A woman and her toddler killed on Long Island in 1997, whose homicide has been linked to the Gilgo Beach serial killings, have been identified by New York authorities.

In 2010, police searching for a missing woman began finding human remains in the scrub along a barrier island parkway near New York’s Gilgo Beach.

Tanya Denise Jackson and her daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes — were found on Long Island, near the area where a serial killer operated.
