At the end of a long, dirt road in the wilds of Georgia, two men created a world entirely their own—part sanctuary, part gothic fantasy. There were rumors of devil worship and sinful orgies—but when evil came to Corpsewood in the winter of 1982—it came from the outside world.

In 1995, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was murdered in Knoxville, Tennessee, by a classmate who believed she was after her boyfriend. Christa Pike spent the next three decades as the only woman on Tennessee’s death row. On September 30th, the state gave her two doses of pentobarbital, and she did not die. This week she woke up in a hospital bed, still under a death sentence, as her lawyers fight to keep Tennessee from trying again.

Paula Leeson’s life revolved around her family — she worked at the family business and devoted herself to her beloved son, Ben. The entire family was delighted for her when she found love, getting married to a dashing New Zealand property manager at the age of 44. However, the love story would soon turn to horror when Paula died mysteriously only 3 years into the marriage — it would take 2 countries, 3 courts and nine years before Paula’s family would discover who Paula had truly married — and what he may have done to her.
