PHOENIX - We’re learning more about the case of Emily Pike, a 14-year-old girl who was murdered after going missing last month.
Authorities are still searching for the suspect who dismembered the Apache teen who was living in a Mesa group home.
What we know:
We obtained 12 pages of documents from Mesa Police.
This missing person's case is closed now because of the ongoing homicide investigation, but we do get a glimpse of Emily’s past and the timeline leading up to the tragic discovery of her remains.
The backstory:
On Jan 27, near Mesa Drive and McKillips Road, a group home manager reported 14-year-old Emily Pike missing to Mesa Police.
According to the report, she said Emily snuck out of her bedroom window and that this wasn’t the first time she ran away.
The manager said the last time Emily left the house, she was found near Fitch Park.
Staff checked the Rock Teen Center a couple days later where Emily had visited, but no one had seen or heard from her.
Dig deeper:
By Feb. 19, a Mesa Police Officer says he spoke to an agent with the Bureau of Indian Affairs who believed Emily had been located within the Gila County Indian Reservation after human remains had been discovered on Valentine’s Day just off Highway 60 north of at milepost 277.
This area is around a hundred miles away from where the San Carlos Apache teen was last seen alive.
Two weeks later, she was positively identified and a murder investigation ensued.
