The Ghosty Girls

In this week's heart wrenching episode, we examine the tragic and senseless murder of 7 year old Athena Strand, and the absolute demon who was convicted of killing her: Fed-Ex driver, Tanner Horner who was paid to deliver a package that contained a Christmas gift for the young girl.

Today, Christina revisits of one of our most popular cases - Christa Pike aka "Lil' Devil" - the youngest woman to ever be sentenced to death in the United States of America. On the night of January 12, 1995, the beautiful and kind-hearted Colleen Slemmer was lured into the woods by a group of her Tennessee Job Corps class mates - led by Christa Pike - and brutally murdered.

In October of 1999, residents of Fort Worth, Texas began complaining of a horrific stench. A stench that was so bad, that just walking down a specific street would immediately induce a headache. Residents complained that they couldn’t even turn on their air conditioning because if they did, a rancid smell emitting from outside would permeate their entire home. Fort Worth Health Department officials, being absolutely inundated with complaints about this stench, set out to find the source, and they were soon able to identify where it was coming from - a supermarket that had been completely abandoned three months prior. And what officials walked in on, was an absolute nightmare of biblical proportions. Join us today as we discuss the vile Mexia Supermarket disaster.Today's Sources Include:https://pdapps.fortworthtexas.gov/Get-Involved/cold-cases-1990-1999https://lifeafterpeople.fandom.com/wiki/Mexia_Supermarkethttps://lostmediawiki.com/Mexia_Supermarket_(partially_found_footage_of_abandoned_Texas_grocery_store;_1999)#cite_note-lopez-8https://dgf2099.com/2024/07/26/the-driver-suit-blog-the-mexia-supermarket-disaster/https://youtu.be/8J66WZeU0XA?si=3aOTcPMJBNafIhQihttps://youtu.be/twQEe_p4V4Q?si=JViu9GVX3_wTt2sPhttps://youtu.be/I8T3xv2juzc?si=wzy-X_873wkJF-buSupport the showLike our podcast?
