While living at the Job Corps training campus, Pike became convinced that fellow student Colleen Slemmer was trying to steal her boyfriend, 17-year-old Tadaryl Shipp.[10][11] Along with her friend, 18-year-old Shadolla Peterson, Pike planned to lure Slemmer to an isolated, abandoned steam plant near the University of Tennessee campus.[10]

On January 12, 1995, Pike, Shipp,[11] Peterson, and Slemmer signed out of the dormitory and went to the woods, where Slemmer was told they wanted to make peace by offering her some marijuana.[10] Upon arrival at the secluded location, Slemmer was attacked by Pike and Shipp while Peterson acted as lookout. According to court testimony, for the next 30 minutes, Slemmer was taunted, beaten, and slashed. During the attack, Slemmer begged for her life.[12] Shipp used a box cutter[13] to carve a pentagram into her chest while she was still alive,[14][15][16] while Christa used a meat cleaver.[17] Finally Pike smashed Slemmer's skull with a large chunk of asphalt, killing her. Pike kept a piece of Slemmer's skull, and would show it off and boast about how she got it.

Too bad she didn't suffer more
