Aileen Wuornos, often called America’s first female serial killer, was a drifter and sex worker who murdered seven men between 1989 and 1990 along Florida highways. She claimed the killings were in self-defense against violent clients, but prosecutors painted a different picture—a cold-blooded killer who preyed on men for money. Her troubled past, harsh upbringing, and the controversial trial that led to her execution in 2002 continue to fuel debate. Was Wuornos a victim of circumstance or a remorseless murderer? #AileenWuornos #HighwayKiller #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #SignatureCrimes
