That part of Highway 60 leads to the White Mountains of Eastern Arizona a couple hours north of Globe. There's actually another Apache rez up there. As far as pullouts, there are some old ranch or forest roads that lead off the highway. Many are gated but there's a wide spot in the road that...

The original post on the Mesa PD page said Missing/Runaway. I assume they pegged her as a runaway because she was in a group home, but I have no idea what evidence they used to come to that conclusion beyond that. They haven't released time of death as far as I can tell. They hadn't even...

Yes, info from an internal memo ended up on Facebook. Really shoddy. I'm pretty certain that whoever did this knew her. It's the only way she would have gotten back so close to home, IMO.

I did a few searches before I posted, but I didn't find anything, either.

Fourteen-year-old Emily Pike was last seen on January 27 near Mesa Drive and McKellips Rd. in Mesa, Ariz. She is a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which has a reservation in rural Eastern Arizona. The main town on the rez is probably two hours east of Mesa. Her body was found about 20...

I think Isa will be a tougher case because of the time it took to find her. I also think the way the media, the cops, and a lot of people on this very site hurt the case by dragging the Celis family through the dirt, often in extremely racist ways, will have a lasting effect. Sadly, I think the...

Guilty

Here's a link to a thread with all of the coverage from the local Tucson daily newspaper. I can't read the articles, though. They're behind a paywall. Out-of-towners who don't regularly visit the Arizona Daily Star's website might have luck getting a few articles, at least.

Caitlin Schmidt of the Arizona Daily Star will be covering the trial. She covered the case before, but she's been moved around to several different areas at the Star so I didn't know if she would still be doing so. Caitlin's tweet about the trial

This dude is going to drag this out forever, isn't he? By the time the trial for Isa's murder starts, she will have been dead for a decade and a few weeks. Maribel just a couple of months short of 8 years. I can't imagine what the Gonzales and Celis families are going through. I see that...

Sorry, I have been offline for a bit. They don't usually report on status hearings in our local news, so there's nothing in the press about that. I assume it happened, though, since those hearings are basically check-ins with the lawyers to see how things are going. Since the June evidentiary...

The decision had been put off twice, but the Pima County Attorney made it official on Friday that her office would seek the death penalty. The judge told Clements' attorneys to get in gear as far as objecting to pre-trial tests, including IQ tests, that she has ordered because "we don't take 5...
