Apache Junction Jane Doe’s (AJJD) DNA was extracted and
underwent Whole Genome Sequencing in October. We received her
file in early November and uploaded to GEDmatch, and our team of
volunteers are currently conducting genealogical analysis.
AJJD's ethnicity breakdown includes Native American, African
American, and European, a typical Hispanic mix. Her mtDNA
haplogroup is C1b11, suggesting Native American ancestry on her
mother’s side. Some of her DNA matches are Mexican, some are
Pima Native American. Her closest matches are likely third or
more distant cousins, which means we need to build their trees
four to five generations back to find AJJD’s possible ancestors.

Apache Junction Police Department investigators are hopeful that
any thread of evidence will help identify and solve a cold case
involving the death of the city's only "Jane Doe," whose remains
were found in the desert nearly 17 years ago.
She was wearing a Team Gear soccer T-shirt with soccer balls
imprinted on the front and back of it, a pair of Levi's denim
cut-off shorts and a gold-colored ring on her left ring finger
when her badly decomposed remains were found Aug. 6, 1992, by a
man walking his dog south of the U.S. 60 and west of Idaho Road.
The young woman, who is described as Hispanic and eastern Asian,
was about 16 to 18 years old and 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 1
inch tall with coarse brown hair in a ponytail and poorly
maintained teeth that protruded from her mouth. She also had a
Phoenix Transit System student token in her pocket with about 26
cents in change, according to Stephanie Bourgeois, a crime scene
technician for the Apache Junction Police Department.
If anyone has any information on this case, they are asked to
call Apache Junction police at (480) 982-8260 and ask for Capt.
Tom Kelly or crime scene technician Stepanie Bourgeois.
