Aileen Wuornos

Aileen Carol Wuornos (February 29 1956 – October 9 2002) was an American serial killer who was sentenced to death by the state of Florida in 1992. Wuornos admitted to killing seven men, in separate incidents, all of whom she claimed had raped her while she was working as a prostitute. She was executed in 2002.

Trials and appeals

During the trial, she was adopted by Arlene Pralle and her husband, after Pralle had a dream in which she was told to take care of Wuornos. Despite Pralle's help, her appeal to the United States Supreme Court was denied in 1996.
