The Guilty Files

TGF 014 Aileen Wuornos: Rewired


Listen Later

In this episode of Rewired, Dani steps into the mind of one of the most infamous female serial killers in American history—Aileen Wuornos. We’ve all heard the headlines: sex worker, serial killer, executed in 2002. But beneath the label of “monster” lies a complicated history of trauma, survival, and rage. This isn’t a justification. It’s an investigation—into how someone becomes what society fears most.

Dani pulls apart the timeline, dissecting Aileen’s early life, the abuse she endured, and the systemic failures that followed her like a shadow. He challenges the one-dimensional narrative and asks: Was Aileen Wuornos born to kill—or built by circumstance?And in true Rewired fashion, Dani pushes further—posing the uncomfortable what ifs:
  • What if she had gotten help instead of handcuffs?
  • What if the justice system saw her trauma before it saw her crimes?
This isn’t about sympathy. It’s about understanding the psychology behind violence—and the society that often helps shape it.Listen now to Rewired: The Mind of Aileen Wuornos.🎧 Tap the link.
