She used sex to trick seven men on the highway. Then, she shot every single one of them, stole their money, and left them by the road.
Aileen Wuornos:
What she said in court still scares people today:
"I robbed them, and I killed them as cold as ice," she said, calm one moment and screaming the next, "and I would do it again."
Between 1989 and 1990, Wuornos worked on Florida roads. She got into cars with men, killed them, and took their cars and money.
At first, she said it was self-defense because the men tried to hurt her. But later, she changed her story. She said she simply hated human life and always would.
Her childhood was very sad and violent. Her parents left her when she was a baby, and her grandfather was mean to her. She was abused and lived in the woods before she was even a teenager.
In old videos, she looks very crazy and angry. She screams about police lies and strange noises in her prison cell.
Florida executed her in 2002. Her final words were a warning: she said she would be back.
