Christa Pike's ex-boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, who escaped death penalty in Satanic killing, could be free in 5 years

Christa Pike's ex-boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, who escaped death penalty in the Satanic killing of Colleen Slemmer in 1995, could go free in five years. According to a report of The Sun, 49 years old Shipp is now at Tennessee’s Northwest Correctional Complex. Citing prison records, the report claimed that Shipp could go free in five years, by October 2031. Shipp also said to have adopted a new alias as Abdul Khalip, the Sun claimed citing records.

Tadaryl Shipp was 17 years old when he and Christa murdered Slemmer and that's why he was not sentence to death. Pike, Shipp and a third companion lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a classmate at their Knoxville Job Corps vocational center, into a wooded area where they tortured and killed her in 1995.
