In this episode of Unspeakable, KJ dives into the harrowing 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a case that shocked Knoxville and landed a teenage killer on death row. Driven by jealousy and dark obsessions, 18-year-old Christa Pike, along with her accomplices, lured Colleen into a secluded spot for what was supposed to be a peace offering—but turned into a night of unimaginable torture and brutality that led to Christa Pike being the only female on Tennessee’s Death Row.
