THE LAST WALK: THE TORTURE AND MURDER OF COLLEEN SLEMMER

Episode 20: The Last Walk – The Torture and Murder of Colleen Slemmer On January 12, 1995, nineteen-year-old Colleen Slemmer walked away from the Knoxville Job Corps campus with three people she believed she could trust. She never came back. What began as an invitation to take a walk ended in one of the most disturbing murders in Tennessee history. Driven by jealousy, obsession, and unimaginable cruelty, Colleen was lured to a secluded wooded area where she endured a prolonged and horrific attack. The crime shocked the nation, led to one of the youngest women in modern U.S. history being sentenced to death, and continues to spark debate more than three decades later. (Volopedia) In this episode of Murder on the Mic, Vanessa Wilson tells Colleen’s story first—because behind every headline is a victim whose life deserves to be remembered. We’ll examine the investigation, the evidence, the trial, the ongoing controversy surrounding Christa Pike’s death sentence, and the difficult questions this case still raises about trauma, accountability, and justice. (Tennessee Courts) Listener discretion is strongly advised. This episode contains discussions of graphic violence, torture, and murder that may be disturbing to some listeners. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following, rating, and sharing Murder on the Mic. Your support helps keep these victims’ stories alive.

TROUBLE WATERS: THE MURDER OF PEGYE BECHLER

Episode 18: TROUBLED WATERS: The Murder of Pegye Bechler In July 1997, a rental speedboat was found circling aimlessly off the coast of Newport Beach, California. Nearby, Eric Bechler floated alone on a body board. His wife, Pegye Bechler, was gone. Eric claimed it was a tragic boating accident. A rogue wave. A heartbreaking loss. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a story involving financial pressure, life insurance policies worth millions, disturbing conversations about murder, missing 35-pound dumbbells, and a girlfriend who would secretly record the man she once planned to marry. Pegye’s body has never been found. Yet years later, a jury would convict Eric Bechler of first-degree murder in one of Orange County’s most compelling no-body homicide cases. In this episode of Murder on the Mic, Vanessa takes you through Pegye’s life, the investigation that spanned years, the shocking witness testimony, the secret recordings, and the courtroom battle that ultimately led to a conviction without a body. Because sometimes the ocean doesn’t give up its secrets. But killers do.
