"A Florida man reportedly charged with the cold case murder a Gulf War veteran whose remains - and those of her daughter - were found near Gilgo Beach serial killer victims has waived extradition. Andrew Dykes, 66, of Tampa, was arrested on Dec. 3 on a warrant for second-degree murder charge that Nassau County authorities filed, according to court records."
"Dykes is accused of killing Tanya Jackson, whose remains were partly found in Lakeview in 1997 and near Jones Beach in 2011 - and who was known only as "Peaches," for her tattoo, until Nassau authorities identified her in August - according to multiple reports. The remains of her approximately 2-year-old daughter, Tatiana Dykes, was found a few miles east on Ocean Parkway near Cedar Beach, on the Suffolk County side of the barrier island."
Andrew Dykes, 66, was arrested Dec. 3 on a Nassau County warrant charging him with second-degree murder. He is accused of killing Tanya Jackson, known as "Peaches" for a tattoo, whose remains were partly found in Lakeview in 1997 and near Jones Beach in 2011 and identified in August. The remains of her approximately two-year-old daughter, Tatiana Dykes, were found a few miles east on Ocean Parkway near Cedar Beach. Dykes signed documents waiving an extradition hearing the day after his arrest and is being held without bail in Hillsborough County. Transport timing to Nassau is unclear. Nassau prosecutors and other offices declined comment. Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said solving aging cases is extraordinarily challenging but investigators will never give up.
