A new link has been found between the Gilgo Beach killings and a torso found in Rockville Centre nearly 20 years ago.

Law enforcement sources tell News 12 Long Island that they have for years believed a torso found in 1997 in Hempstead Lake State Park was connected to body parts and the body of a toddler found at Gilgo Beach.

The torso became known as "Peaches" because of a distinct tattoo on her upper chest.

DNA results now confirm that "Peaches" is in fact "Jane Doe No. 3" - one of the sets of human remains found in April 2011 in Nassau County as part of the investigation into the Gilgo Beach serial killer. She was never identified.

The Nassau County medical examiner confirms the DNA also proves that "Peaches" is the mother of a female toddler found buried in Suffolk County in 2011.

A Connecticut tattoo artist named Steve Cullen told News 12 that he remembers giving a young woman the peaches tattoo and has contacted investigators.

"I've been tattooing for 30 years, not once have I ever seen a peach with a bite taken out of it," says Cullen. He says he recognized a photo of the tattoo as his work.

The Nassau County medical examiner had the DNA results since May 2015 and knew the link between "Peaches" and Gilgo. It wasn't until Tuesday that the medical examiner updated a federal database of missing persons, as required by law. That law came into effect over the summer.

New York State Police, Nassau police and Suffolk police had no comment for News 12 on the serial killer case.
