Childhood can affect future behavior. A past full of violence and lack of love is the origin of this character. Aileen Wuornos She was born in Rochester, Michigan, in the United States, on February 29, 1956, and died executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.
Wuornos killed at least seven people in 1989 and 1990. Her case drew people’s interest in her issues of gender, violence and the legal treatment of acts of self-defense.
She earned the nickname “Spider Woman” due to her unhealthy aversion towards men and her way of always dressing in black clothes.
His story has been made into a movie and even documentaries have been made. The movie “Monsters” gave actress Charlize Theron an Oscar.
Childhood
His father abandoned his mother and her brother a few months before Aileen was born. Some time later, her father was arrested for pederasty. Her mother decided to leave her children with her grandparents to start a new life.
In 1960, when Aileen was four years old, his grandparents, Lauri and Britta Wuornos, she was legally adopted her and her brother. Aileen never felt this place as her home, because she little by little became a hell. Her grandmother was alcoholic and violent and her grandfather mistreated and abused her.
Aileen spent her childhood looking for love. And she found refuge in the arms of an older man, with whom she became pregnant at the age of 15. Her grandparents forced her to give the baby up for adoption. After a while, her grandmother died of liver failure. Her grandfather could not bear the situation and he kicked her and her brother out of the house
Beginnings of the murders
Some time later, Wuornos began to engage in prostitution. He lived in different rentals. In 1976, she moved to Daytona, Florida, where she had the same job and occasionally stole from the men he was with.
A short time later, a man proposed to her, but after 9 months of their relationship, the man asked for a divorce for his explosive personality. The woman returned to her hometown of Michigan, where she built her way up to becoming a serial killer. In 1974, she was arrested and jailed for drunk driving and firing her .22 caliber pistol from the moving vehicle. For Wuornos, going to prison at that time became routine.
In late 1986, Aileen visited a Daytona bar and met the great love of her life. Tyria J Moore. As time passed, the situation began to get tough in the relationship, as they had no money to pay rent anywhere else. Situation that led Aileen to commit his first murder.
In 1989, a 51-year-old man named Richard Mallory was killed by Wuornos shot him three times in the chest, hid his body by the side of the road and stole his car.
Days later, authorities discovered Mallory’s body on the road. But the killings continued and they all had the same characteristics: they were men and their bodies were found on the road.
The killer is caught
In one of her murders, Wuornos was seen by witnesses as she was leaving the victim’s car. So the authorities started looking for her.
The Police found a clue in a pawn shop where they found the things that had been stolen from the victims. It was there when they were able to trace the author of these murders.
In 1991, Wuornos she was arrested at a biker bar. Upon being arrested, Tyria negotiated with the Police and agreed to hand over Wuornos in exchange for procedural immunity.
The owner of the bar where she was arrested explained that Aileen hated the male sex and, according to her, she was taking revenge on this world full of rotten men.
Wuornos accepted the murders but said that they had been in self-defense, since they wanted to rape her. In 2002, the ‘spider woman’ was sentenced to death and, in October of that year, they applied the lethal injection. (I)
