Christa Pike: The Teenage Torture Killer

In 1995, Christa Pike, an 18-year-old student at the Job Corps training program in Knoxville, Tennessee, lured fellow student Colleen Slemmer into a secluded area. Driven by jealousy and convinced that Slemmer was interested in her boyfriend, Pike tortured and murdered her. She kept a piece of Slemmer's skull as a trophy. Pike was later convicted and became the youngest woman in the United States to be sentenced to death.
