    Christa Pike

    Christa Pike had a rough childhood. She was the victim of multiple assaults and an unstable home environment. She dropped out of school, earning her GED. Then decided to join job corps and train to become a nurse. At job corps she wanted to be the queen. When another girl, Colleen, said hello to her boyfriend, her jealousy came out. Christa attempted to get the rest of the cohort to hate Colleen with her. After Colleen reported Christa to the school, Christa dodged expulsion. But when the new year started, Christa decided it was the end of Colleen. On the pretense of picking out a movie, Christa brought along Tadaryl and another friend. The trio viciously attacked Colleen, cutting her and bashing her head in. After killing her, Tadaryl carved a satanic star into Colleens chest while Christa cut out her own trophy, a piece of Colleens skull. When brought in by police, the trio immediately confessed. Christa received death, Tadaryl received life, and their friend turned State's evidence and got away with murder.  Christa is set for execution on September 30th 2026.

    Kip Kinkel

    Kipland Philip Kinkel was born and raised in Oregon. He was the son of two Spanish teachers and as a young child struggled with reading and writing. He had a good friend group and until he was a teenager had no disciplinary issues at school.  But according to Kip, he started hearing voices at a young age, voices that told him to kill. Voices that told him he was worthless. Still he kept all that hidden, even when speaking to two different psychologists. He began to have trouble with the law as a teenager, something his mother blamed on his choices in friends.  He was obsessed with bombs, even giving a school report on how to build them. Then he took to buying guns. Some of the guns were purchased legally with the help of his father. But some were obtained through friends. Eventually he unknowingly bought a stolen gun, completing the transaction at school. He was found with the gun in his possessed and subsequently removed from Thurston High school.  That night, Kip murdered his parents, built a plethora of bombs and waited for the sun to rise. On May 21st 1998, Kip returned to school, armed with his guns and a knife. He shot and killed four people and wounded twenty five more before classmates wrestled him to the ground. Keeping him there until police arrived and took custody of him. Ending his short, but devastating reign of terror.  Sources:  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/kip/cron.html https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/trial/ https://jlc.org/sites/default/files/attachments/2022-02/2022.1.6%20D%20D148%20Opinion%20%26%20Order%20Granting%20Appeal%20on%20Counts%203%2C%204%2C%20%26%205%20Only_0.pdf https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/03c5bc08-f970-4fb3-88c3-271091cf374a/content https://www.klcc.org/tags/kip-kinkel https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-killer-thurston-high/ https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Kipland_Kinkel https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kip-kinkel-is-ready-to-speak_n_60abd623e4b0a2568315c62d

    The Curry Murder

    In 1984 a husband and father went missing from Changi Singapore. Three years later an informant reports that the man was murdered by his wife and cut up by her brother. From there the family made him into curry and fed him to the local community via their church. While the story sounded insane, investigation led to the arrest of an entire family. But after so many years, was there even evidence to back up this story, or was it simply speculation?
