Christa Pike Laughed and Sang During the Botched Execution — Then a Witness Says She Had “the Best Sleep of Her Life”

Satanic killer Christa Pike cackled and even sang during her botched execution — with onlookers twice shown a symbol marking her death before everyone realized she was actually snoring like she was having “the best sleep of her life,” according to a witness.

WVLT anchor and senior reporter William Puckett, one of the few people to witness Wednesday’s ordeal, revealed the disturbing details in a play-by-play from his view in the observation room at the Riverbend Maximum Security Insтιтution.

While Pike, 50, was still conscious and writhing on the gurney after she was administered the lethal injection around 7:27 p.m. — which was supposed to kill her in a matter of minutes — she suddenly let out “a joyous laugh and chuckle,” Puckett told the Daily Mail.

Moments earlier, Puckett recalled, she had broken into a high-pitched song, repeating the lyrics of a traditional Buddhist meditation: “Be kind and gentle to yourself and may you be at peace.”

As witnesses watched Pike squirm, a rock was placed by Tennessee Department of Corrections staff in sight of the viewing chamber around 7:41 p.m. to signal to witnesses that the drug had fully been administered.
