112: Aileen Wuornos- Part 1

Aileen Wuornos is said to be one of America’s first female serial killers not in a caregiving capacity. Her murders reflected an intense rage and violence that was previously not associated with women.  She killed at least 7 men between 1989-1990, claiming all were acts of self defense. She was later executed for her crimes.   In this 1 part episode, we discuss Aileen’s history and whether nature vs. nurture (or both) created the angry and rage-filled person we have come to imagine when we hear her name spoken. We will also discuss the crimes and the events leading up to her conviction.  Support the show at www.patreon.com/killerqueenspod for ad-free episodes and immediate access to over 80 bonus episodes!
