***This Case come's with a pretty heavy trigger warning for mentions CSA, Torture, and graphic details. Listener discretion is very much advised***
Christa Gail Pike wasn't exactly a model citizen. In fact, pretty much from birth she was set up for failure, with a very tumultuous childhood. After being sent to Knoxville Tennessee's Job Corps Center at 18 to get her life together, she meets fellow satanist, 17 year old Tadaryl Shipp, and it's love at first sight.
Thing's are going well for the two love birds until the arrival of 19 year old Colleen Slemmer and Christa has locked in on a potential threat to her relationship. what would follow would be one of the most horrific stories we've ever shared.
