On 02/14/2025, the gruesome discovery of a young indigenous girl’s remains was made in the Tonto National Forest near Globe, Arizona. The investigation into her disappearance and the events leading up to her death would reveal a long pattern of neglect and systemic failures. This is the story of Emily Pike of the San Carlos Apache Tribe of Arizona.
