I believe giving the year of his birth, Bernhard Neumann is her fatherVery interesting additional info here:
https://www.kgun9.com/investigations/finding-the-family-of-apache-junction-jane-doe
According to investigators Bernhard Lyon Neumann is a very close relative to Apache Junction Jane Doe. He was born in 1953 near Darmstadt and Eberstadt Germany to a woman named Else Maria Neumann. His father was an African-American service member, but that’s all police were able to find out.
"We’re not really sure if that’s his name now he may have been adopted. We know that somehow or another that he was in the United States at some point, but we don’t know if he still has the name Bernhard Neumann,” Harshman said.
I was thinking the same thing. They must believe that he might have changed his name or moved outside of the US, as finding people in the States is generally not that difficult through public records.Very unusual to namedrop someone like that. I believe this is the first time authorities have publicly called for a named individual to come forward.

So maybe they know who she is then?
They found his half-sibling as far as I understand, not a cousin?Looks like it is a similar case as Eldorado JD. They know apparently who the father was via a cousin living in Germany. But they do not know where he is now and who he fathered our JD with.

The half-sibling said that her father went to Germany as a serviceman and had 2 kids there with a German woman, I believe they could be his oldest kids, when he came back to the States, he married another woman and had 8 kids with her, who had never met their German half-siblings, but knew about their existence. It is unclear at which point in life Bernhard had moved to the USA. It seams a very puzzling case. What if he was adopted, I believe that adoption documents can not be found in public records. I wonder what about Apache Junction Jane Doe’s mother? Did they find anything about her?
AJJDs mother likely was Hispanic. That is likely where we also have to look for her Native American admix. It is unsure where the African American admix comes from, could be from the Hispanic mom, could also be from dad, could be both. He was an US Army serviceman from what I understood. As far as I am concerned, both parents actually could have been multiethnic.
Later it was released that he father (Bernhard Neumann) is half-African American, I assume that her mother is Mexican. I think the DDP can see her maternal haplogroup…
They did not say he is her father, but it can be read between the lines. From the statement he was born in 1953 and Apache Junction JD was 14-16 in 1992, when she was found, so she was born in 1976-1978. The DDP is looking particularly for Bernhard Neumann, although he has 9 other siblings. They think that she is related to him (giving his age he is not her brother/grandfather).Do you have link for that statement? I scrolled through all Dna Doe Project fb page and I don't see anywhere confirmation or statement claiming Bernhard Neumann to be her father.
