So, like, there’s this victim from Gilgo Beach, right? She’s been a Jane Doe for, like, forever, but finally the police are gonna spill the beans about who she is on Wednesday. They call her “Peaches” ’cause she had a peach tattoo on her when she was found in 1997. Pretty wild, huh?
The lady’s torso was all chopped up and tossed in a garbage bin with a red towel and a floral pillowcase in a park in Nassau County. They think she was killed like three days before they found her. Crazy stuff, I know. FBI says she could’ve had a cesarean section ’cause of a scar on her belly. Oh, and she had this peach tattoo near her heart, with a bite taken out of it. Weird, right?
Fast forward to 2011, and they found the rest of her body parts at Jones Beach State Park. And guess what? They found another woman’s remains too, plus an unidentified toddler. Turns out, that kid was most likely “Peaches'” daughter. Talk about a messed up family situation, huh?
Flash forward to 2022, and the FBI is down in Alabama trying to track down relatives of some dude named Elijah Howard who might know who “Peaches” is. Apparently, that peach tattoo on her chest and her kid are the key to cracking the case. So, yeah, stay tuned for more drama.
Oh, and let’s not forget about Rex Heuermann, the main suspect in the Gilgo Beach killings. He’s fighting DNA evidence in court like it’s nobody’s business. They say he’s behind the deaths of all those women found near Gilgo Beach. Real spooky stuff, if you ask me.
So, like, Heuermann is this architect from Manhattan, right? And they think he’s responsible for offing a bunch of women, mostly sex workers, over the years. They found the bodies of four women while looking for another missing girl, Shannan Gilbert. It’s like a real-life horror movie out there.
Heuermann got nabbed in 2023 for three of the murders and then later charged with four more. But get this, he says he’s innocent. Classic move, right? And now they’re trying to figure out when his trial’s gonna happen. The prosecution wants one big trial, but his lawyers are like, nah, let’s break it up. Drama, drama, drama.
