The FBI is offering a reward of up to $75,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for killing 14-year-old Emily Pike, a member of the San Carlos Apache tribe.

As a CrimeOnline previously reported, police found her dismembered remains near Globe on Valentine’s Day, stuffed in trash bags. Some of her remains have never been found.

“The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $75,000 for any person providing independently verifiable information identifying the individual(s) responsible for her disappearance and murder,” FBI spokesperson Kevin Smith said in an email to AZ Central.

The FBI’s announcement on May 7 followed a meeting between FBI Director Kash Patel and Emily’s family, where Patel committed to raising awareness and pursuing answers in her case.

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office announced last month that multiple agencies formed a task force, including the sheriff’s office, the San Carlos Apache Police Department, the Mesa Police Department, the FBI, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The task force formed shortly after the San Carlos Apache Tribe offered its own $75,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Emily’s case.

The sheriff’s office is actively pursuing 10 leads in Emily’s case but has not identified any suspects. Authorities said they will continue searching if new information emerges.

Along with the San Carlos Apache Police Department, the sheriff’s office also launched an online tip portal for Emily’s case. Anonymous tips can be submitted at tips411.

Tribal communities across the country held ceremonies and rallies on May 5 to raise awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous women. Emily has become a symbol in the movement, prompting marches and vigils that called for justice in her name.

Information can also be reported to the Sheriff’s Office at 928-425-4449, option 1, or the San Carlos Apache Police Department at 928-475-1700.
