Unrestorable
iHeartPodcastsOn a January night in 1995, 18-year-old Christa Pike and two other teenagers lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer to a secluded area near the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

- Mental illness
I am all for a fair trial and for people who are incompetent and cannot stand trial this just does not seem like one of those cases the fact that the mom says the kids are with someone or people is just baffling and she is not even worried or sound concerned that she does not know these people why would she keep the kids away from their father I have not heard that he was a bad father or and abuser etc makes no sense at all. I believe she is playing the system and to not want to tell whatever th... more

Not impressed. This only made me angry. This girl pre-meditated this murder telling people she was going to do it and then had every opportunity to change her mind then lured this girl to her murder. I’m sorry this young lady had a bad childhood that was abusive and was failed by the system but there are lots of people who had abusive childhoods that don’t plan and carry out murders. I am not particularly for the death penalty but this podcast trying to paint sympathy for this girl is ridiculous... more
Apple Podcasts1Arkgirl72United States2 months ago - Beth failed in her intended mission - season 2
First, I am against the death penalty. People have been executed who were in fact innocent. I absolutely support restorative justice.
Krista Pike did not garner my sympathy beyond her mental illness, abuse & neglect as a child. I saw no real remorse from her. Her concern is for herself. Her one very perfunctory expression of remorse showed no true acceptance of responsibility. I’m disgusted with Beth Kara’s’ treatment of Colleen Slemmer’s mother, May Martinez. The implication that she should be... more

This show has more ads than content. I know ads are necessary but this is ridiculous.
Apple Podcasts2reggeeeUnited States3 months ago - Not Worth it
There’s as much time dedicated to horrible commercials as there is to the story! It’s not worth the pain required to get thru it.
