Episode 332: Colleen Slemmer & Christa Pike

On January 12, 1995, three evil individuals brutally tortured and killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, for no reason. Among them, Christa Pike was sentenced to death and is currently residing on death row in Tennessee for her role in this horrifying crime. Notably, she is the only woman on death row in the state, and as of now, there is no execution date set for her case. There is a lot of controversy surrounding Pike’s case and many feel that she was too young to be sentenced to death, while others think her punishment was warranted.
