The story of his ex-wife Aileen Wuornos, an infamous serial killer

Wuornos’ mother, Diane Wuornos, was 16 when she gave birth to her. 

She never got to see her father, Leo Pittman, as her parents got divorced two months after she was born. 

Her father later committed suicide while serving life imprisonment for kidnapping and raping a 7-year-old girl.

Wuornos had a horrible childhood. Her mother abandoned her when she was six months old, and she was raised by her grandparents. 

Her grandfather sexually abused her and often hit her with a belt buckle. At the age of 13, she was raped and got pregnant. 

She gave birth at the age of 14, and the child was given up for adoption. By the age of 15, she had already started working as a prostitute. 

Wuornos, in an interview, said she would have five to six guys per day interested in her. She wasn’t high-priced, so she would keep customers satisfied.

When Wuornos was 33, her heinous crime began. She brutally killed seven men within a period of one year, all aged between 40 and 65. 

Wuornos denied being called a serial killer, saying she didn’t kill them every day and that if she killed, there would be hundreds. 

The killings began on the 30th of November, 1989, and the first victim was Richard Charles Mallory, aged 51. 

The police were clueless until Rhonda Bailey, who witnessed the accident, provided the description of Wuornos and her gay partner Tyria Moore after they abandoned their fourth victim Peter Abraham Siems’ car. 

Wuornos was arrested on the pretext of an outstanding warrant in the name of Lori Grody at the Lake Resort biker bar in Volusia County. 

In her videotaped confession, she asked the police to go ahead and put the electric chair on her, saying that she should have never done it but was pleading self-defense at her trial. 

However, her ex-lover Moore betrayed her turning star witness in the prosecution. 

She was helping arrest police in selling Hollywood the movie rights to Wuornos’ life. Wuornos later pleaded no contest to the remaining six murders. 

According to her lawyer, she was tired of being in the spotlight, the reporters, and everyone who was trying to make a career of her. 

She knew that if she went to the trial five more times, then she is going to be there for the next ten years, he said. Four days later, she was sentenced to death.

She was put to death on the 9th of October, 2002, by lethal injection after spending a decade on Florida’s death row.
