10 Creepy Last Meal Requests - Part 2
Starting off at number 10 we have Ted Bundy.
He was an American serial killer, kidnapper and rapist who killed numerous young women
and girls during the 1970s.
After a decade of denying the majority of the killings, he confessed to 30 murders but
the true victim count is unknown and could be much higher.
Attorney Polly Nelson once said of him -Ted was the very definition of heartless evil-
… he was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison on January 24th 1989.
He declined a special meal and so the prison officers gave him the traditional last meal
- steak cooked medium rare, eggs over easy, hash browns, toast with butter and jelly,
milk and juice.
Next up at number 9 we have John Wayne Gacy.
He was one of Americas most notorious serial killers who sexually assaulted, tortured and
murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men in the 1970s.
During his trial, he became known as the Killer Clown because of his part time work as a Pogo
the clown at childrens parties.
He was sentenced to death in 1980 for 12 of those killings, spending 14 years on death
row.
He was executed by lethal injection in 1994 at the age of 52.
For his least meal.
Gacy requested 12 fried shrimp, a bucket of original recipe KFC, french fries and a pound
of strawberries.
At one point, he was manager of a KFC store.

He was arrested and sentenced to death for the killing of 81 year old Elizabeth Lyman

He covered her body with a blanket and then made himself a meal in her kitchen.
A suspicious neighbor called the sheriffs department and while he was eating and watching
TV, deputies responded to the call and arrested him.
He was on death row for over 20 years before being killed by lethal injection in 2002.
For his last meal, Anderson requested two grilled cheese sandwiches, a pint of cottage
cheese, a hominy corn mixture, peach pie, chocolate chip ice cream and radishes.
Next up at number 6 we have Sacco and Vanzetti.
These two men stand out on our list as actually being wrongly convicted of murder.
They were sentenced to death for the murders of a guard and paymaster in 1920 during an
armed robbery of a shoe company in Massachusetts.
They were executed by electric chair on August 23rd 1927.
50 years later, Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation that they had
been unfairly tried and convicted.
For their last meals, the two men requested soup, tea, meat and toast.
Moving on to number 5 we have Steven Woods.
He was an American murderer who was sentenced to death for Bethena Brosz and drug dealer

breasts, 2 mountain dew drinks, some root beer, sweet tea, 2 pints of ice cream, 5 chicken
fried stakes, 2 hamburgers with bacon, fries and 12 garlic bread sticks with marinara on
the side.
I coldnt find anything that said he finished all of that food.
At number 4 now we have Timothy McVeigh.
He was a terrorist responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing which killed 168 people
and injured over 680 others.
It was the deadliest act of terrorism within the US before 9/11 and is still the deadliest
act of domestic terrorism.

their 250,000 dollar life insurance policy.

His case got a lot of media attention because Gardner requested death by firing squad - the

He was on death row until 2013 when he was executed by lethal injection.
For his last meal, he requested baked chicken, mashed potatoes with country gravy, vegetables,
sweet peas, bread, tea, water and punch.
However, Texas actually abolished the right to have a last meal so Threadgill was given
the same meal as everyone else.
