy technology, that US police officially identified them: The mother, "Peaches," was Tanya Denise Jackson (26 years old, a veteran.
