Christa Pike is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. She was convicted of murdering her 19-year-old classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in 1995. Pike was 18 years old at the time of the crime.
The Supreme Court declined to stop her execution, clearing the way for Tennessee's first execution of a woman in 200 years. Pike, now 50, had appealed for clemency.
Pike tortured Slemmer to death and took a fragment of her skull as a souvenir, according to the Toronto Sun.
