Emily Pike was just 14 years old when she vanished from her group home in Mesa, Arizona, on January 27, 2025. Her body was discovered over two weeks later, on Valentine’s Day, more than 100 miles away, dismembered and discarded.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault allegations, attempted suicide, and graphic injury descriptions. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we carefully examine the circumstances of Emily’s disappearance, the disturbing details surrounding the discovery of her remains, and the broader issues her case brings to light - including the alarming rates at which Indigenous girls go missing, and the systemic failures that too often leave their families without answers.

Emily’s story has already inspired change, including a new Arizona alert system for missing Indigenous people. But her killer has still not been found.
