PHOENIX — The investigation into the murder of 14-year-old Emily Pike has been slow, but investigators say they're still searching for answers.

According to a report from the Gila County Sheriff's Office, deputies interviewed a person of interest but ultimately determined that he wasn't their suspect.

In January, Pike ran away from the Sacred Journey group home in Mesa. Just a month later, the teen was found dismembered in a remote part of the desert near Globe, Arizona.

"Over the past few weeks, with the assistance of the FBI, there have been search warrants served on a residential structure, a vehicle, and a storage trailer," GSCO said. "Items seized from those locations have been sent to the laboratory for analysis to determine if there may be links to Emily Pike’s Investigation."
