14-year-old Emily Pike went missing from her group home in Mesa, Arizona on January 27, 2025. Her remains were found on February 14, 2025, off Highway 60 North near Milepost 277 on Forest Service Road #355, just east of Globe, Arizona. Her case didn’t garner much attention until the Gila County Sheriff’s Office leaked an internal memo describing the horrific way she was found. Her case has since sparked outrage and demand for reform in cases of missing and murdered indigenous persons.

Emily was a Native American female from the San Carlos Apache Tribe. She had brown hair, brown eyes, was 4’10” and weighed 115lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink and gray shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Gila County Sheriff’s Office Detective at 928-200-2352, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Special Agent at 505-917-7830 or the San Carlos Apache Tribal Police Detective at 928-475-1755. You can also submit a tip anonymously at Tips.FBI.GOV.

To learn more about the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people, I highly recommend listening to the many excellent podcasts created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Connie Walker. You can learn more at conniewalker.com.
