The San Carlos Apache Tribe in southeastern Arizona is advocating for stricter regulations on state-licensed group homes after the tragic death of 14-year-old Emily Pike. Pike’s dismembered remains were found in garbage bags near a remote forest road weeks after she left her Mesa group home. The tribe has sent a resolution to state officials calling for an investigation and legislative reform in response to the murder. The Gila County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information from the public, but no arrests have been made. Pike was placed in the group home by the tribe’s social services department, and her uncle expressed disbelief at the gruesome nature of her death. The tribe is offering a $75,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The group home where Pike lived has rules regarding when residents can leave, and Pike had sneaked out her bedroom window before her tragic death. Her uncle described her as a loving girl with aspirations for the future, emphasizing that her life was cut short by the heinous act. The family is devastated by the loss and is seeking justice for Emily.
