Tbh I’m definitely not okay.

This truly doesn’t feel like real life.

I mean… if you’re my Dad. #justiceforalissa

Just like she always did. #justiceforalissa #sisters

Replying to @Kansas Girl hiiii I’m here. #justiceforalissa #alissaturney #sisters

Replying to @Leo it’s a little complicated

This is the bad place. #justiceforalissa #justiceforcaylee

I am SO excited to announce TikTok is working with @NCMEC to bring Amber Alerts to the app. This is definitely going to be a game-changer! #TikTokpartner #OnlineSafety

14-year-old Emily Pike went missing from her group home in Mesa, Arizona on January 27, 2025. Her remains were found on February 14, 2025, off Highway 60 North near Milepost 277 on Forest Service Road 355, just east of Globe, Arizona. Her case didn’t garner much attention until the Gila County Sheriff’s Office leaked an internal memo describing the horrific way she was found. Her case has since sparked outrage and demand for reform in cases of missing and murdered indigenous persons.   Emily was a Native American female from the San Carlos Apache Tribe. She had brown hair, brown eyes, was 4’10” and weighed 115lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink and gray shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or the San Carlos Apache Tribal Police, You can also submit a tip anonymously at Tips.FBI.GOV. To learn more about the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people, I highly recommend listening to the many excellent podcasts created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Connie Walker.

Happy Birthday Alissa. You were such a light in this world when you had every excuse not to be. Even in the darkest times you took the time to let me play race car, braided my hair in the finest braids you could for that perfect 90’s wavy finish the next day, spent an hour painting the American flag in my nails for the 4th of July and meticulously picked lice out of my hair. Even the times you made me scream and cry are happy memories now. I’d do anything to have you double bounce me off a trampoline, hide in my closet to scare me on my birthday, or pin me down and dangle a loogie over my face. I’ll never forget the sacrifices you made to take care of me. I hope that wherever you are, you have your Eminem posters on your wall, cozied up with your Blue’s Clues blanket, listening to Faith from Limp Bizket, eating sour candies with the best silver eyeshadow application in history. I wish you could see how many people you’ve helped and inspired through your story but more than that, I wish we could all go back to 2001 and save you. I wish we could have an amazing boring life spoiling our nieces and nephews and having drinks about how we survived and got away from dad. You deserved and deserve so much better. I promise I’m still trying. I love and miss you always. 💜
