In this gripping episode, we delve deep into the chilling case of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's most infamous female serial killers. Known as the "Damsel of Death," Wuornos' tragic life and horrifying crimes have captured the attention of the world.

Join Matt, Lisa and Jules as we uncover the haunting backstory of Wuornos' troubled childhood, marked by abuse, abandonment, and a relentless struggle for survival. Through extensive research and expert interviews, we explore the psychological factors that contributed to the making of a monster, examining the complex web of trauma, mental health issues, and societal neglect that ultimately shaped Wuornos' path.

Drawing from court records, police investigations, and first-hand accounts, we piece together the chilling timeline of Wuornos' murderous spree. From her first victim to her subsequent targets, we analyze the patterns and motivations behind her cold-blooded acts, shedding light on the disturbing psychology of a killer.

As we navigate through the legal proceedings and media frenzy surrounding the case, we examine the controversies that arose, including debates around Wuornos' mental state and claims of self-defense. We also explore the impact of her troubled personal relationships, particularly her tumultuous alliance with Tyria Moore, on her murderous rampage.

Finally, we delve into the aftermath of Wuornos' capture, her trial, and the ultimate resolution of her case. We examine the legacy she left behind, both as a notorious criminal and as a symbol of the deeply rooted issues of abuse and neglect that plague society.

Prepare yourself for a thought-provoking exploration into the mind of a killer and the complex societal factors that can shape a life toward violence.
