Gilgo Beach homicide victims ‘Peaches’ and her toddler’s identities to be announced: report

Cops are expected Wednesday to finally reveal the identity a woman dubbed “Peaches” and her 2-year-old daughter after their remains were found at Gilgo Beach nearly 30 years ago.

Nassau County investigators plan to release the victims’ names at a planned news conference later Wednesday, NBC reported, citing law enforcement sources.

The mother and daughter have long been linked to the Gilgo Beach murder probe.

The woman’s dismembered torso was found stuffed into a container in a wooded part of Hempstead Lake State Park back in June 1997.

Until now, she has only been referred to as Jane Doe 3 — or “Peaches” due to the tattoo of a bitten peach on her breast.

Her daughter’s skeletal remains, meanwhile, were uncovered in 2011.

DNA testing confirmed the girl, who was about 2 years old at the time of her death, was Peaches’ daughter.
