Aileen Wuornos was an American serial killer with a life story straight out of a dark, twisted movie. Born in 1956, she had a hellish childhood—abandoned, abused, and forced to fend for herself from an early age. She ended up working as a prostitute along Florida’s highways and, between 1989 and 1990, killed at least six middle-aged men. While she initially claimed the killings were in self-defense, she later admitted that money and survival were the real driving forces. Her notorious case turned her into a kind of grim celebrity, inspiring documentaries and the Oscar-winning film Monster, where Charlize Theron brought her chilling story to the big screen. In 2002, after a lengthy legal battle and over a decade on death row, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection. It’s a story of tragedy, controversy, and a life that became a cautionary tale of society’s failures.
