In the United States, there are only 27 states where the death penalty is an allowable conviction for especially heinous crimes of murder or terrorism. Tennessee, being one of those states, currently holds the youngest woman of her time who was convicted of the death penalty: Christa Pike. The crime she committed was so brutal that an investigator quoted her as being "the most evil person" he'd ever met... at just 18 years old! Just like Christa, Colleen Slemmer was hoping for a better future when she left home to travel to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for the Job Corps. Unfortunately, she crossed paths with Christa, who wanted her gone.
What led Christa to take the life of Colleen Slemmer in 1995? Was it for a satanic sacrifice or just plain jealousy?
