[00:00:00]Emily Pike was found dead nearly near US 60 outside Globe. That was last February. Now, a month prior, she was last seen alive walking away from a Mesa group home, and her death continues to create change here in Arizona. In 2025, it inspired Emily's Law, which created the Turquoise Alert to bridge the critical gap between a standard missing persons report and an Amber Alert. And earlier this year, SB 1125 was signed into law, sparked directly by the failures in Emily's case. This bipartisan measure closes dangerous loopholes. It also forces DCS and tribal governments to share information and communicate. Pike's family says the Turquoise Alert system has improvements, like better training for law enforcement. Advocates refuse to let Emily fade from memory. They say keeping her face in the public eye is critical, a constant reminder that her killer is still out there, and her family still waiting for answers.
