Before we get into today’s episode, we wanted to take a moment to explain why we’re bringing this particular case back to you. We originally covered the case of Christa Pike some time ago, but with Pike’s execution currently scheduled to take place at 9am MST on September 30, 2026, in Tennessee, we felt it was important to revisit the episode and make it available again. Christa Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a case that has remained in the public eye for decades. Pike was sentenced to death and has spent the last 30 years on death row. So, before we begin, we want to acknowledge that this episode discusses a real person, a real victim, and a case that has affected many lives for decades. Our intention in revisiting it isn't to sensationalize what happened, but to provide the story and the context surrounding a case that is once again making headlines. With that said, let's go back to the beginning and revisit the case of Christa Pike.

Christa Pike is an American woman who became the youngest woman sentenced to death in the United States during the modern era. Born on March 10, 1976, in West Virginia, Pike had a troubled upbringing marked by instability and abuse. At 18, while attending a Job Corps program in Tennessee, she murdered a fellow student, Colleen Slemmer, in 1995, in what was described as a premeditated killing fueled by jealousy and obsession. Pike and her accomplices lured Slemmer to a secluded area, where she was brutally tortured and killed. Pike kept a piece of the victim's skull as a trophy, which became a key piece of evidence during her trial. In 1996, Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death by electrocution.

On this week's episode of Sinners Among Saints, Lindsay and Megan dive into the chilling story of Herb Baumeister — a man who was never arrested, never prosecuted, and never convicted, yet is believed to be responsible for one of the most notorious strings of murders in Indiana history. From a seemingly normal childhood in Indianapolis to the discovery of human remains at Fox Hollow Farm, the hosts trace the early life and warning signs of a killer hiding in plain sight. With missing men, unidentified remains, shifting witness statements, and questions about a possible accomplice, the investigation is far from closed — decades later, it's been reopened, and the search for answers continues. This is Part 2 of 2.
