The confession
Following this, the woman confessed to killing seven more men over a 12-month period, between December 1989 and November 1990.
All of her victims were middle-late aged white men, and included a construction worker, a rodeo worker, a truck driver, and a retired chief of police, and more.
She admitted in numerous phone calls to murdering the men, but claimed every time that they had attempted to s**ually assault her and that she shot them in self-defense.
She was subsequently charged with first-degree murder for the death of six men, one she wasn’t charged for due to investigators being unable to find the body, despite a confession to killing him.
After receiving six death sentences, Aileen Wuornos, who earned the nickname ‘Damsel of Death,’ was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.
Many still question whether she was truly ‘evil,’ or a victim of her life’s circumstance and a series of truly harrowing events.
