Summary: A Tampa man, 66-year-old Andrew Dykes, was arrested on Dec. 3 on a Nassau County warrant in connection with the 1997 murders of Tanya Denise Jackson and her two-year-old daughter, Tatiana. Genetic genealogy identified the victims in April 2025; Jackson had been known as "Peaches" and Tatiana as "Baby Doe." Tatiana's remains were found in 2011 on Long Island, linking the case to the Gilgo Beach investigations. Authorities previously offered a $25,000 reward and continue to develop the case.
