Overview
- The documentary Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers began streaming Oct. 30 on Netflix.
- It features a rarely seen 1997 death-row interview in which Wuornos says, “The real Aileen Wuornos isn’t a serial killer. I was so lost I turned into one.”
- Coverage revisits a taped call after her Jan. 9, 1991 arrest in which Wuornos told Tyria Moore she would confess to keep her from getting in trouble.
- Police had Moore contact Wuornos under guidance, leading to Wuornos’s confession, as investigators also linked her to victims through witness sightings and a fingerprint.
- Wuornos was convicted of six murders and executed in 2002, and Moore is reported in 2025 to be living a private life in Pennsylvania.
