There is no picture of her torso released publicly. The only pictures are of the tattoo detail, the container, and the other items found with her such as the pillowcase.
Her limbs were completely skeletonised when found, as it had been over a decade. There is no publicity available photo of them.
There would have to be some extraordinary reason for showing the mutilated torso of this young woman. The last thing one would want is for her remains to be further desecrated.

Something I wonder from the tattoo is the appearance of what appears to be letters or some such similar shapes on the left leaf. They don’t appear to match or resemble the notable characteristics of regular peach tree leaves, like the veins or projections we see come off of them. I recall other commenters mentioning they noticed the shapes too and some also perceived the shapes to be letters too. I wonder if the tattoo artists recalls what these shapes are, why they were added and if they were included as part of the signature of the artist himself or were they added due to a special request by Peaches herself? If it is the latter, I wonder if the tattoo artists recalls what the significance of the addition was to her? For example, were they her initials, the initials of a loved one, a place or town she considered home or were the shapes supposed to look like something or someone important to her? Perhaps if the figures on the left leaf are indeed intentional and could provide more insight into who Peaches was as a person and people/things that were important to her or beloved, it could further lead to the discovery of her identification, and thereby hopefully her daughter as well, directly or to family members, friends or place that could lead to this insight?
l to r: 2 inch peach/heart tattoo on left breast; Rubbermaid container held torso of black female; floral pillowcase and red towel also found inside container
Hempstead Lake State Pk, Lakeview
Nassau County, NY
28 June 1997
West side of Lakeside Drive, 200 yards north of Peninsula Boulevard, Hempstead Lake State Park. -- Black female torso. Arms, head, and legs below the knee severed, found in green Rubbermaid container, with red towel and floral pillow sham, 16-30 years old.
She had an abdominal scar from a cesarean section and a tattoo of a peach in the shape of a heart with a bite taken out of it and two drips falling from its core on her left breast.
Dead up to three days.
"With no leads to the womans identity, the police published a picture of the approximately two-inch wide tattoo in a national tattoo magazine, in the hopes of finding the artist who did the work. They received a call from a man in Connecticut who claimed he remembered giving the tattoo to a woman.
The artist said he remembered the customer as a young black woman, about 18 or 19 years old, who was accompanied by two women, an aunt and a cousin. During the session, he also claimed she told him she was from either the Bronx or Long Island and that she was in Connecticut because having trouble with her boyfriend at the time. It is possible the woman had other tattoos on her arms or lower legs that the killer did not want found." (Doe Network)
'They call her Peaches,' Nassau County Medical Examiner Eric Smith says of his law enforcement colleagues, as he thumbs through photographs of unidentified bodies in the back room of the county morguesome battered, swollen faces, others clay reproductions with glass eyes.
Her official name is U-037859772."
"A scar on the womans lower abdomen showed she had given birth by Cesarean."
"An autopsy revealed she had been dead no more than three days when she was found." (LI Press)

I see, when her arms and legs were found was her hands and feet also found in the same trash bag?
That is incorrect. Celina claimed it was a teen boy that was not outside of the family and church group. But there are rumors it was a cousin : "Authorities responded by announcing they have no information concerning Celina's child's father and statements made by others were purely speculation, although it has been rumored that one of Celina's cousins fathered her child."
They were all found together in a plastic bag, yes.
Which press conference did he say that?At that same press conference, Tierney told the Press that the Task Force was working withNassau law enforcement to identify Peaches and her daughter.

The article isn't extremely clear, but it sounds like it was a press conference back in September that also mentioned Asian Doe..
That's not letters in the tattoo it is a very poorly done tattoo with an attempt at color shading.Something I wonder from the tattoo is the appearance of what appears to be letters or some such similar shapes on the left leaf. They don’t appear to match or resemble the notable characteristics of regular peach tree leaves, like the veins or projections we see come off of them.

I also wonder due to the presence of the pillowcase and towel found with the remains if at the time of their horrific murders, if Peaches and her daughter were in their own home or residence at the time or rather than seeing at client at the time, if Peaches was unfortunately misled by the perp to believe he was moving them to another location to call home, such as his own place or another residence he procured for them, and that Peaches packed hers and her daughter’s belongings while under the false that they would be safe and with the promise the move would be in the best interest and to a better home? Perhaps there were more belongings and evidence, including perhaps a backpack, suitcase or car seat, that was present at the time the crime were tragically carried out and then were later disposed of in a nearby dump or landfill?
If not, I wonder if that any landlords, sub-letters, renters or those managing any nearby hotels or motels on LI or the Bronx, at the time of Peaches and her daughter’s disappearances and murder recall not be able to get in touch with the person/persons renting or residing in their apartment or hotel/motel room and later finding the room supposedly abandoned but with the previous residents’ belongings, such as clothes, toys, food, bags, pictures, phone books, diaries, official documents, still inside? If so, do they recall what they did with said belongings afterwards or was any type of record of the items and their owners created or complaint filed at the time? Perhaps such records or memories could help LE narrow down possible identities for Peaches and her daughter, neighbors or friends who could give more insight into their lives and perhaps help trace their possible movements leading up to their terrible murders, possible POIs and locations or people they may want to interview to further help get justice for the both of them and to provide answers to any concerned loved one who have been looking for them?
Just my own thoughts or theories
Of course could be wrong or irrelevant if LE has already tried or ruled these possibilities and I just wasn’t aware at this time
We have so little to work with. Every sign points to that LE may know a lot more, thankfully.
Thank you! I watched them all and can't seem to find him Tierney ever mention Peaches. I wish I could find it.
