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.

- Season 2 - meaningful exploration of justice
Really appreciated the information on the death penalty and execution processes, and most importantly, its alternatives, including restorative justice. I also appreciated the humanization of those on death row, and the exposure of the inhumane conditions they face. Such a heartbreaking and unnecessary reality.

Will there be an updated show, since Katherine now can stand trial and is no longer considered insane??

Really should not be giving this murderer another chance… she planned Colleen’s death. Colleen doesn’t get a second chance…

Very interesting podcast. Although I agree with most of the views shared on the content, the consequences of Christa’s crime cannot be excused ever. The act of killing someone and enjoying it as she did at the time should be punishable by death. My opinion.
Christa is medicated while in incarceration. If she is ever allowed to reinter society, she will not be required by law to keep taking her meds; hence, no one can guarantee that she will never be a danger to others in society in the future.

As much as I could never understand the grandmothers pain, I think her pushing the idea that the kids are alive & under “someone’s” care is somehow disrespectful to the kids… be so serious.. who on EARTH would just willingly take the kids SAFELY and never speak a word of it to authorities … and then what,... more
