Christa Gail Pike is the youngest woman in United States history to be sentenced to death. She was sent to death row at The Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center located in Nashville in 1995, at the age of 18! Christa lured 19-year-old classmate Collen Slemmer into the woods outside of Job Corp in Knoxville, Tennessee. She brutalized Collen for more than a half hour before her death. The coroner counted 300 stab wounds, including a pentagram craved into her chest. Ultimately Collen was killed by a concrete block to her head, crushing her skull. After the beating, Christa Pike bent down and took a piece of bloody skull as a souvenir. She proceeded to show it off and bragged about what she had done. This is the horrific story of the death of Collen Slemmer.
