Aileen Wuornos: Victim or Serial Killer?

Aileen Wuornos is often labeled America’s first female serial killer—but her story is far more complicated than that.

In this episode of Twisted and Mysterious, we follow Aileen’s life from a traumatic childhood to the murders of seven men along Florida’s highways. She claimed self-defense. Prosecutors called it calculated murder.

So what really happened?

This is a story about survival, violence, and the uncomfortable space where victim and perpetrator collide.
