UPDATE: Aileen Wuornos, dubbed the “Queen of the Serial Killers,” has confessed to multiple murders in a shocking new documentary now streaming on Fox Nation. The two-part special, titled ‘The Amazon Review Killer,’ reveals the dark truth behind her confessions, which she made to protect her former girlfriend, Tyria Moore.
Between 1989 and 1990, Wuornos murdered seven middle-aged men along Florida’s highways, a crime spree that captured national attention. Convicted and sentenced to death, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002. The documentary exposes her tumultuous life, featuring rare interviews and insights into her psyche.
Emily Turner, director of the Netflix documentary “Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers,” sheds light on Wuornos’s troubled past. “I don’t think she was ever really listened to by the adults in her life,” Turner stated, highlighting the tragic circumstances that led Wuornos to commit her heinous acts.
The film includes a previously unseen interview with Wuornos recorded on death row, showcasing her complicated relationship with fame. “You guys are gonna make millions off this,” she remarked to filmmaker Jasmine Hirst, revealing her awareness of the media frenzy surrounding her crimes.
Wuornos’s relationship with Moore was fraught with tension. In a chilling recorded phone call, Wuornos told Moore, “I’m not gonna let you go to jail,” pledging to confess if it meant protecting her. Unbeknownst to her, Moore was cooperating with police, leading to Wuornos’s arrest in January 1991 after a multi-state investigation.
Wuornos claimed she acted in self-defense, alleging that her victims had assaulted her. However, she also robbed them of cash and valuables. The brutal murders involved victims such as Richard Mallory, David Spears, and Charles Carskaddon, all found shot along remote highways.
The film portrays Wuornos as both a victim and a perpetrator, capturing the complex nature of her existence. “She defies definition,” Turner asserted, emphasizing the contradictory aspects of Wuornos’s character. Not only did she gain notoriety as a killer, but she also articulated the struggles of sex workers and victims of violence.
Wuornos’s story remains a topic of fascination, as her life and crimes reflect deeper societal issues. Turner notes, “Her portrayal in the media was so different… I think her story has so many more lessons for all of us.”
As interest in Wuornos’s life continues, the documentary aims to provoke thought on the implications of her actions and the media’s role in shaping her legacy. Viewers can now explore the disturbing yet captivating narrative of Aileen Wuornos, available for streaming on Fox Nation and Netflix.
