Aileen Wuornos: The Disturbing Legacy of a Serial Killer

In this intense episode of our true crime podcast, we explore the disturbing and controversial case of Aileen Wuornos—the woman often dubbed “America’s first female serial killer.” Between 1989 and 1990, Wuornos murdered seven men across Florida, claiming it was in self-defense against sexual assault. But was she a cold-blooded killer, a victim of abuse, or a tragic symbol of a broken system? We trace her troubled past, her crimes, and the media frenzy that followed—from her traumatic childhood and work as a sex worker, to the trial that made headlines nationwide. We also examine the ethics of her execution and the ongoing debate about justice, gender, and the American legal system. Join us as we dissect one of the most infamous true crime stories of the 20th century—a case that still sparks controversy today.
