Aileen Wuornos, one of the most infamous female serial killers in American history, continues to captivate audiences with her complex and tragic story. Recently, Netflix released a documentary titled Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, which delves into her life and crimes through a modern lens. This latest exploration of Wuornos' life comes more than two decades after her execution in 2002.
Wuornos was convicted of murdering six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990, while working as a sex worker. Her case drew widespread attention due to her claims of self-defense, which she later retracted. Despite being labeled as "America's first female serial killer," Wuornos was not the first; there were other female serial killers before her, such as Belle Gunness and Nanny Doss.
