She claimed it was self-defense. The world called her a monster.
In this harrowing deep-dive documentary episode of Devil’s DNA: Serial Killers, we unearth the fractured psyche and violent legacy of Aileen Wuornos—America’s first convicted female serial killer who was dubbed “the damsel of death” by the media.
From a brutal upbringing riddled with trauma, abuse, and abandonment, to a chilling series of murders that left seven men dead along Florida highways, this episode doesn’t just recount the headlines—it peels back the human horror underneath. Was Wuornos a cold-blooded killer or a deeply damaged survivor of relentless exploitation? What role did society, misogyny, and mental illness play in the creation of this infamous predator?
Using real interviews, court transcripts, psychological profiles, and chilling soundbites from Aileen herself, we walk the line between empathy and terror—reminding listeners that the scariest monsters aren’t born… they’re made.
Listener discretion is heavily advised. This is true crime at its rawest and most unfiltered.
