Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now. I'm Drew Nelson. A Native American teen's desperate pleas are revealed on police body cam footage as the search for her killer remains unsolved nearly four months after her dismembered body was found near Globe, Arizona. Newly released videos show 13-year-old Emily Pike begging Mesa officers not to return her to a group home in 2023, more than a year before her death. Hello?

No, I don't want to go back. I know. Let's talk, okay? No. It's okay. Hey. Hey, it's okay. You're not in trouble, okay? Pike was a member of the San Carlos Apache tribe. Her dismembered body was discovered on February 14th, stuffed in garbage bags off US 60, weeks after she vanished from the Sacred Journey group home in Mesa. Her hands and arms are still missing. There have been no arrests. What kind of evil person...

would hurt a kid like that. And that's something that I try not to think about. Family members speaking out on KNXV. It's hard to be patient, but if we get mad, frustrated, lash out, what's that going to accomplish?

We've just got to stay in prayer. Investigators recently served search warrants on a house, a vehicle, and a storage trailer. Items were sent to a lab. A person of interest was interviewed but cleared. Police say the case remains open and all leads are being pursued. The FBI and the San Carlos Apache tribe are each offering $75,000 for information. The tribe is also reviewing how Emily's 2023 sexual assault report was handled.

She was placed in a group home by tribal social services after she accused a family member of assaulting her on the reservation. The suspect was released and never charged. Emily had tried to run from Sacred Journey three times in 2023 and once more January 27th, the day she was last seen alive.

Surveillance footage showed her kicking out a window screen. In a legislative hearing this month, her mother, Steph Dorcella, said she only learned Emily was dead when she saw graphic photos of her remains online. Emily's family, tribal leaders, lawmakers, and the Department of Child Safety all spoke at the hearing. Many cried as they described the system that failed her. When Emily reported her assault in 2023, tribal game and fish officers responded, not

The case was dropped due to a lack of evidence, but federal prosecutors said they never received the case file. Emily's behavior changed after that she became withdrawn, tried to take her own life multiple times in one suicide attempt. She was found in a closet with a shoestring around her neck.

She spent more than a year in a secure mental health center before being sent back to the group home. At the hearing in May, officials revealed that Sacred Journey did not receive Emily's background records before taking her in. Because Emily was in the custody of the tribe, not in the custody of the state, Arizona's missing child alert law did not apply. The law requires quick notice to family, schools, and tribes, but those rules were ignored.

The San Carlos Apache tribe now plans to open a larger group home on the reservation with better mental health care. Tribal police and the FBI are still investigating the murder. A new state alert system named Emily's Law was signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs to issue notices when Native Americans go missing. Tribal council members say that's Emily's legacy. The color of our skin now determines...

A Florida middle school classroom has become the epicenter of a disturbing criminal investigation after a teacher was arrested for allegedly bombarding a 14-year-old student with explicit Snapchat messages, including, quote, "I want to taste you," end quote texts.

and a nude photo. Olivia Fell, 28, a special ed teacher at Hale Middle School, was arrested on charges of lewd conduct with a 14-year-old student, a second-degree felony, and transmitting harmful material to a minor, a third-degree felony. The Manatee County Sheriff's Office brought the charges after a damning investigation exposing a sickening abuse of authority.

The victim's mom is also blasting the school's initial handling of the case, claiming her son was suspended for reporting the allegations while Fell remained in the classroom until mid-May before being reassigned. That mom, Beverly Hernandez, spoke to ABC7 Suncoast News. I'm more disappointed that they inflicted even more trauma by calling him a liar.

by him thinking that he was doing the right thing and speaking up.

And they almost like retaliated against him. The nightmare began to unravel when Beverly reported suspicious communications between her son and Fell. Detectives interviewed the teen who revealed he had obtained Fell's Snapchat handle during school hours. Their private chats, which began over Christmas break, quickly, though, took a predatory turn. The boy told authorities that when he innocently asked if she'd bring snack chips for the

class. She allegedly responded, quote, what are you going to do for them? End quote, accompanied by a winking emoji. The creepiest exchange, Fell allegedly wrote that, quote unquote, I want to taste you also with a winking emoji.

The teen further claimed Fell sent him two nude pictures, including one showing a topless female, and then explicitly told him not to tell anyone. When initially confronted, Fell reportedly admitted to sending some photos, like one in a bathing suit, claiming they were public, but she flat out denied sending the nude pics. But investigators, they didn't quit. They secured search warrants, eventually confirming her Snapchat account matched her

Her details, the account, though, ominously vanished from the victim's friends list the very day the investigation began. The final damning piece of evidence, though, came from a search warrant executed at Fell's house. Detectives confirmed her phone was used to create the Snapchat account.

Even more damning, they allegedly found the exact green plush pillow stuffed animal and bedding seen in the nude photo directly linking Fell to the explicit material. An arrest warrant was issued and Fell turned herself in. She remains in custody at the Manatee County Jail.

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate if other students were also targeted. I'm Nicole Parton. A couple from Missouri is facing serious allegations after authorities reported that their children were forced to live in a trailer infested with hundreds of black flies and cockroaches amid piles of decaying food and human waste.

The appalling conditions were so distressing that at least one child resorted to sleeping on the entertainment center to escape the filth, as stated by police. The probable cause affidavit reveals that Mateo Luna, 27, and his partner, Stephanie Paisley, 26,

are each charged with four counts of child abuse and neglect. They are parents to four children ages eight months to nine years old. Butler County Sheriff's Department investigator Eddie Holloway expressed his emotional response in the situation. Authorities conducted a welfare check on the couple's trailer in Neelyville after receiving reports of unsanitary living conditions.

Holloway, one of the first responders, described the scene in the affidavit. The living room was completely overwhelmed with garbage, decaying food, debris and soiled clothes. The stench of rotten food and human waste filled the air. The kitchen sink and counters were piled high with dirty dishes and more rotting food, he said. To make matters worse, the temperature inside the trailer was recorded at 88 degrees and there was reportedly no running water.

Additionally, it was noted that the lock on the children's door appeared to have been tampered with to alter its function. Paisley allegedly informed the police that her children frequently attempted to, quote, escape from the residence at night. And due to the proximity of their home to the railroad track, she felt compelled to keep them inside while they were supposed to be sleeping, according to the affidavit.

When asked by KFVS about the duration of the children's exposure to the condition, Holloway estimated from what the little girl told us, it seems this has been going on for about two years. I can't fathom how anyone could live like this and subject their children to this environment. It is truly heartbreaking. The parents have been taken into custody and the children are in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services.
