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.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back to another episode of Bloodstained Backstories. I'm your
host Jace, and I'm your host Summer. Today, we are
going to introduce you to Eileen Wernos, an American female
serial killer. Aileen was a street prostitute along the highways
in Florida. She claimed her clients had either raped her
or attempted to rape her, and so she shot and
(00:23):
killed all seven of them and robbed them while claiming
it was in self defense.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Aileen was born on February twenty ninth, nineteen fifty six,
in Michigan. Her mother was just fourteen years old when
she married Aileen's father, who was eighteen years old. Diane,
Aileen's mother, gave birth to a boy named Keith, and
two years later, at the age of sixteen, gave birth
to Aileen. Diane and Aileen's father, Leo, divorced two months
(00:54):
before Aileen was born.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
In nineteen sixty seven, Leo was sentenced to life in
prison for kidnapping and raping a seven year old girl.
He was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and he hung himself while
he was in prison. Aileen never had the chance to
meet him.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Diane abandoned her children by leaving them with her parents,
who by the way, were both alcoholics. When Aileen was
almost four years old, Diane's parents adopted both Keith and
Aileen in nineteen sixty and they moved to Michigan.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
By the time Eileen was eleven years old, she was
engaging in sexual activity at school in exchange for cigarettes, drugs,
and food. Eileen claimed her grandfather sexually assaulted her and
beat her when she was a child. Before he would
beat her, the grandfather would force her take off her clothes.
(01:48):
At the age of fourteen, Eileen was raped by her
family friend and she became pregnant. She went to a
home for unwed mothers and gave birth to a baby
boy and placed them up for a option. Within the
next few months. After giving birth, Eileen dropped out of
school and her grandmother died of liver failure. At the
age of fifteen, Ellen's grandfather kicked her out of the house.
(02:11):
Having nowhere to go, Eileen began living in the woods
near her old home and made money supporting herself as
a prostitute.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Aileen was arrested in Colorado when she was eighteen years
old in nineteen seventy four for driving under the influence,
disorderly conduct and firing a twenty two caliber pistol from
a moving vehicle. Later, she was charged with failure to appear.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
In nineteen seventy six, Elene hitchhiked to Florida. There she
met a yacht club president who was sixty nine years old.
They quickly married, and their nuptials was announced in the
pages of the local newspaper. Being married did not stop
Aileen from getting involved with confrontations at the local bar,
and she did go to jail briefly for assault. Eileen
(02:59):
had a temper and at one fun point hit her
husband with his own cane. He proceeded to get a
restraining order against her all within a few weeks of
them getting married. They know their marriage on July twenty first,
after only being married nine weeks. I Lean returned to Michigan,
but was arrested on July fourteenth, nineteen seventy six, at
a club and charged with assault and disturbing the peace
(03:21):
when she threw a cue ball at the bartender's head.
I don't think that is the eight ball in the
corner pocket that she was looking for.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I don't think so either. On July seventeenth, Aileen's brother, Keith,
died of as virgilia cancer. Aileen received ten thousand dollars
from his life insurance policy. In August nineteen seventy six,
Aileen was fined one hundred and five dollars for driving
drunk with the money that she had inherited from her brother.
(03:51):
She paid the fine and spent the rest within two
months buying such luxuries and a new car. She wrecked
the car very shortly afterwards.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
In nineteen seventy, when Eileen was twenty two, she attempted
suicide by shooting herself in the stomach. She attempted suicide
six times between the ages of fourteen and twenty two.
On May twentieth, nineteen eighty one, Eileen robbed a convenience
store in Florida by stealing a whopping thirty five dollars
and two packs of cigarettes. She was once again arrested
(04:27):
and sentenced to prison on May fourth, nineteen eighty two,
and was released on June thirtieth, nineteen eighty three. Then,
on May first, nineteen eighty four, Eileen was arrested again,
this time for attempting to pass forged checks at a
bank in Key West, Florida. Eileen was named as the
suspect on November thirtieth, nineteen eighty five, in Pasco County
(04:51):
for the theft of a revolver and ammunition.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The arrests do not stop there. On January fourth, nineteen
eighty six, Leen was arrested again, this time in Miami.
She was charged with carthft, resisting arrest, and obstruction of
justice for providing identification with her aunt's name. The Miami
police found a thirty eight caliber revolver and ammunition in
the stolen car. Aileen just was not able to stay
(05:18):
out of trouble. On June second, nineteen eighty six, deputies
detained Aileen for questioning when a male companion accused her
of pulling a gun on him and demanding two hundred dollars.
Aileen was found with Sperry ammunition on her and police
discovered a twenty two caliber pistol under the passenger seat,
(05:38):
which was where she had been sitting.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
At the age of thirty. In nineteen eighty six, Aileen
met Tyria Moore, who worked as a motel made at
a gay bar in Daytona Beach. They soon moved in
together and Aileen supported them with the money she made
by being a prostitute. Being in love does not stop
Eileen from getting in trouble. On July fourth, ninth, eighty seven,
the Daytona Police questioned Aileen Interior at a bar regarding
(06:04):
an incident in which they were accused of assault and
battery with a beer bottle.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Eileen accused the Daytona Beach bus driver of assault in
March twelfth, nineteen eighty eight. She claimed that he physically
pushed her off the bus following a confrontation. Listed as
a witness to the incident was guess who tyreea now
here come.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
All the murders. Eileen murdered seven men within twelve months.
All of the men were motorists between the ages of
forty and sixty five.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The first victim was Richard Charles Mallory on November thirtieth,
nineteen eighty nine.

He was fifty one.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Aileen claimed that Mallory be raped and sonomized her after
he drove her to an abandoned area for sexual services.
Eileen claimed she killed him in self defense. Later on,
it became known that Mallory had previously been convicted attempted
rape in another state. Two days after the murder. A
deputy sheriff found Mallory's car abandoned on December thirteenth. His
(07:08):
body was found several miles away in a wooded area.
He had been shot several times, and two bullets to
the left lung were found to be the cause of
his death.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Next came David Andrew Spears on May nineteenth, nineteen ninety,
at the age of forty seven. He was declared missing
and his naked body was found with six gunshot wounds
from a twenty two caliber pistol.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
On June sixth, nineteen ninety, Charles Edmund Karskadon, aged forty,
was the next victim. He had been shot nine times
with a twenty two caliber weapon. The body had been
wrapped in an electric blanket and was badly decomposing when found.
Witnesses saw a Leen in possession of Carcassian's car, and
(07:56):
a Leen also pawned a gun identified as belonging to
him him.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Then, on July fourth, nineteen ninety, came the next victim,
Peter Abraham Seems, who was aged sixty five. His body
was never found, but more and Aileen were seen abandoning
his car after being involved in a car accident with it.
A woman witnessed the accident and gave the police a
description of the two women. The police found some of
(08:23):
the victim's belongings in pawn shops. Aleen's fingerprints was found
on the receipt at one of the pawn shops, and
it matched the print that was found in Seams' car.
Since Aileen had a criminal record in Florida, her fingerprints
were already in the database.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Troy Eugene Burris, aged fifty, on July thirty first, nineteen ninety,
was reported missing on August fourth, nineteen ninety. His body
was found in a wooded area. He had been shot twice.

The last victim was on November nineteenth, nineteen ninety, Walter
Gino Antonio, aged sixty one. Antonio's nearly naked body was

Five days later, his car was found.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
On January ninth, nineteen ninety one, Eileen was arrested at
a bar on the pretext of an outstanding warrant in
the name of Lori Grody. Police located More the next
day in another state. More agreed to elicit a confession
from Eileen in exchange for immunity of prosecution. More return
(09:48):

(10:56):
to death.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Aileen pleaded no contest the murders of Humphries, Bursham and
Spears on March thirty first, nineteen ninety two, saying she
wanted to get right with God. In her statements to
the court, she said, I want to confess to you
that Mallory did violently rate me as I have told you,
but the others did not. They only began to start,
(11:19):
So I'm not sure what that means is that.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Eleen was given three more death sentences in May fifteenth,
nineteen ninety two. She pleaded guilty to the murder of
Karl's Kadan in June nineteen ninety two, and received her
fifth death sentence in November nineteen ninety two. Aileen pleaded

three and was sentenced to death again. No charges were
brought against her for the murder of Peter Abram Simes
because his body was never found. Aileen received a total
of six death sentences.

women and then transferred to the Florida State Prison for execution.

counsel and terminate all pending appeals. She wrote, I killed
those men, rob them as cold as ice, and I
would do it again too. There is no chance of
keeping me alive or anything because I would kill again.
(12:35):
I have hate crawling through my system. I am so
sick of hearing this. She is crazy stuff. I have
been invalue mavated so many times. I am confident saying,
and I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm one who
seriously hates human life and would kill again.
