Christine Paolilla

Christine Paolilla

In a real life story that played out like a Hollywood teen scream thriller, Christine Paolilla turned on the her friends and slayed them.

No one is quite sure why the former social outcast Christine Paolilla, who was transformed from an ugly duckling into “Miss Irresistible,” turn on the very girls who made her popular?

The incident took place in the afternoon during July 2003, when four recent high school graduates, including Paolilla’s two best friends and the most popular girls in school, Rachael Koloroutis and Tiffany Rowell, were gunned down at Tiffany’s home in a Houston, Texas suburb. Police were baffled by the murders, which were seemingly random. But as police dug deeper into the investigation that dragged on for three years, they discovered that the killer might be closer to home than anyone ever expected.

Christine Paolilla was apprehended San Antonio, Texas, where she had been holed up in a hotel for months using heroin.  She has been convicted of murdering 4 of her friends Marcus Precella, Tiffany Rowell, Adelbert Sanchez and Rachael Koloroutis. Christine Paolilla is in the process of appealing her conviction.
