4.) Christa Pike & The Murder of Colleen Slemmer
Description
Teen obsession. Satanic fantasy. And a killing so gruesome it defied comprehension.
In 1995, 18-year-old Christa Pike lured fellow student Colleen Slemmer into a secluded spot behind their Knoxville job training campus. What happened next was one of the most sadistic murders ever committed by a teenage girl in U.S. history.
Fueled by jealousy and a disturbing fixation on ritualistic violence, Christa’s actions shocked the nation—and sent her straight to death row. But beneath the headlines was a deeper story about toxic relationships, mental illness, and a system unequipped to deal with brutality among youth.
In this episode, Jordi and Brad peel back the layers of a crime that remains one of the most haunting in Tennessee history.
Grab your drink. Press play. And step into a real-life horror story born from obsession.
