"I'd 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."
Aileen Wuornous (February 29 1956 - October 9, 2002) was born in Michigan was abandoned by her parents a still a very young age. She and her brother were raised by their grandmother after her father, a child molester and a psychopath, hanged himself in prison and her mother abandoned them just a few years later. By the time she was in her teens she was working as a prostitute and robbing people to support herself. It's always their upbringing isn't it?
After Wuornos got pregnant at age 14 by her own brother, she kept the baby and after giving birth she gave the baby up for adoption and left home to hitchhike across America working as a prostitute.Pretty soon after, she fell in love with a young waitress naemd Tyria Moore and they stayed together as a couple for four years.Together, their incomes were barely enough to survive on and Alieen knew she had to stop robbing her Johns, shoot them, and make ends meet.
The corpse of first victim Richard Mallory was found on December 1989 in the woods near Daytona Beach; he was shot three times. Six months later, another man was found shot six times with what officials say was the same gun. Before the body could be identified, the third victim was found. Four other men were also found shot by November.
Police received multiple calls identifying the killers as Wuornos and Moore, and detectives arrested both women in January 1991. Many say is was Moore who called officials, but it was never a fully proven fact. Wuornos confessed to six of the killings, all allegedly performed in self-defense. She claimed the men tried raping her and she had no choice but to protect herself. After a lengthy trial, she was found guilty and sentenced to death. While on death row, Wuornos started to read the bible, created drawings, helped others with their appeals, and began writing about her life in a journal. October 9, 2002, her life was ended by lethal injection. She earned an inaccurate label by the press of being the first female American Serial killer. Female serial killers have been around since men serial killers. Many females are not caught because they use different tactics and have different reasons for their killings.
