Christa Pike invitation letter from MTV: Flipped

This auction is for a letter to Tennessee murderer Christa Gail Pike from MTV's Flipped television series. On 1/12/1995 Ms. Pike, with accomplices Tadaryl Shipp and Shadolla Peterson, lured a fellow Knoxville Job Corps student to a secluded area where she was tortured and murdered. Pike was 18-years-old at the time. The jealousy was the motive and the torture murder was riddled with Satanic overtone. At the time of her arrest Pike was said to be in possession of a part of her victim's skull, presumably kept as some sort of trophy, and a copy of Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey's The Satanic Bible. Pike would be sentenced to death 3/22/1996 for her role in the crime, becoming the youngest woman condemned in the United States since the reinstatement of capital punishment. During her incarceration Pike has been a model prisoner. In 2001 Pike and Lillelid Murder participant Natasha Cornett attempted to kill a fellow inmate, earning Pike an additional conviction of attempted first degree murder. Cornett was not convicted in relation to the attack. Then, in 2012, an escape plan was foiled by a joint law enforcement investigation. Pike was being aided in her plans to escape by Tennessee correctional officer Justin Heflin and a New Jersey man who would often visit her at the prison. Due to Pike's young age, coupled with the violent nature her crime, the case has been the subject of written literature and televised media.
