A murderer tried to strike a sick deal with police for his favourite food in exchange for information about where one of his victims was.
In a new season of Worst Ex Ever on Netflix it was revealed that the the killer, called Wade Wilson, wanted to bargain with officers for a burger and fries.
Nicknamed the 'Deadpool killer' because he shares the same name as the Marvel antihero, Wilson was sentenced to death in 2024 after he was found guilty of murder.

He bragged about being the world's 'most sought-after inmate in the world right now,' after his televised trial attracted a large amount of attention and admirers, and confessed that he 'used his looks' to lure in his victims.
During a new episode, called Dating the Deadpool Killer, viewers saw how the arrogant killer tried to demand a burger and fries in exchange for telling cops where he had buried one of the bodies.
Police had already discovered the body of his second victim, 43-year-old Diane Ruiz, but Wilson didn't know that yet.
He tried to barter with officers, offering: "Might seem stupid. Give me some french fries and a burger, and I'm gonna take you right where you want to go. That's all I want bro.
"You’re are going to take me to eat, so I’ll show you the body right? You’re going to get me some french fries? Let's go get this body. Come on. It’s gonna get dark. I’m hungry," he added
His murder spree started with killing Kristine Melton, 35, at her home in Cape Coral, Florida, after meeting her in a bar.
He fled, stealing her car and driving to the home of his ex-girlfriend, Melissa Montanez, and assaulted her.
He told police "I was like, you know what? I’ve already done it once, I’m going to do it again."
It was then he found Ruiz and asked her for directions before luring her into the vehicle, after he saw her walking down the street and decided "That’s the one."
"From there, we drove to the school and I was gonna drop her off, but in my mind, I knew I wasn’t going to drop her off. She really wanted to get out of the car at that point.
"I could sense your fear, I’m like a f*****g lion and I’m like your the prey and I could sense it. [I] grabbed her by the neck and choked her. She was a fighter, that’s for sure."
Horrifyingly, after strangling her, he threw Ruiz out of the car and then used it to run her over repeatedly.
Bragging about using 'his looks', he told police: "That’s what I did with the first girl [Melton] and that’s how I got her in bed, and then look what happened to her. Same story with this. I just used my looks."
He even called his father, Steven Testasecca, to brag excitedly about the killings.
His dad immediately turned him in, and told the court that his son laughed about running Ruiz over 'until she looked like spaghetti' in a sick boast.
Testasecca late called his 'monstrous son' in prison and urged him to tell Ruiz’s family where her body was.
Detective Jones said, "He wanted to trade a body for a meal, while talking to him, he's got really dark eyes.
"It's almost like there was nothing there. There was no remorse, no empathy."
In the documentary, Wilson bragged: "I’m so crazy when I’m on drugs, the rage overcomes me, I’m not thinking properly and I guess you know, what comes across my mind [is] to murder.
"Just murder, murder, just kill, kill, kill."
He was found guilty of first-degree murder, and received two death sentences, but his case is currently with the Court of Appeal after his team have asked for his case to be reviewed.
Season 2 of Worst Ex Ever is available to stream on Netflix now.
