Christa Pike: Days From Death Row
Description
This week on All the Damn Crime, we're talking about Christa Pike, the only woman currently on Tennessee's death row, whose execution is scheduled for September 30, 2026. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer when Pike was 18. If carried out, it would be Tennessee's first execution of a woman in more than 200 years.
We break down Pike's crime, her decades on death row, her recent legal challenges and clemency request, and what's happening as her execution date approaches.
Then we turn to Bryan Kohberger, who is attempting to withdraw his guilty plea in the University of Idaho murders, and revisit the infamous Slender Man stabbing, in which two 12-year-old girls lured their classmate into a Wisconsin park and stabbed her in 2014.
Three very different cases—and plenty to talk about.
