the dark woods are floridas’s higwways it was down dirt roads like this that seven met the madness of one angry women
Aileen Wournos murdered them , robbed them and then drow home in their cars.
she’s been callled the damsel of death and the hooker from hell
but embellishment aside the story of history’s first female serial killer is macaber enought even without its supporting cast of characters.
first their Aileen lawyer she’s giving him tthe job of getting her to the electric chair
then there’s the serial killers new mother , she first met Aileen after her arrest and then legally adopted her.
and there’s Aileen ‘s gay lover who betrayed her to the police
if any was destined to end up here on deathrow it was probably Aileen Wournos
abandoned by her teenage mother when she was just six months old
Aileen was raised by her alcoholic grandmother and a cruel grandfather who regular beat her with his belt buckle.
when she was two her father commited suicide in jail where he was doing time for kidnapping and raping a child
by 13 she’d been reaped and was pregnant, at 14 she quite school and when her grandfather kicked her out of home Aileen Wournos life on the road began .
from age 15 Aileen Wournos worked prostitutions lowest and most ganderous trade
a hitchhicking hooker turning tricks from exit to exit on floridas interstate highways
basically Aileen say she’d have five to six guys
that all changed when she turned 33, after years of abuse and degradation at the hands of men Aileen started evening the score
the killings all began like this a middle-aged man pulled over to pick up Aileen that’s the first of just two facts on which everyone agrees.
the way Aileen tells that she was just a hooker trying to turn a trick and the men knew it
the state of florita maintains she tricks her victims by posing as a damsel in distress the men thought they were helping her out .
either way the second fact on which everyone agrees is that Aileen shot them dead.
maybe she was just born bad
she claimed it was self-defense ,but 7 times
Aileen Wournos began the last day of her miserable life on the road here, ordering her first beer at 11:00 in the morning
close to brole as usual it was Aileen Wournos style to hustle quarters for the jukebox so she couldlisten to her favorite song
on this day that was made easier by two undercover cops they struck up a conversation with her ,order some more beer and then convinced her to step outside.
Aileen was prepared for anything but the six florida police officers who arrested her
it was this point the story of the first serial killer becomes truly perplexing
she told police.
but by the trime of ther trial Aileen Wournos was pleading self-defense
her case wasn’t helped when tyria more now very much her ex -lover turned star witness in the prosecution
but it gets wors tyria had another deal going with the arresting police they were trying to cell hollywood the movie rights too Aileen Wournos life and crazy times.
district attorney rick ridgeway isone of the only officials willing to talk about the Wournos case anymore, the police certainly won’t out of cheer embarrassement.
a trenmendous amount of almost frenzy about the case and everybody wanted to get a scoop on the next guy about the case and there were so many people who were willing to pander to that in order to be the one who gets quoted or gets the movie made about it.
unfortunately people from their own sheriff’s office .
in the end it was only the producers of the american TV movie who where able to cash in on Aileen Wournos story .
tyria and the police’s conspiracy to get rich quick came to nothing once they were caught , but that hasn’t stopp Aileen Wournos suspecting someone somewhere wants to exploit her name.
“it’s making me get bitter , evil . angry I’ve never been before in my life worse than even out there with those men ,this is evil what those people have done to me i never hate4d men but now i do , i mean all , i have a category “
“i hate those male,male cops, real bad cuz they ‘er dirt balls, the cops ,the judges lawyers they are all male”
the final twist and this already mad tale was when Aileen Wournos decided to plead no contest to the remaining six murder chargers.
the judge sentence Aileen Wournos to death for the murder of troy burris
her layer steve glazer found himself in a bizarre position of helping his client take the express route to the electric chair.
the judge continues by sentence Aileen death for the murder of david spears.
so weren’t the lawyer trying to kill his client?
it was not was he was trying to do ,it’s what she wanted to have done to her she was tired of being in the spotlight she was tired of reporters and police and lawyers everyone making a career off of her.
she did not like the man hating killer label , she didn’t like the lesbian killer angel she don’t like were people saying about her and she knows if she got to go to trial five more times she’s gonna be in for the next ten years .
if steve blazer has done his job Aileen Wournos could be executed in this chair within 3 years, she waived her right t appeal.
alone and lost in her own nightmare Aileen Wournos is an american horror story she could escape death row but her bitterness and hate will see Aileen become the first women in over a century to be executed in florida.
