The Case of Emily Pike

This week, Drewby and Yergy head down to the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona to discuss the case of Emily Pike, a 14-year-old girl who was living in a group home in Mesa. However, on the evening of January 27th, 2025, dressed in a pink and gray shirt, Emily left the group home on foot. She was never seen alive again. On Valentine’s day 2025, hikers were walking a trail in the Tonto National Forest found two garbage bags that contained partial dismembered remains. Test later confirmed that the remains belonged to Emily Pike. To this day, in June of 2025, the person or persons responsible have not been brought to justice.

If you have any information that could lead to the capture of Emily's killer(s), please use the following resources:

• County Sheriff’s Office Detective (928-200-2352)
• Bureau of Indian Affairs Special Agent (505-917-7830)
• San Carlos Apache Tribal Police Detective (928-475-1755)
