The Youngest Woman On Death Row: Christa Pike's Execution Date

The Youngest Woman On Death Row: Christa Pike's Execution Date

This week on Serial Napper, we’re revisiting one of the most disturbing cases I’ve ever covered, the story of Christa Pike, the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the United States. When I first released this episode a few years back, Christa was still sitting on death row with no date in sight. But now… that’s changed. In September 2025, the Tennessee Supreme Court officially scheduled her execution for September 30, 2026, marking what could be the first execution of a woman in the state in over 200 years. In this re-recorded episode, I take you deeper into the life, crime, and legacy of Christa Pike, from her horrific childhood and obsession-fueled murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, to the decades of legal battles that followed.
