Christine Paolilla

Christine Paolilla, a shy teenager who attended Clear Lake High School in suburban Houston. The life of the 17-year-old shy teenager changed forever in the spring of 2003. At Clear Lake High School, the student body voted her as “Miss Irresistible”. Christine Paolilla was the friend of Rachael Koloroutis and Tiffany Rowell, two most popular girls at the school.

On the afternoon of July 18, 2003, Paolilla and Chris Snider (Paolillia’s boyfriend at that time) drove Tiffany’s house in the manicured Clear Lake. Paolilla told police that they went there to score drugs. At that time Rachael Koloroutis and Tiffany Rowell were inside the home with 19-year-old Marcus Precella (Tiffany’s boyfriend) and 21-year-old Adelbert Sanchez (Precella’s cousin). All these four people were found shot multiple times at point blank range at the home in the placid Clear Lake.

Christine Paolilla told the police that her boyfriend Snider got aggressive at the house and he shot them to dead. Two victims, Rachael Koloroutis and Tiffany Rowell had recently graduated. Christine Paolilla was arrested and Snider committed suicide.

For the murders, Paolilla’s family blamed Snider. Paolilla’s stepfather Tom Dick said.

“She was not capable of doing this,”

He added.

“There’s no doubt in my mind. … What’s happened is a tragedy. She’s as much of a victim as these poor kids. She’s not the one that did this. The one that did it is gone.”

Houston Police Sgt. Brian Harris told ABC News.

“There was a lot of rage and anger behind these killings and so, therefore, we thought … perhaps there was a personal relationship between the victims in the home and the killer,”
