Christa Gail Pike, who was just 18 years old when she brutally murdered fellow student Colleen Slemmer in 1995, is scheduled to be executed on September 30, 2026<\/p>\n

If the execution proceeds as planned, Pike will become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years and only the 19th woman executed in the United States since modern capital punishment resumed in 1976.<\/p>\n

The case remains one of the most horrifying crimes in recent American history.<\/p>\n

Back in January 1995, Pike and 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer were both students at the Knoxville Job Corps center, a federal education and vocational training program.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to prosecutors, Pike became consumed by jealousy after convincing herself that Slemmer was interested in her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

That jealousy eventually turned deadly.<\/p>\n
