Longtime Long Island reporter Mary Murphy was out first with new information.

Andrew Dykes, who is being charged with the murder of Tanya Jackson, who he was allegedly involved with, he fathered a child with her, he was from the South.

Uh, he was based in Texas.

He and Tanya Jackson served at the same military base in Texas.

One thing, though, that I find very interesting, that I was told that he served for 21 years in the US Army from 1980 till 2021, and that he achieved the status of medical sergeant, and it was a 91B status.

That means that he would serve as a, in a medical combat role if there was a regular medic not available.

So he was a medical sergeant according to the US Army, so that leads me to believe that he had some knowledge of how the u- human anatomy works.

It does seem to hold some weight.

Psychologically, scientifically, what is mindset?

mindset?A lot of times, we think about them as these two mindsets, the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.

And the fixed mindset really holds this idea that some people just have it.

They're inherently more capable, more intelligent.

They have more talent and ability.

You hear this in, oh, the way people talk when they say, "I'm just a math person.

I've always been a math person.

Is there, does it mean anything at all in current vernacular, like, what is th- what i- do- is it useful to have the word "genius"? And do you have a definition? Do you have a personal definition as a scientist who knows all about this kind of stuff?

I reached out to Mary Murphy, longtime Long Island investigative journalist, who spoke with Tierney about the endeavor, and now reports on her site, marymurphyofficial.com.

This cold case unit that was formed, I believe, last summer by the Suffolk DA, it's the first time a cold case unit was in that office.

It was really stressed they were going to look at all these other cold cases that never got much attention.

But the Federal Department of Justice is funding this cold case unit, and I believe anywhere from a half-million to a million dollars will be earmarked for this.

It was going to look at cases where DNA had been collected in violent crime cases.

There are, like, 300 cold cases that are supposed to be looked at, and I was intrigued by the five that were chosen to launch the website.

When you took a look at these, did anything really stand out to you as far as the five Does that were put forth with these phenotyping sketches?

What stood out to me were some of the scenarios at several of the spots where the victims were found.
