Overview
- The film Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers premiered Oct. 30 on Netflix, presenting rare footage from a death-row interview.
- Wuornos confessed to killing seven men in Florida while working as a prostitute, was convicted of six murders, and was executed in 2002.
- Investigators tied her to victims through a palm print in a victim’s car, pawn records and fingerprints, and a recorded call guided by Tyria Moore, who had immunity.
- She gave conflicting accounts of motive, variously asserting self-defense and later describing calculated robbery and willingness to kill again.
- Victim accounts remain central to retellings, including the first known victim Richard Mallory and missing retiree Peter Siems, whose body was never found and for whom no charge was filed.
