How would an alert for missing indigenous people in Arizona work?
The murder of an indigenous Arizona teen could soon bring change at the state level.
14-year-old Emily Pike was reported missing out of a Mesa group home, she was later found killed near Globe. There have been no arrests in her murder.
Pike’s death has inspired a push for a statewide system similar to AMBER Alerts for missing indigenous people. There is already one in California called the Feather Alert.
“If someone is missing and we had this alert in Indian Country, we can get the information out there, we can work together,” said Elisia Manuel, the founder of Three Precious Miracles in the Valley.
California’s Feather Alert has been in place since 2023. The California Highway Patrol handles those types of alerts, including six others, just as the Arizona Department of Public Safety would here should a system be put in place for missing indigenous peoples in the state.
All the alerts are posted on CHP’s social media sites. Sometimes, if it is time-sensitive and area-specific, they get pushed to your cell phone with that loud ringing tone.
“All of the alerts that we activate are always on the behalf of the investigating agency,” said Captain Melissa Kittell, who works with CHP’s Emergency Notifications and Tactical Alert Center.
There are specific requirements for CHP to issue a Feather Alert, including that the missing person has to be indigenous. Also, if law enforcement or the tribe believes the person is in physical danger, in danger of human trafficking, or suffers from a mental or substance abuse disorder.
CHP provided ABC15 with some numbers: In 2023, there was one Feather Alert activation and one person was recovered. The next year, there were 14 activations where 11 were recovered safely, two remain missing and one was found dead. In 2025, there were 10 activations where nine persons were recovered.
CHP says these success rates are by and large thanks to the public’s response.
“It’s someone got the WEA on their phone or they follow CHP Alerts and they saw a picture and they were driving by a bus stop and saw a person that looked familiar,” said Kittell.
For Manuel, who works with group home and foster youth in the Valley, it is something she hopes can succeed here.
“There’s such a higher rate of our kids that are in the system across the board to be trafficked, murdered,” said Manuel.
HB 2281’s main sponsor tells ABC15 that the Arizona bill will likely be discussed in the State Senate later this week, then head to the Senate floor for a vote next week.
One amendment to the bill would name the system in Arizona the Turquoise Alert; another would name the law after 14-year-old Emily Pike, whose case has rocked indigenous communities in Arizona and across the country.

PRESCOTT, AZ (AZFamily) — Beautiful Prescott, Arizona, is home to the “World’s Oldest Rodeo,” and on this Field Trip Friday, we’re getting a look at what to expect when it opens next week!
Scott Pasmore and Gibby Parra went to check out the Prescott Frontier Days event that attracts thousands every year. There’s a wild horse race, barrel racing and bull riding — and that’s just the beginning of what you can see!
Rodeo Royalty
No rodeo is complete without Rodeo Royalty, or experienced horsewomen who help keep the sport alive. Scott and Gibby introduce you to the rodeo queens of the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”
Anna Butler was named the 2026 Prescott Frontier Days rodeo queen, Ava Brooks was named the 2027 rodeo queen, and Ellie Weeks was named the 2027 junior queen.
Granite Mountain Distillery
Granite Mountain Distillery opened in 2025 and welcomes customers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The distillery has a limited edition whiskey bottle made specially for the “World’s Oldest Rodeo.”
Master Distiller Chris Currie said the quality barrels that the distillery uses allow for the whiskey to be of such high quality.
There were only 1,888 rodeo edition bottles made. Each bottle has its own unique number to authenticity.
Red White and Brew
No one is more excited about the rodeo returning to town than all the local businesses in Prescott.
Summer is one of their busiest times of the year. It’s when many Arizona families head north from the Valley to escape the heat or to attend one of the many summer events in the historic town.
Scott and Gibby stopped by Red White and Brew to see what they’re cooking up this time of year.
“Frontier Days in Prescott is huge,” said Jennifer Collinge, general manager at Red White and Brew in Prescott. “It draws people in from all over the state, all over the country, come and visit us. We have a giant Fourth of July parade that is, I think, one of the biggest in the state. It’s just a week-long of festivities and fun; you don’t have to be involved in rodeo to enjoy it.”
If you want to go the extra mile, 20% of all sales made at Red White and Brew on Tuesday, June 30, will be donated to the Eric Marsh Foundation for Wildland Firefighters.
Whiskey River Tavern
Scott and Gibby spoke with former Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli about the exciting times ahead for the city.
“It’s going to be a great celebration,” Mengarelli said. “We’re already very patriotic at the rodeo, but America 250 is just up another level. It’s going to be an awesome celebration, and I hope everybody comes up to see us at the rodeo and the parade.”
He said Frontier Days is sold out, as has been the case over the past several years, and 17 foreign countries will be represented.
