Sarah leads her first In the Headlines episode as we discuss the disturbing case of Christa Pike — the only woman currently on Tennessee’s death row.

In 1995, 18-year-old Pike was convicted of the brutal murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at the Job Corps center in Knoxville.

Now, more than 30 years later, Pike is scheduled to be executed on September 30, 2026. If the execution goes forward, she will become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years — since 1819.

We break down the crime, the evidence against Pike, her conviction and death sentence, the decades of appeals and controversy surrounding her case, and the final efforts underway as her execution date approaches.

Sarah leads this episode about the unbelievable case of Pam Hupp.

In 2011, Betsy Faria was found murdered inside her Missouri home, and suspicion quickly fell on her husband, Russ. Despite having an alibi backed by multiple witnesses, Russ was convicted of her murder.

But there was another person in Betsy’s life who would eventually become impossible to ignore: her friend, Pam Hupp.

Pam was the last known person to see Betsy alive. She had also recently become the beneficiary of Betsy’s $150,000 life insurance policy. And as questions surrounding Betsy’s murder continued to grow, Pam’s story would become even stranger.

As multiple bodies started piling up around Pam Hupp, it became impossible to ignore that something very fishy was going on.
