Long Island cold case murder: Andrew Dykes arrested in connection to death of victim known as 'Peaches' - ABC7 New York Man arrested, facing murder charges linked to Long Island cold case victim 'Peaches': sources
I was absolutely not expecting this, gosh. An arrest, after all this time, so soon after their identification, and someone to actually take to trial.

I'm wondering if they retested evidence and instead of finding RH's profile, they found this guy's. Tatiana was found long after she died, but Tanya's torso was found very soon after she was killed, and in a container, with manchester and paper towels. The potential for transfer evidence being found would be good.

MOO

from the article:

Andrew Dykes, 66, was arrested Wednesday near Tampa on a warrant out of Nassau County, New York over the 1997 death of Tanya Jackson, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
another article:

Thursday, Andrew Dykes, 66, appeared in front of a Hillsborough County Judge and was told he is accused of murder in New York....

Dykes was arrested at his home on Glenn Cross Drive in Ruskin on Wednesday.

Guy arrested has the same surname as the baby. These guys who just decide to kill their families to make their lives easier just make me furious. That's some Chris Watts level depravity right there. Killing your baby girl and dumping her in the brambles, cutting your partner in pieces and scattering her along the shore. Evil.

Yes per newsday

He is the father of Jackson's daughter, Tatiana Marie Dykes, whose remains were found along THE Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in 2011. He has not been charged in the child's killing at this time, a source said.

Good question. It could be that's how they found him.

Some sources are showing a photo, but they are behind a paywall. But looking at the photo, this old article from 2011 seems to be him. He was in the military.

"I love doing things for myself and being self-reliant," Dykes said. "A lot of people don't actually understand what rich or wealthy means. They think rich is a dollar number, an amount of money that you make in a year. You can make as much money as you want, but if you spend more than you make, you're broke."

I think he was pretty rich when he had a beautiful baby girl, but I guess he didn't value that, since he literally threw her away like garbage.

MOO

dmb as I'm not 100% sure it's the right Andrew Dykes.

well that means they have his DNA on Tania.

Now, Tatiana’s genome shares half of Dykes’ DNA. If he is her father. Maybe with the increased granularity WGS provides, he can be linked to her murder. If there are rootless hairs on tatiana’s remains.

This gives me the chills.

IMHOO
