Summary
After 35 years, a Jane Doe found decomposed in Arizona in 1989 may finally get a name—thanks to groundbreaking DNA analysis revealing she was likely Jewish with 96% Ashkenazi heritage. Rabbi Mendel Super, the rabbi of the county, is leading the effort to identify her, navigating the complex genetic puzzle of Ashkenazi endogamy that could mean tens of thousands of potential matches. With investigators and the community rallying behind the search, the hope is that someone with a similar background will take a DNA test—and finally, this woman’s story will be told.
