Failed Execution Revives Interest in Christa Pike Case Victim
Original: colleen slemmer
Tennessee failed to execute Christa Pike, convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995, after two lethal injections left her alive and reportedly snoring. Witnesses and her lawyers called the process a mess, and the governor called off the state's remaining 2026 execution. Searches for Colleen Slemmer, Pike's victim, surged as coverage of the botched execution spread.
Why now: The botched lethal injection of Christa Pike drew fresh attention to the details of her 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer.
