Aileen Wuornos without a doubt is one of the most interesting, animated, and sickly entertaining serial killers of modern times. Wuornos also happens to be one if not the first female serial killer sent to death row and executed. She was held responsible for the murder of 8 men found in central Florida around I-75. Aileen was known as a street walker, a hitchhiking hooker, but yet had a romantic relationship with a Tyra. Serial killers usually have a traumatic childhood, so it must be apparent that something went tremendously wrong with Aileen as a child that led her to be a psychotic serial killer.
