On June 28, 1997 a dismembered body is discovered by a father and his daughter out for a walk in Hempstead Lake State Park in Lakeview, New York. The torso is found in a rubber-maid container along with a red towel and a floral pillowcase. The head, both arms, both legs below the knee, all severed from the body and have not been found. A unique tattoo is found of a peach with a bite taken out of it that leads Investigators to publish a picture of the tattoo in a national tattoo magazine in hopes of finding an artist who remembered such a tattoo. Tattoo artist Steve Cullen in Connecticutt claimed to remember giving the tattoo to a young black woman, 18 or 19 years old. The body remained  unidentified and was given the name "Peaches" and she is listed as one of the possible victims of the Long Island Serial Killer.  In 2011 the remains of a toddler are discovered that are identified in 2016 as belonging to "Peaches",  but still, no name identification. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dive into the investigation of "Peaches" and her toddler to determine if they are part of the Gilgo murders or not, and if not, who killed the mother and daughter.
