NEW YORK — Suffolk County authorities have identified another victim in the decade-long Gilgo Beach investigation, which they are expected to reveal at a 10:30 a.m. news conference in Hauppauge, sources familiar with the case have told ABC News.
The authorities are expected to identify Jane Doe No. 7, whose remains were found on Fire Island in 1996, the sources said. They were later linked by DNA to other human remains found along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in 2011.
Tierney said the identifications would be made by the FBI using genetic genealogy, “among other things." “We’re honing in on that, and I think we’ll have information on that -- on some of the identifications shortly,” Tierney said.Those victims -- a woman who investigators have nicknamed “Peaches” because of a tattoo she had, a toddler that was found with her and the remains of a man who was found separately -- have remained unidentified.
