Overview
- Emily Pike, 14 and a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, vanished from a Mesa group home in January 2025 and was found dead on Feb. 14 near Globe from homicidal blunt head trauma.
- Dozens gathered Sunday at the intersection where she was last seen for a candlelight vigil to honor her and call for justice.
- A memorial at the site was previously taken down by a property owner and has since been restored by advocates seeking to keep the case visible.
- The Gila County Sheriff's Office says the case remains open with no new information to release, and investigators continue to seek public tips.
- Rewards are being offered for information, and authorities urge anyone with knowledge to contact federal or local investigators, as the case helped spur Arizona’s Turquoise Alert under Emily’s Law to better respond to missing and endangered persons.
