A daring escape attempt by accused killer Kaitlin Armstrong, charged in the death of cyclist Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson. 

Armstrong was being transported by Travis County law enforcement to a doctor’s appointment. As the yoga instructor and two corrections officers exited the medical building, Armstrong ran.  Officers chased Armstrong for about 10 minutes before taking her back into custody.  

No word on why Armstrong needed medical attention. 

This is the second time Armstrong fled arrest. After "Mo" Wilson was killed, Armstrong fled to a Costa Rica hideaway, allegedly using her sister’s passport. She was taken into custody after 43 days.

Fourteen-year-old Emily Pike vanishes after sneaking away from a Mesa, Arizona, group home, where she lives.

When she does not return, Mesa police are contacted, and she is reported missing.

Her mother is not informed until Pike has been missing for a week. Police say the group home must notify her case manager, who would then contact her family or tribe.

Authorities post her picture on social media, print flyers, and alert the media that Emily Pike is missing and may have run away.

Nearly a month after Pike disappears, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office reports that searchers found the remains of an unidentified female in a wooded area near U.S. 60, about 20 miles northeast of Globe, Arizona. The remains are difficult to identify but appear to belong to a missing Native American girl.

Within 24 hours, authorities confirm the remains are those of 14-year-old Emily Pike.

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office reports that detectives found the head and torso in large contractor trash bags, while the legs were in separate bags.

Investigators search the area but do not find the arms and hands. This information, intended for law enforcement only, is inadvertently shared with friends and family without warning.

A preliminary autopsy report notes visible trauma to Pike’s face and head. Authorities do not find clothing, jewelry, or identification with the remains. Investigators believe someone killed Pike elsewhere before dumping her dismembered remains. Her arms and hands remain missing.

The sheriff’s office says investigators recovered surveillance footage from Mesa, where Emily was last seen alive, but have not found footage from the rural area where her remains were discovered. Officials urge anyone with information to come forward.

A $200,000 reward is available for information leading to Pike’s killer.
