Episode 113: Karla Faye Tucker

Axe murderer Karla Faye Tucker, who bragged of having an orgasm each time she sunk the blade into her victims, was the first woman executed in Texas in over a hundred and thirty years.

While on death row she made a dramatic conversion to Christianity, causing her pending execution to become a lightning rod of debate on the death penalty, appearing on 60 Minutes and Larry King Live, and drawing in support from Newt Gingrich, Jimmy Swaggart and Pope John Paul II, all trying to convince then Texas Governor George W. Bush to spare her life.

Hear the entire dramatic tale of sex, drugs, murder, biker gangs, redemption and Christian forgiveness today on Murder Coaster!
