Episode 103: Lil Devil Christa Pike the Youngest Woman on Death Row

Christa Pike is the youngest woman ever put on death row in the United States. She was a wannabe devil worshipper, who, with her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, carved a pentagram into fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer’s chest before caving her head in with a rock in a sacrifice to the devil. She has been called evil and a monster, but in many ways she was just what she looked like: a traumatized and lost little girl.   MURDER COASTER PODCAST Hosted by Christa Carmen and Matthew Brockmeyer Website: www.murdercoasterpodcast.com Facebook: Murder Coaster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murdercoasterpodcast/   Creepy Amusement Park theme by Brandon Fiechter and Derek Fiechter, used by permission and with many thanks.   FEATURING THE SONGS: “I Wanna Be Loved” and “I Wanna Be Loved By You” by Broadway Nitelites courtesy of The Internet Archive and Gathacol Radio.
