Christa Pike is scheduled to be executed on September 30, 2026. If carried out, she would become the first woman executed by the state of Tennessee in more than 200 years.

In 1995, 18-year-old Christa Pike was convicted of the murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. The case became one of the most disturbing murder cases in the state's history, and Pike was sentenced to death. In this episode of How to Get on Death Row, we follow Christa Pike's story from her childhood and the events leading up to Colleen Slemmer's murder, through the investigation, trial, death sentence, decades on Tennessee's death row, and the legal challenges surrounding her scheduled execution.
