A permanent memorial is underway for a slain Arizona indigenous girl, 14-year-old Emily Pike, following her February death.
According to NBC’s 12 News, Emily’s mother, mom, Stephanie Dosela, said she was “grateful” for a permanent placement, following the removal of a temporary memorial earlier this month.
The permanent memorial is scheduled to be placed in Mesa’s Fitch Park, coupled with a bench and a tree that will be planted in her honor.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the first memorial had sat in place months, at the intersection of Mesa Drive and McKellips Road, following the discovery of Emily’s remains in February 2025.
