The majority of prisoners, if not all of them, would suffer from severe pain, including feelings of drowning and suffocation, due to [the deadly injectable chemical] pentobarbital, he said.
Jennifer Long, Purkey’s first victim, vanished after being last observed on January 22, 1998, at East High School in Kansas City, Missouri.
Before taking her back to his house, Purkey had allegedly enticed her into his car, where he fatally stabbed her and used a chainsaw to dismember her body.
After that, the murderer allegedly burned her body in a fireplace before burying her bones in a Clearwater, Kansas, sewage pond.
However, Long’s remains have not yet been located.Purkey seems to express regret for his acts before to his execution.
‘I profoundly regret the sorrow and suffering I gave to Jennifer’s family,’ were apparently his last words.
“I sincerely apologize.” I sincerely apologize for the hurt I inflicted on my dear daughter.”There is absolutely no purpose to this sanitized murder.”
