Zion Teasley, the man who stabbed Phoenix hiker Lauren Heike 15 times on a trail in 2023, has pleaded guilty to her murder in a deal that takes the death penalty off the table and sends him to prison for life.
Teasley, 25, killed Heike, a 29-year-old beauty technician, after stalking her on a hiking trail near her home.
Neighbors found her body at the foot of a barbed wire fence.
Police said he chased her, killed her with a pocketknife, and jumped the fence to get away.

Here’s hoping this problem solves itself in prison.
“While no sentence will ever bring Lauren back, we are relieved knowing that he will never be released.”
That’s what they think.
I’d give him a deal involving a 12-pound sledge...
“it puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again”
What an absolute waste of taxpayers’ money to keep this freak alive in prison. The only deal should have involved (a) Ol’ Sparky or (b) a piano wire.
People getting away with murder shows how wrong our justice system is.
See my byline.
I have read about at least two other Trans-Males who have killed a beautiful REAL girl, giving that same kind of envy as the reason. Yet some refuse to admit how dangerous this delusional mind set can become.

Tranny killer said he wanted to look like her.
One ones murdering children in schools probably envy their innocence.
Not just alive, but almost certainly hormone treatments, counseling and maybe surgery to make that freak think he's female. All at taxpayer expense.
I read a long article years ago about male college student that wanted to be a girl. Years of medications and procedures. All with full support of his family, college and classmates, community and church (so one can’t blame it on “bullying”, as they always claim).
He left a note saying that he would never be pretty enough, and jumped off the tallest college campus building.
I described this to my son, including the note that he would never be pretty enough.
“Well duh. I’m sure 99% of women feel the same way.”
It was a sad story when it described all of the support he got for his delusion. It is criminal what the TransCult is doing to our young people, and also innocent bystanders. Someday God will bring them to judgement.
Even if sentenced to death, the average death sentence takes over 25 years to carry out in Arizona!
His poor family failed him, all the while thinking they were supporting him through unqualified acceptance.
I’m certainly not blaming them, I only remark on the sad irony of it all.
Please, Lord, don’t let them put him in a womans’ prison.
Who names their kid “Zion”?
Who names their kid “Zion”?
Muslims.
If it was a white on black murder instead of a black on white murder you can bet Al Sharptongue and the rest of the alleged “Civil rights” leaders would be screaming “Racism Racism Racism”.
