On Friday the 13th, 1995, a teenage girl was lured into the woods by classmates she thought she could trust. What followed was a ritual of jealousy, obsession, and unimaginable cruelty. Colleen Slemmer begged for her life—again and again—and was punished for speaking. This episode unpacks the murder that made Christa Pike the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S., tracing the trauma that shaped her, the occult fantasies that fueled her, and the brutal aftermath that left investigators stunned.

We follow Colleen’s final moments with survivor-centered clarity, exposing the systems that failed her and the silence that let it happen. From the pentagram carved into her chest to the piece of her skull kept as a trophy, this story isn’t just about murder—it’s about what Colleen endured, what she survived until she couldn’t, and the legacy of violence that still echoes through death row.
