The identities of two more victims of the Gilgo Beach murders have been confirmed, 27 years after their brutal deaths. Tanya Denise Jackson, a 26-year-old US Army veteran, and her two-year-old daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes, were identified during a Nassau County press conference; Jackson’s dismembered torso was found in 1997, and Tatiana’s remains were linked to her mother in 2016 through DNA. Suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann, already charged with seven murders in Long Island, has not been charged in connection with Jackson and Dykes’ deaths.
