The site where Tanya Jackson's extremities were found

On April 11th, 2011, the police discovered the arms and legs of an unidentified woman at this site in Jones Beach State Park.

The victim was nicknamed "Peaches" because she had a tattoo of a peach on her left breast.

DNA tests confirmed that the remains belonged to a woman whose torso had been dumped at Hempstead Lake State Park in June 1997.

In April 2025, the Nassau County Police Department publicly identified "Peaches" as 26-year-old Tanya Denise Jackson.

It has long been believed that Jackson was the third victim of the Long Island serial killer. However, Nassau officials have yet to rule out the possibility that she is unconnected to the Gilgo Beach case.

This site is just 3.7 miles west of the area where the authorities uncovered the remains of the Gilgo Four.

Notably, Jackson had a two-year-old daughter named Tatiana Dykes, whose remains were discovered by a search team near Overlook Beach on April 4th, 2011.

After dumping Peaches' torso at Hempstead Lake State Park, the killer put her extremities into a plastic bag and threw them into this section of the thicket beside Ocean Parkway. He also deposited Tatiana's remains further east.

This means that he went to the effort of using three separate dump sites following the murder. It is also possible that he used a fourth site, as Jackson's skull has never been recovered.
