Christa Gail Pike is the youngest woman in United States history to be sentenced to death. She was sent to death row at The Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center located in Nashville in 1995, at the age of 18! Christa lured 19-year-old classmate Collen Slemmer into the woods outside of Job Corp in Knoxville, Tennessee.
