Скачать или смотреть Emily Pike case: Police dispel arrest rumors | FOX 10 Phoenix

It has been almost seven months since 14-year-old Emily Pike was found dead near Globe, and on Sept. 5, police are dispelling rumors circulating on social media regarding an arrest in the case.

Pike's remains were found in an area near milepost 277 along U.S. 60, about 19 miles north of Globe, in February 2025, and on Sept. 5, officials with the with the San Carlos Apache Police Department say a TikTok influencer posted a video, claiming a suspect had been arrested in connection with the case.

"All the information in the video was false. It had not been vetted," said Ricardo Alvarado. "When you have disinformation, especially something like this, it's volatile. It leads us to have to expand resources to try to obviously quell any of this stuff before it gets out of hand."

FOX 10's Taylor Wirtz reports.
