According to the Genealogy for Justice site this lady was a suspected homicide victim and may have been killed in Arizona or California.

In early 2024, after sequencing her DNA, it was discovered that Picture Rocks Jane Doe’s ancestral ties are to the town of Atenguillo in Jalisco, as well as the surrounding areas of Mascota, Navidad, Mixtlan, San Pablo, and Guachinango. This area is about 3 hours east of Puerto Vallarta.

This young woman’s Atenguillo ancestors include the surnames Curiel, Duenas, Angel, Ramos, Sanchez, Macedo, and Quintero. More DNA samples from people with similar background are being sought in order to restore her identity.

"Skeleton found south of Marana," Arizona Daily Star, December 1, 1985, pg 11.

"The bones were found on the Garcia Ranch near the 5900 block of North Avra Road by two juveniles who were bird hunting at about 9 a.m"

The ranch was owned by Ramon Garcia, who died in 1990.
