纽约当局悬赏25，000美元征集谋杀一名退伍军人和她两岁的孩子的悬案信息，这两人的尸体在长岛被发现多年后才被确认，这一案件长期以来一直与吉尔戈海滩谋杀案.
拿骚县当局周三确认受害者为26岁的坦尼娅·杰克逊(Tanya Jackson)和她的女儿塔蒂亚娜·戴克斯(Tatiana Dykes)。
母亲的躯干于1997年6月在亨普斯特德湖州立公园被发现。受害者被称为三号无名女尸，由于她身上的纹身，她一直被称为桃子。
她的女儿于2011年4月在吉尔戈海滩附近被发现，并被称为小母鹿。她的遗体是在搜寻Shannan Gilbert的过程中找到的，Shannan Gilbert在2010年5月绝望地拨打911报警电话，启动了搜寻工作，最终在长岛南岸发现了几具遗体。
2011年4月，在距吉尔戈海滩以西7英里的拿骚县海洋公园路附近，也发现了更多母亲的遗体。
2015年，调查人员通过DNA分析确定这两人是母女，尽管他们仍然不知道他们的身份。
美国联邦调查局通过调查性基因谱系研究协助最终确认了受害者的身份。据拿骚县警方侦探队长斯蒂芬·菲茨帕特里克说，特工和侦探采访了家庭成员，并获得了DNA样本以确认身份。
周三，当局呼吁任何可能知道受害者的人站出来，包括那些可能在军队中与杰克逊一起服役的人。
“我们有27年的时间来追赶，”菲茨帕特里克在新闻发布会上说。
Fitzpatrick没有讨论该案件的证据，他说该案件可能与Gilgo Beach系列谋杀案无关。
他说:“尽管由于发现尸体的时间和地点，Tanya和Tatiana通常与Gilgo Beach连环杀人案有关，但我们不排除他们的案件与调查无关的可能性。”
Rex Heuermann被指控犯有其他七起吉尔戈海滩谋杀案，但他没有被指控杀害杰克逊。
起诉Heuermann案的萨福克县地方检察官Ray Tierney拒绝对邻近的拿骚县警方宣布的进展发表评论，理由是正在进行的关于DNA证据的预审听证会。
“在正在进行的审前听证会结束之前，达·蒂尔尼避免对Rex Heuermann和任何与调查无关的话题发表任何评论。一旦听证会结束，达·蒂尔尼将继续接受媒体采访，”他的女发言人在一份声明中说。
菲茨帕特里克说，杰克逊与她的家人疏远，从未被报告失踪。
她从1993年7月到1995年2月在圣安东尼奥的萨姆·休斯顿堡服兵役;佐治亚州奥古斯塔的戈登堡;和密苏里州欧扎克的伦纳德·伍德堡。
这位阿拉巴马州人1997年作为单身母亲住在布鲁克林。菲茨帕特里克说，塔蒂亚娜的父亲一直与警方合作。
拿骚县地方检察官安妮·唐纳利称此案中的工作是“巨大的”
她在简报中说，“解决像这样的老化案件非常具有挑战性，尤其是当证据和人们的记忆随着时间的推移而消退的时候。”。"我们永远不会放弃，不会放弃一宗未破的谋杀案，不会放弃坦尼娅和塔蒂亚娜."

Authorities in New York are offering a $25,000 reward for information in the cold case murders of an Army veteran and her 2-year-old child, who were recently identified years after their remains were discovered on Long Island, in a case that has been long been associated with theGilgo Beach killings.
Nassau County authorities identified the victims on Wednesday as Tanya Jackson, 26, and her daughter, Tatiana Dykes.
The torso of the mother was found in June 1997 in Hempstead Lake State Park. The victim, known as Jane Doe No. 3, had until now been known as Peaches due to a tattoo on her body.
Her daughter was found in April 2011 near Gilgo Beach and had been known as Baby Doe. Her remains were located during the search for Shannan Gilbert, whose desperate 911 call to police in May 2010 kicked off a search that would eventually result in the discovery of several sets of remains along the southern shore of Long Island.
More of the mother's remains were also discovered off of Ocean Parkway in Nassau County, 7 miles west of Gilgo Beach, in April 2011.
In 2015, investigators determined the two were mother and daughter through DNA analysis, though they still did not know their identities.
The FBI assisted in ultimately identifying the victims through investigative genetic genealogy studies. Agents and detectives interviewed family members and obtained DNA samples to confirm the identities, according to Nassau County Police Detective Captain Stephen Fitzpatrick.
On Wednesday, authorities called on anyone who may have known the victims to come forward, including those who may have served with Jackson in the military.
"We have 27 years of catching up to do," Fitzpatrick said during a press briefing.
Fitzpatrick did not discuss evidence in the case, which he said may not be connected to the Gilgo Beach serial murders.
"Although Tanya and Tatiana have commonly been linked to the Gilgo Beach serial killings because of the timing and locations of their recovered remains, we are not discounting the possibility that their cases are unrelated from that investigation," he said.
Rex Heuermann has been charged with seven other Gilgo Beach killings, but he has not been charged with killing Jackson.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, who is prosecuting the Heuermann case, declined to comment on the development announced by police in neighboring Nassau County, citing an ongoing pretrial hearing about DNA evidence.
"DA Tierney has refrained from making any comments about Rex Heuermann and any topics even tangentially involved to the investigation, pending completion of the ongoing pre-trial hearing. Once the hearing is concluded, DA Tierney will resume speaking with the media," his spokeswoman said in a statement.
Jackson was estranged from her family and was never reported missing, Fitzpatrick said.
She served in the Army from July 1993 to February 1995 at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio; Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia; and Fort Leonard Wood in the Missouri Ozarks, police said.
The Alabama native was living in Brooklyn in 1997 as a single mother. The father of Tatiana has been cooperative with police, Fitzpatrick said.
Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly called the work in the case "tremendous."
"Solving aging cases like these are extraordinarily challenging, especially as evidence and people's memories fade in time," she said during the briefing. "We will never give up, not on an unsolved homicide, not on Tanya and Tatiana."
