In 1995, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was lured into the Knoxville woods and brutally murdered. Her killer, 18-year-old Christa Pike, became the youngest woman on death row in modern U.S. history after keeping a fragment of Colleen's skull in her pocket.
30 years later, the State of Tennessee attempted to execute Christa Pike in Nashville—and what followed inside that execution chamber was a nightmare that has people asking: Was this karma, or an unprecedented state disaster?
After failed needle sticks, ruptured veins, chemical burns, and surviving TWO full doses of lethal execution drugs, Christa Pike was unstrapped from the gurney and rushed to the ICU at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
I sat down with Jamie and Kristi on Speculating Wildly About Crime (SWAC Pod) to ask the hard questions: Did Colleen Slemmer’s family get justice? Is this karma for 30 years of torture and violence? Or did the state just create an ethical and legal disaster with zero closure? #christapike #truecrime #colleenslemmer #Vols #knoxvilletn
