Scream and Sugar: True Crime Coffee Hour

Ep 59 - The Controversial Case of Serial Killer Aileen Wuornos


Listen Later

Welcome back to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.

This week, we're diving into the chilling and tragic case of Aileen Wuornos—often labeled as America's first female serial killer. But was she truly a cold-blooded predator, or a deeply damaged woman failed by every system around her? Join us as Candace traces Aileen’s turbulent life—from a childhood filled with abuse and abandonment to the Florida highways where seven men met their end. We’ll explore her controversial trial, the media frenzy that followed, and the psychological complexities that still spark debate today.

Was it self-defense, as she claimed, or something much darker? Brew something strong—this one’s heavy. 
And remember to stay spooky, y’all!
