Satan's Helper: The Christa Pike Story - Thirty Years of Confessions

Christa Pike has been on tape, in her own voice, since January 14, 1995, when she waived her rights and talked to a Knoxville police investigator for forty-six typed pages about killing Colleen Slemmer two nights earlier. She has been on paper since March 30, 1996, when she was sentenced to death and wrote a letter the same day bragging about it. She has been on a recorded prison line since 2001. The complete three-part Hidden Killers documentary Satan's Helper: The Christa Pike Story puts three decades of her own words in order, in one cut. It opens nineteen days before the murder, at Christmas, with the story she told her mother.

The series starts in Beckley, West Virginia, in 1976 and counts the chances she was given. The grandmother who raised her, the juvenile lawyer who argued against a training school, the teacher who made her his aide, the staff who helped with the Job Corps application. Four people left the Knoxville Job Corps center the night of January 12, 1995, and three came back. A black leather jacket left on an office chair that Friday sat there until Tuesday morning, when an officer reached into the inside pocket. A jury heard the confession through headphones.

The last chapter goes inside the Tennessee Prison for Women, to a recreation cage during a fire in August 2001, a boot lace, and the call where she told her mother she'd premeditated this one. A personal trainer from New Jersey started driving to Tennessee to see her and ended up arrested over a prison key. The series ends on September 30, 2026, with the state's failed attempt to execute her, and with May Martinez, Colleen's mother, who says she never got back the piece of her daughter that Pike carried to breakfast.
