    Chilling final words of serial killer Aileen Wuornos before she was executed for murdering seven men

    American serial killer Aileen Wuornos delivered a bizarre final message just before her 2002 execution in Florida, promising she'd return like in a sci-fi movie.

    As she faced her final moments, Wuornos, grinning at onlookers from the death chamber, was asked if she had any last words. Her eerie response was: "Yes, I would just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day, with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I'll be back, I'll be back."

    Wuornos, who earned herself six death sentences for the murders of seven men between 1989 and 1990, was apprehended in January 1991. Claiming self-defense, she argued that her victims had raped or tried to rape her while she worked as a sex worker.

    She was convicted for the murder of Richard Mallory and later admitted to the other killings when she spoke to the police in late 1991. Displaying a chilling indifference to her actions, she coldly stated: "I killed those men, robbed them as cold as ice. And I'd do it again, too. There's no chance in keeping me alive or anything, because I'd kill again. I have hate crawling through my system."

    Although the body of her seventh victim, Peter Siems, was never recovered, sparing her an additional murder charge, her palm print was discovered inside Peter's vehicle, linking her to his disappearance.

    After a decade on death row at the Florida Department of Corrections Broward Correctional Institute, Wournos was pleading for her own execution. She urged the state of Florida in 2001 to carry out her death sentence, claiming that drawing out her ordeal was simply wasting taxpayers' money.

    She stated that there was no use in prolonging her life and guaranteed she would resort to old habits if set free - although with six death sentences hanging over her head, release wasn't an option.

    Wournos opened up about her crimes in two documentaries Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer both produced by filmmaker Nick Broomfield. During her interview with Broomfield, viewers see her retort his inquiries in a wild manner while clad in her orange jumpsuit.

    The audiotape caught Broomfield asking Wournos why she committed the murders. An irate Wournos accuses the police of letting her commit the murders, telling Broomfield he is "so lost."
