***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.

66 year old Maree Collins was a kind woman who would do anything for everyone, including offering a room to her struggling neighbor, 27 year old psychologist, Luke Fawcett. In repayment, Luke would commit a crime so horrific, Western Australia would give him one of the harshest sentences they've ever handed down.

On this weeks chapter, we discuss how Stacey Castor may just be the worst mother on the face of the planet, how laws regarding forged wills are asinine, and another potential victim of antifreeze poisoning. It seems as if no one was truly safe from a woman obsessed with money.

Stacey Castor: Daughter, mother, wife, widow, wife.....widow? Stacey had a good life married to her husband, Michael Wallace. until Michael died at 38 of a heart attack due to his bad heart and substance abuse issues, according to Stacey. She finds love, again, in David Castor, 5 years after burying Michael, tragedy strikes again in the form of David committing suicide and poor Stacey is left alone again. it was truly a horrible, tragic situation, but there's one person that isn't buying it. One husband dying is terrible, but two in 5 years? Suspicious.
