The cause of death for Arizona teen Emily Pike has been confirmed, but questions still loom as the search for her killer continues.

The Pinal County Medical Examiner’s Office has revealed that 14-year-old Pike died from “homicidal violence with blunt head trauma,” as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix. While the cause of death is confirmed, the complete autopsy reports have not yet been made public by officials.

Emily Pike, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, was reported missing in late January, according to a previous report from CrimeOnline. She was last seen walking near Phoenix, and although most of her remains have been found, some parts are still missing.

Pike disappeared from a group home in the Mesa area. Her former roommate mentioned to the media that Pike had a history of running away. She reportedly vanished after wanting to spend time with a boy she met during guitar lessons.

Information regarding Pike’s death leaked to the public earlier this via a memo from Gila County police and social media. The memo indicated that Pike’s head and torso were found in trash bags on February 14, j off of Highway 60, north of milepost 277.

Her arms and hands are reportedly still missing.

Last month, Mesa police released bodycam footage that showed additional details about the night Emily Pike vanished from her group home.

According to ABC 15, the videos, which occurred after she fled from the group home, revealed that Emily told police she wanted to return home and talk to her mother instead of remaining at her Mesa group home.

Meanwhile, a $25,000 reward has been offered by the state, in addition to a $75,000 reward offered by the FBI and an additional $75,000 reward offered by the San Carlos Apache Tribe, for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

Police said that no one has been ruled out as a suspect in the ongoing murder investigation.

To assist in the investigation, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office and the San Carlos Apache Police Department have set up an online tip portal where anonymous tips can be submitted through tips411.

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.
