Original subtitles

Interstate 75 runs through central Florida, a route for millions of

tourists each year.

Eileen Wuornos, who is better known as Lee, was just a drifter of 16 when she

first came down to Daytona Beach.

The I-75 was a highway Lee Wuornos knew well.

She worked as a prostitute, hitching rides from exit to exit.

She claimed to have had thousands of men over the years.

Then between 1989 and 1990, she murdered seven men.

The FBI labeled Lee Wuornos America's first female serial killer, and since

then the book and movie deals poured in.

Many people were surprised that Lee Wuornos' girlfriend, Tyria Moore, once a

prime suspect herself, was not charged.

Before their arrest, police were hunting for two women, popularly referred to

as... the angels of death serial killings seem to have become a brutal

fact of life tragically they happen so often they sometimes take on a horrible

familiarity but there's one string of murders unlike any you've ever heard

about first

there was ted bundy then the gainesville murders

And now Central Florida is being threatened with news of yet another

round of serial killings.

Eight men have been shot to death in cold blood on Central Florida highways,

including the busy tourist route of I-75.

But this time, there's an even more chilling twist to the slayings. Police

say for the first time in criminal history, these killers may be murdering

with a feminine touch.

The main suspects are two young women who play damsels in distress along the

roadway.

On January the 9th, 1991,

Lee Wuornos was arrested at the Last Resort Biker Bar in Daytona Beach.

This is the original police video of Lee Warnos confessing to the murder of seven

men.

Tyria Moore, her girlfriend, was not charged.

Hi, boys and girls.

This is Steve Glazer, Lee's lawyer.

When I was a child, I was abused by my parents, and I developed an imaginary

friend.

And I built him.

Lothar is the protection that I don't have. My dog died, so I keep Lothar out

here to keep the drug addicts away from the house.

And you made Lothar yourself? Made him out of my own... I made him out of my

own two hands.

I built him.

Steve and Lothar lived in a teepee together for several years.

This is Steve's office.

Before he became a lawyer, Steve worked as a musician.

He once opened for Leon Redbone.

We're driving with Steve to meet Arlene Prahle, who adopted Lee Wuornos last

year.

Arlene, a born-again Christian, lives on this 35-acre horse farm.

where she breeds Tennessee Walker horses.

My main problem so far is that Steve and

Arlene have told me that Lee wants $25,000 for the interview.

I'd always thought that the Son of Sam law prevented people from profiting from

their crimes, but apparently the Son of Sam isn't in effect anymore.

Last year Arlene employed Steve to handle her adoption of Lee Wuornos.

Nick Brownfield Do you

know she has our name?

Her legal name is Eileen Carol Wuornos Braley.

And changed her name.

There must be a real bond between... How were you aware that there was such a

strong bond between you? What made you first feel that?

It's a neat story, but I can't tell you. But the one thing I can tell you is our

in-laws have since... Arlene was refusing to talk until her daughter Lee

got paid the $25,000.

My husband and myself, yes.

That was okay to say, right?

But as far as me and Lee and how we got together, no, I just, I can't, I can't

start it. Because you see, I get so excited when I talk about it that I'll

start heading just into one hurdle, which Steve would say, okay, you could

go over one hurdle, but then I can't stop. It's like a horse that loves to

jump. And when I talk about her, I just, I love her and I keep going.

I told you, it's a fascinating, it's a fascinating story because of the way all

the characters in the play here are just so very interesting.

My doctor in Gainesville would probably even be willing for you to interview

him. He is a surgeon.

And when I had my accident last year on April the 14th,

it was horrible. I mean, I got kicked in the back. It lacerated my liver and

broke three ribs. They thought I was going to die.

And my doctor said it was the love of God going through me as a channel toward

Eileen Warnes that saved my life.

They said I was going to die, but the love that I had so much for her, I knew

she couldn't be alone, pulled me through. They all said I was going to

die. They beat my husband. He was out in Las Vegas at a convention, and I pulled

through. So, I mean, there's a lot, there's a lot to this that just, it's,

like he says, fascinating.

So the next stage is really to come up with a counteroffer.

No, the renex stage is coming with $25,000.

Right.

Okay, well, then, if you don't, then the next thing to do is to really get a

counteroffer, and let's tell her something, okay? And we'll express it

out to her today.

Because this way, like I told you before you left, I said, you know, please don't

come here with the understanding.

I was perfectly honest with you. Don't come here with the understanding that

she'll even talk with you without paying.

I told you that.

Okay, and so we would basically then...

In fact, Arlene and Lee's relationship is extremely well documented, and it

seemed far cheaper at this stage to buy in some local TV footage.

Levy County horse farm owner Arlene Prawley has come to the aid of accused

serial murderer Eileen Wernos.

Prawley says she and Wernos speak on the phone to each other frequently.

We have become super good friends ever since, and she is a beautiful woman.

She's not at all like the media has portrayed her to be. She's very kind,

compassionate.

She's got a heart of gold. This Thanksgiving should be a special one for

the Prawley family because this year they hope to be with their newly adopted

daughter. But she isn't a newborn.

She's 35-year-old Eileen Wuornos. Her eyes, there was just something about her

eyes that before we ever knew her, there was something that deep within me said

she is not capable of doing what they are accusing her of doing.

over the next few weeks a strange friendship blossomed with both women

exchanging daily letters phone calls and even poetry in one poem aileen wrote you

are way too kind to get to know my kind of mind i felt like i had known this

person forever and that was the weirdest feeling to me because i've never I've

never experienced that before. There are times when I'm there and she's so sad.

And I know if I could just hold her and pray over her, it would pick her up. It

would make her feel better. It would give her hope.

And to not be able to do that at this point, it's about driving me nuts. I

know that it's not motivated by anything like greed.

or self-betterment or improvement or anything like that. I know this is a

religious, spiritual desire that Arlene and Robert are going to undertake.

Prawley says she's not interested in any book or movie deals, and her only

motivation for this adoption is good old-fashioned Christian love and the

desire to have a family after all these years.

While we were waiting for Steve and Arlene to hear back from Lee Wuornos, we

traveled to Daytona Beach, where Lee Wuornos had last lived.

Police divers recovered the .22 caliber pistol that Lee Wuornos had used in all

seven murders from this lagoon in Daytona Beach.

Lee lived here with Tyria Moore, her lover for over five years, a woman she

referred to as her wife and whom she was desperately in love with.

They lived together at this motel, the Fairview.

and it was here that Lee Wuornos and Tyria Moore first saw the police

composites themselves.

Witnesses claimed to have seen them driving one of the murder victim's cars.

Tyria Moore fled to her family's home in Ohio, leaving Lee and eventually

betraying Lee and testifying against her in court.

Lee Wuornos was charged with all seven murders.

Tyria Moore became the main police witness against her.

This is Lee Warnos as she was first being charged.

A prostitute from the age of 14, Lee had a long history of neglect and sexual

abuse. Lee was born in 1956 in Troy, Michigan.

Three months later, she was abandoned by her mother.

In 1963, her father committed suicide in prison. He was serving a sentence for

sodomizing a seven-year-old child.

Tyria Moore represented the most stable relationship in her life. Do you

understand the nature of the charge? Yes, I do, sir.

Do you wish to be represented by counsel?

Yes, I do.

Can you afford to hire an attorney?

No, sir. Do you work?

No.

I'm in jail. How can I work? Well, obviously you're not working now, but

how long has it been since you last worked?

Oh, about... Oh, 84.

You haven't worked in six or seven years? How do you support yourself?

I'm just a professional call girl.

Do you own any property here in the state of Florida?

Do you own a motor vehicle of any kind?

Pardon? Do you own a motor vehicle of any kind? No, sir.

If you'll sign an affidavit, I will appoint the public defendant to

represent you.

And Ms. Warnes, you've been ordered in this warrant to be held without bail.

That will be my order.

The press reported that Lee Warners' favorite hangout was the last resort, a

biker bar near the Fairview, where she was arrested by the police on her last

day of freedom.

This could be fun.

We were looking for someone called, is

he called Cannonball or something?

Hi,

how do you do?

Hi,

how do you do?

So did you, did you actually know Lee well or not particularly?

Because as well as as well as a bartender knows an occasional No, she

only come in here like maybe a half a dozen times And she wasn't really a

regular customer a real frequent She was Well, she's she didn't

have no transportation and when she would walk back to where she lived down

the road down here This was on the side of the road. So she just stopped by And

then she got drunk down there the night before She got arrested

and she came down here and she slept on that seat for a little while.

On that seat, yeah.

And she was just here when I got here the next morning.

But as far as knowing anything about her personality or anything, I don't really

know anything.

And she was...

She was a flat cracker, you know, so nobody in here tried to pick her up.

Flat cracker? Flat cracker.

A lesbian.

Cannonball told us to come back the following day when the human bomb was

performing.

Someone who reportedly knew Lee well.

Real dizzy right now.

Real dizzy. Did you know Lee well? Yeah.

Can I talk to y'all in a few minutes?

I gotta walk this off.

We went to visit Dick Mills, who we'd heard of from various tabloid accounts

of his sex romps with a serial killer.

Dick Mills spent a week with Lee just before her arrest.

He picked her up at Willie's bar.

Lee was heartbroken. The police search was on and Tyria had just left her.

Oh,

hi.

They had nothing to do with it.

Oh, dude, not yet.

This is that paper you're talking about? Yeah, it's cool. It's called My Sex

Rants with Kinky Man Killer.

That's what the article's called.

All I want to know is, who's the best lawyer right there, man, to sue them for

this trash?

I've never talked that shit. Can I quote you a bit?

If you said this, right?

Can I quote you a bit?

Well, you retell me what it is you want to say. It says...

She stayed at my place for five days. At first, she seemed perfectly normal.

But after a while, she began making some really weird confessions.

We were lying in bed one night when she started talking about her

favorite sexual fantasies.

She said she often got turned on by imagining she had a black hood over her

head and was tied to a tree in a forest.

Then a guy would come up, rape her, and shoot her in the head.

She said the actual killing would make her climax.

I was real sickened by what she said.

Wrong.

Wrong. There's partial truth to that. But most of that, I don't know where it

came from or who got it or nothing about it. And you can check any film anywhere

in the country or anybody that's got it, and I've never said that.

Okay? It goes along the lines that she told me one time.

that the idea was that she'd like to lay in bed out in the middle of the forest,

the woods or somewhere in the mountains or something, have a hood over her head

or something, and somebody crawled in through the window and said, no, they

had their hood on or something, and would rape her or this and that kind of

shit, and she liked that.

As far as all these other things go pertaining to it, there's no reality to

it. Did you get any feeling that she hated men or...? No, I just got the

feeling she was what she was, a dyke, except I didn't know she was a killer.

There's no way I could know that.

But, I mean, could you tell that when you made love to her or...?

Nah, not particularly. She just probably liked it either way, whatever came

along.

Didn't really seem to matter much.

It's just another bad experience, I'm sure, for both of us.

But that is a bunch of garbage.

Like I say, why don't you ask them where they got the bullshit from?

That's what I, you know, I'm more amused than that.

Who told them, you know, who told them the lies? Or authorized them to write

lies?

Aren't they capable of telling the truth?

I know, I guess the truth doesn't sell many newspapers sometimes.

But she couldn't have always hated men.

I mean, it sounds as though you had some kind of a relationship.

I don't know. It's just that we're two lonely, desperate people in a bad

situation, except for the killing factors I didn't know about.

So it's just two people getting along for a little while, you know?

I don't really know how to explain that.

But I mean, when you made love to her, did it... You couldn't have felt that

she hated men?

I never really gave it much thought one way or the other.

I don't know. Whatever turned her on at the moment.

Or whatever she could get away with, I guess.

But from everything I've heard and read and seen since, I'm not pertaining to

this. I'm talking about what's been on TV. Why do you think she didn't kill you

as well?

You have to ask her that.

Well, what's your feeling?

Just maybe one possibility.

I don't know what this other woman looked like, but I might have resembled

her. Maybe I do, maybe I don't, or she might resemble me. You mean her lover?

And maybe it was just a mental thing with her, yeah, this woman she's living

with. Her lover, whoever it is.

All I ever heard was tie somebody.

I don't know anything else.

So if you want any answers to those questions, you'll have to ask those

people, whether it be the tie character or whether it be...

uh alien or so eileen whatever her name is herself before she

received her first death sentence lee planned to live in this cottage on

arlene's ranch and help her to breed horses

arlene also raises wolves

she believes they represent an important part of our spiritual

lives all too often forgotten today

We'd been in Florida a week now, and nothing had been heard from Lee.

Arlene always maintained that she and Lee had a very close relationship, but

something was obviously wrong.

Arlene now seemed to be negotiating her own personal appearance fee, entirely

separate from Lee's.

She quoted the Montel Williams show as paying $10,000.

But how much do you think you want if we don't have Lee in the film?

You talk to Steve. I've never done this before.

I said to Steve, well, you're not my criminal lawyer, so can you be my agent?

He said, yes.

He said, just have the Brits call me.

I've never done this before. What do you think might be a fair price? I have no

idea. I have no idea.

I've never done this.

I have never done this before.

But you could talk to Steve. I mean, do you think it'd be less than... Honestly,

I don't know. It depends how much... You talk to Steve.

How many days you want to be here, what you want to see, do you want the tapes,

do you want everything, the new stuff, all of the personal, the poems, the

letters, the artwork.

I mean, I'm sure he'll write up some kind of contract.

For this, you get this, and for this, you get everything.

Talk to him. He's my agent.

An agent. Do you believe this?

Arlene adopted Lee just before her first trial for the murder of Richard Mallory.

At this stage, her lawyer was Trish Jenkins, a public defender who has been

criticized for failing to bring to the court's attention the fact that Mallory

had previously served a 10-year sentence for attempted rape.

Many think it was Mallory's alleged rape of Lee that started her off on her

killings. He put the cord around my neck, and he said, yes, you are a

bitch.

He said, you're going to do everything I tell you to do,

and if you don't, I'll kill you right now, and I'll fuck you after,

just like the other sluts I've done.

And he said, it doesn't matter to me.

Your body will still be warm for my huge cock.

And he said, he was choking me and I was holding it like this. And he

said, do you want to die, slut?

And I just nodded no.

And then he said.

Are you going to listen to everything I've got to say? Have you do? And I just

nodded yes.

And he told me to lay down on the car seat.

Okay, what happened next?

Then he began to start having

anal sex.

Okay.

And...

He's doing this very violent manner, movement.

And then he, I don't know if he came,

climaxed. I talk street talk, so I don't know if he

did that.

And he violently took himself out and violently put himself.

in my vagina.

Were you saying anything to him at that point?

No, I was crying my brains out.

Okay, then what happened?

All right, so, he takes the

Vicene and he lifts up my legs and he puts

what turns out to be

rubbing alcohol in the Visine bottle, and he sticks some

up my rectum area.

And that really hurt really bad because he tore me up for a while.

And there was some in my vagina.

It was really hurt bad.

And then he walked around back to driver's side, and he pulled my nose

open like this.

Pulled them open, and he squirted rubbing alcohol down my nose.

And he said, I'm saving your eyes for the grand finale. And he put the visine

back on the dash.

And I was really pissed.

I was just, I didn't care. I was yelling at him and everything else.

He was laughing away, saying, that's what I want to hear. I hear it when you

start crying and all that pain.

I thought to myself, I've got to fight or I'm going to die. This guy is going

to play with me and play with me, and then he's going to kill me.

He's already said he's going to kill me. He's already said he killed other girls.

I've got to fight.

I jumped up real fast, and I spit in his face.

And he said, you're a dead bitch. You're dead. And he's wiping his eyes.

And I laid down real quick.

and grabbed my bag, and he was starting to come for me. When I grabbed my

bag and whipped my pistol out toward him, he was coming toward me with his

right arm, I believe, and I shot immediately, and I think I shot twice,

as fast as I could.

Lee had expected to be acquitted, but then Judge Blunt took the unusual move

of allowing evidence of the other six murders to be presented.

until by warrant of the governor of the state of florida you eileen carroll warn

us be electrocuted until you are dead and may god have mercy upon your course

most

of

us will probably never worry about spending time in jail, but if you are

ever involved in the criminal justice system, you will need a lawyer who can

explain the system to you. In a completely unexpected legal move, Lee,

with Arlene's help, decided to hire Steve to defend her on the next three

murder charges and to fire her public defender, Trish Jenkins.

Steve attracted enormous media attention when he entered a guilty or no contest

plea to the next three murders.

The born-again Arlene Prowley believed Lee should come clean and confess her

sins. was led from Marion County Jail, she gave no indication that she would

plead no contest to three murder charges, instead talking about dropping

her public defenders and hiring private attorney Steve Glazer. But only seconds

after being named her attorney, Glazer surprised everyone and told the court

that Wuornos wanted to change her plea.

With her adoptive mother watching on, the nation's first known serial killer

pleaded no contest to killing Dick Humphreys and Troy Burris in Marion

County and David Spears in Citrus County.

Legally, the no contest plea is viewed as a guilty plea, and because there is

no plea agreement, Wernos still faces the death penalty in each case, an

unusual legal prospect that Judge Thomas Swaya was obviously aware of, as he

carefully questioned Wernos about her decision.

God has forgiven her for what she's done, and our state has the death

penalty, so why not go for it? I mean, wow, she could be home with Jesus in a

matter of a few years.

The theory and the philosophy of Jesus Christ, if you are going to...

believe that you're saved by Jesus Christ, the first thing you have to do

is confess.

Confess your sins, and that's between her and God, and that's what she's doing

here. She'd be much better off in heaven. I mean, if I had the choice, I'd

rather be up there, but God has not chosen for me to go.

But, I mean, Lee has an open door here.

I have made peace with my Lord, and I have asked forgiveness.

I am sorry that my acts of self-defense ended up in court like this.

but I take full responsibility for my actions.

It was them or me.

I am sorry for all the pain that my actions have caused.

I am prepared to die if you say it is necessary.

By pleading guilty, it appeared that Lee Warnos was in reality hoping for mercy

and forgiveness, but that is not what happened.

I sentence you in case number 91-463.

to death for the murder of Troy Burrus.

Case number 91-304, I sentence you to death for the murder of Charles

Humphreys. Case number 91-112, Citrus County case number, I sentence you to

death for the murder of David Spears.

Thank you.

And probably see I'll be up in heaven while y'all are rotting in hell.

to get raped in the ass one of these days?

OK, there will be an automatic appeal. You have the right to an appeal.

Mr. Glazer, is that going to be handled by you or the public defender? May your

wife and kids get raped. I would ask that you would point to the public

defender's office.

OK, I'll appoint the public defender's office to handle the appeal. There's one

other thing that I want to say that I think needs to be said.

I knew I was raped, and you aren't nothing but a bunch of scum.

Therefore, these proceedings are now concluded.

Steve

played

this song to Lee after she received the death sentences.

Just before they serve him one last meal, shave his head

then tell him how he... feels the warden comes to say

goodbye reporters come to watch him die watch him

as he's strapped into the chair

have you seen the iron

lady's charms legs of steel leather

Strapping on a man to die A life for a life, an eye for an

eye And death's the iron lady in the chair

I haven't sang that in a long time. I'll do it again

later, but I just haven't seen it in a long, long time.

What does Lee think of that song?

I gave her a copy of it and I sang it for her.

And I didn't have my guitar, but I sang it for her in the cell, and she enjoyed

it. Especially the part about, in the courtroom, watch the balance of the

scales. If the price is right, there's time for more appeals.

The strings are pulled, the switches stayed, the finest lawyer's fees are

paid, and a rich man's never died upon the chair.

We travel down to visit Lee at this maximum security prison on the edge of

the Everglades, a seven-hour trip from Gainesville, where Steve and Arlene

live.

I learned that Lee was now enormously depressed.

She desperately missed Tyria and barely communicated with anyone.

Arlene and Steve still hadn't heard from Lee since we'd first arrived in Florida

over two weeks ago, and I realized their relationship with Lee was not as close

as I had first thought.

Lee is living in a 6x8 cell on death row.

We had arranged through the superintendent to meet her at the prison

chapel.

I'm Lieutenant Dodrell, and we were just trying to get inmate Guarnos. We told

her that you were here, and she's refusing a visit.

She's refusing a visit?

I just told the officer in confinement to get it in writing.

So we have it written, we're going to get it in writing. I can't believe this.

She says something about her laundry is not... back and she doesn't want to wear

a dress.

She doesn't have to wear a dress.

But she won't get dressed.

She won't get dressed.

It's ridiculous because we've come all the way down from Gainesville. I know.

Every time we ask her, you know, she's just really uncooperative.

We can't force her to do it.

But I am getting to write it in writing so that I won't get in trouble for not

having you visit.

No, yeah.

Hello?

Hi.

We were looking for you.

You what?

Can this eat?

Well, it's not that.

Why didn't you drive up?

Because the gate was locked down.

Oh, it's just for the horses not to get out.

So how did it go?

Rita rolled her eyes. This is not good. I have more bumps.

This is terrible.

She wouldn't talk to us. She wouldn't see us.

Why?

No idea.

She just wouldn't.

She just didn't want to talk, didn't want to say anything, didn't want to

communicate, so we didn't get anywhere.

That's a shock.

That's a total shock.

Well, Steve's going Thursday, so go back with Steve.

I mean, do you have any idea why she might not have wanted to... Arlene and

Steve were still protesting that they didn't know what was wrong with Lee.

They seemed unable to explain why they still hadn't heard from her. So in a

sense, you know, now we're trying to find out from you what... The only thing

I can think of is because I was honest with her and sort of disciplinarian.

that perhaps she was trying to punish both steve and i you know we lost the

trial and yet she's she said i want to die how are you disciplinarian i mean

what i wrote letters and i told her that she acted terrible in the courtroom and

that you know she better improve her behavior and she would is that when she

is that when she gave the judge the bird yes yes and i wrote a very strong letter

I also told her I was sick of her doubting me and doubting Steve, that he

was a very honest human being. He did just what she wanted, and because we

lost, that was not his fault.

So I feel, in a sense, that perhaps with the money, she knows the devastation

financially that we are in, and she could help now.

And this is her way of punishing me and punishing Steve by saying, well, good.

We could get this money if I gave an interview.

I'm not doing it Why do you think she was so mad at both of you at the end of

the last trial because we lost because she has three death Sentences she said

she wanted to die, but in her heart she wants to live So you know how you say?

I'm hungry. I'm hungry feed me, but you really don't want to eat That's

basically it. I want to die. I want to die, but when she got the three death

sentences. She was furious That's why she gave him the bird If it comes, it

comes. And when it comes, it comes. Steve, though, was still insisting Lee

wanted to die. His whole justification for entering a guilty plea for Lee was

that she wanted to go to the chair.

And you're sure she wants to go to the electric chair? Yes, I'm sure.

I'm sure that in her anger and grief and torment and the fact that it's very,

very hard to live with the fact that she killed seven men, seven people, that she

does want to die for it.

She cried in the courtroom when she read her statement. She said, I'm not afraid

to die, but if you feel it necessary to kill me, so be it.

And as I told her from the beginning, I'll help her.

I don't feel comfortable.

but I'll sit there with her when they strap her in. She asked that I'd be

there for her. She said, well, will you be there with me? And I said, Lee,

you're allowed to have a lawyer and a member of the clergy.

If you want me there, I'll walk right up to there with you, and I'll be with you

in the final moments.

Then I'll have to deal with the... I'll have to deal with the...

That pain later, I have spoken to several lawyers who have witnessed the

execution of their clients, and they assured me it's something that they live

with forever.

It's nothing I look forward to, but as her friend, and I hope I'm becoming her

friend, I will be there for her.

And I'll give her the advice that Woody Allen gave in his movie.

I think it was Take the... I don't remember the movie. It might have been

Take the Money and Run.

The lawyer's advice to the client who gets the electric chair is, don't sit

down.

They call this the death house.

If Lee is electrocuted, she will be the first woman ever in the state of Florida

to have gone to the chair.

This is the cell that the inmate is kept in up to seven days prior to his

execution. About five o'clock in the morning, He's brought out where he is

shaved, his head is shaved, and his right leg is shaved.

And then he is brought through this door, which proceeds down a corridor

which goes to where the electric chair is.

As he's going down the hallways, he's escorted by the assistant superintendent

and the correctional officer chief and is brought in here to the actual

chamber. At this point, he...

is seated in the chair in front of the news media witnesses and the official

witnesses who are already seated in the witness area.

He's brought in and put into the chair, and the straps are placed around his

chest and around his lap and on his arms.

And then his legs are placed into these straps and secured there.

After the inmate is secured in the chair, the superintendent will check the

straps and ensure that they're all in place like they should be.

He will then come over to the microphone that we have here in the chamber and

remove the microphone and hold it up for the inmate to make a last statement to.

He'll ask the inmate, do you have a last statement?

And he will either sometimes say something or sometimes won't.

After that is completed, the superintendent will go over to the

telephone and check with the governor's office to see if there's any last minute

stays.

If he hears no last-minute stays from the governor's office, the electrode

then is placed on top of the inmate's head.

It's an actual cap with an electrode inside.

It's secured onto his head.

One of these electrodes here is then fastened onto the top of the headpiece.

Another device is placed around his calf, and the other electrode is placed

onto that piece.

After that is completed, the superintendent will make a motion to the

executioner who is here inside the execution chamber where the executioner

is.

And he will nod to the executioner to go ahead and proceed with the execution.

The executioner will throw a switch.

The switch will start an automatic cycle starting out at 2400 volts at about 8

amps.

At this point, after they have seen that it has been carried out, They observe

some tendencies of the inmate when the voltage hits him to tense up.

It's almost simulating as if someone was lifting weights.

And that's the only motion that you see out of the inmate is just a tensing of

the muscles.

After that cycle is completed, there's two physicians who are sitting here in

the chamber who come over and examine the body to see that if the inmate is in

fact dead.

It was 6 a.m. Steve was off to visit Lee and hopefully get us in the following

day.

Steve said it was a seven-joint ride to the prison, and he brought along a tape

of his own music with him singing and playing all the instruments, especially

for the occasion.

Turn the keys over to you.

If I'm not out in three and a half hours, call the SWAT team.

Bye.

Steve was nervous.

He hadn't talked to Lee for a month and didn't know how she wanted to plead at

the next trial at Pasco County in five days' time.

If Lee changed her plea to not guilty, Steve told us that he was going to have

to resign from the case because he didn't have the necessary resources to

fight it.

I'd finally given in and paid Steve $10,000, a figure we'd settled on

instead of the $25,000, apparently with Lee's consent.

Suddenly, this guard stepped out of the guardhouse and stopped us.

The entire prison was locked down, and we learned we'd committed a major

security violation by driving along the perimeter fence.

All right.

All right, here's the contract. I'll just have her sign it. The trip to the

prison had gone well.

Lee Wuornos was going to keep to her no-contest guilty plea for the trial at

Pasco the following week, and Steve and Arlene were to be paid $2,500 apiece.

What's Davy Crockett doing on the $100 bill?

Here I am paying Arlene her money in advance in exchange for a proper

interview and additional information.

$1,000 on sign-up in the fourth race at Belmont?

Steve then got concerned about his payment. What?

She wants to know when I was going to get paid, so I told her, you know, I

trust her too.

I trust you guys that you'll pay me when you... When are you going to pay me?

When are we going to pay you? Yeah.

Um, well, originally we were going to pay half the money up front. Oh, you

want to just pay me all the way at the end?

No problem with me.

I have trust in my fellow person.

$1,000 of the final payment was to go to Lee Wuornos directly in prison.

I had always thought the son of Sam Law would prevent this kind of payment.

But Steve said Son of Sam isn't in effect anymore.

And how did you first get to hear of her?

I read about her in the newspaper.

I saw her pictures in the paper.

And my dad was in the hospital with a heart attack.

And my husband and I had nothing to do but read papers. And so we read the

papers on her.

As soon as we saw the pictures in the paper her eyes I mean I read people's

eyes and I just knew she was not capable of being a serial killer and doing what

they said so We prayed for two and a half weeks and finally at the end of two

and a half weeks We reached out to her through a letter and I told her that

she was going to think i was crazy but that jesus himself told me to write to

her and she said that when she first got arrested she went and said god if you

were real send a christian woman into my life to befriend me through this mess so

she got my letter and i mean it was just like instant explosion like poof here's

this person so that's how it started and lots of phone calls later and

hundreds of letters later and

thousands of dollars of phone bills.

Here we are.

Arlene believed Lee Warner should take the guilty no contest plea and confess

her sins to Jesus.

And this is my favorite picture.

This is of Stephen Lee in the courtroom after she came clean.

Yeah, I mean, when she, how do you mean came clean?

Pleaded no contest.

The amazing thing about it is that you can see the look on her face. It's one

of the few pictures that anyone has ever taken of her that show that she's, you

know, happy or content.

This is almost like the first time she's actually, you know, I think she's

relieved. If you look at her face there, she's actually smiling, relieved.

Most of the pictures that the press put in the newspaper are always the

unflattering ones.

Now that Leah being paid we returned to the prison the following day All right,

we've come to try and do to see Lee warn us Okay,

we're gonna have to go back to the car

That's right When I spoke to you I was the one who was what you were being held

hostage at the rear gate remember oh We we unfortunately drove around me. Yeah,

we photographed the institution and a lot of trouble

We waited for an hour for the prison escort to take us through.

Then we heard Lee was again refusing to talk.

Apparently, since Tyria betrayed her to the police, Lee just wanted to be left

alone in her cell.

There's been enormous public pressure to send her to the chair, and each county

wants to be seen to be the one to do it. You don't want to be present for today's

hearing. Because I'm tired of this re-election jazz, or just trying to get

promotional ladder climbing.

and political prestige from this, and I'm sick and tired of this. I'll

probably get three more death row sentences, and then I got to go to Pasco

and Dixon for two more death row. How many times you got to kill me? You know

what I mean? This is bullshit.

I don't need to be doing this.

Several of the victims' families have said they want to be present at the

execution.

Steve is even talking about selling the film rights off to the highest bidder to

publicize the horrors of the chair.

The people that did this just can't imagine the grief, the hurt, the anguish

that they have caused.

This family, this is a man that I hug for... I hope she meets up with,

quote, Old Sparky.

You know who Old Sparky is.

And if the other lady so wishes, she can stand there and hold her hand, as far as

I'm concerned.

People were also concerned that Tyria Moore, Lee's girlfriend, once a prime

suspect, had not come forward earlier. And I feel like the other girl could

have stopped some of them if she'd have come forward in time.

She knew about them, some of them.

But she didn't say anything.

Maybe save four men could have been saved.

If she had, and she did not. Mrs. Prater's brother was the fourth victim.

Lee, meanwhile, became increasingly withdrawn and hostile.

I flatly don't want to be here. She doesn't want to be here. Okay, all

right, you don't have to be here, but let me give it some thought and I'll

decide whether... I don't want to be back at the prison.

I don't care what the sentence is. I'm already on death row. I'm going to see

the chair.

This is all re-electional purposes.

This is not for nothing but get you guys re-elected. And this is a bunch of

bullshit. This doesn't even need to happen.

I'm trying to save taxpayers' money. You people don't care. You want to press on

with a jury and everything else to try to impress the public.

And all I want to do is go back to prison, wait for the chair, and get the

hell off this planet that's full of evil and your corruption in these courtrooms.

It was in these woods that Lee Wuornos claimed Richard Mallory raped and abused

her. Many believed her testimony.

But then what about the other six victims?

We contacted the police who conducted the investigation, Tricia Jenkins, Lee's

ex-public defender, the psychiatrists who examined her, and Tyria Moore, her

lover, but all refused to talk.

At her trial, Lee Wuornos was medically described as a damaged and primitive

child who sees the world as a place full of evil spirits and ghosts.

She was described as having uncontrollable rages and temper

tantrums, and being too immature to properly grasp the finality of death.

Mike Reynolds has just published a book on Warners called Dead Ends.

Well, Lee's life was, this is pretty much, she had run out.

As a prostitute, which she was never that very successful with, she never put

much effort into it.

Lee never put much effort into her crimes either, crimes prior to that.

She didn't have much of a commodity out there.

She was overweight.

She was beery.

She never dressed as a prostitute, never wore makeup. She wore cutoffs, sneakers,

a camo t-shirt, and a cap and glasses standing on the side of the road.

And her hustle, as you look at her hustle, she wasn't soliciting. She would

get in the car, engage the situation, say, you know, these are my kids here,

and show the photographs of the children, well, Laurie Grody's children,

his aunt's sister's children, and give them some song and dance story. I need

some money, and I'll tell you what, I'll do this for you. You know, we could go

over here in the woods and do this. It was, she was running out of options.

Oh, yes, I'm a public defender.

It was the night before the trial at Pasco County.

Other lawyers were accusing Steve of greasing Lee's path to the electric

chair and being unfit to represent her.

They would turn their backs on Steve as he walked into the courthouse.

Oh,

yes.

I'm a public defender Pretending

that I'm doing well When the rich

make bail and the poor stay in jail I wonder

what I'm doing here Steve still insists Lee wants to die. So why did

she get so angry?

when she was sentenced?

I mean, why did she have the outburst that she had in court?

Why did she give the judge the bird? Why did she react to you and to Arlene in

the way that she did after that sentence was passed?

Maybe you misunderstand what... I have no problems with Lee. Lee had no

problems with me after that plea.

Well, I thought there was a long time when she didn't write to either of you

or... No, we're talking on March 31st, she entered a change of plea.

May 15th, she was sentenced.

May 15th till now is what? That's only 30 days.

And in that 30-day period, I have written to Lee twice and seen her.

And I... But you just saw her? Yeah, I just saw her.

We are finally about to see Lee Wuornos on her way to court.

All the press attention has made her into something of a star.

Even before her arrest, up to 15 Hollywood movie companies were competing

for her story.

To date, Republic Pictures and CBS have produced a TV movie called Overkill,

starring Jean Smart as Lee Wuornos, and there are two feature films being

negotiated.

There are also the chat shows, documentaries and the books.

The deal on On a Killing Day...

gives Arlene Crowley 33% on every paperback sold.

Lee, facing yet another death sentence, seemed to be more upset about these

deals than anything else.

Yes, I'd like to say that...

Wait a minute.

To the public and to all the people of the world,

and to the news personnel that have been working on these

trials and these cases for the past 16 months that had stated defamations and

mendacious lies of 98.6% magazines and news articles to probably

paid off by the cops to vile my character, make me look like a monster

and deranged or something like a Jeff Dahmer, which I'm not.

I intend to expose the crooked cops to the people all over the

world, not just America, not just Florida, all over the world before I

die.

And I also feel that the movie Overkill, that is a total fictional

lie,

framed me as a first-time female serial killer for the title for that

movie.

For first female serial killer is not what I am, and I'm not even near it, and

my confessions prove it, yet they have taken the confessions and gone 200%

against what my confessions stated to get their bogus movie out.

And it stated self-defense, totally, which they hid from the jury at the

Mallory trial, and they have hid from the public eye.

Lee Wuornos insists she is not a serial killer, that she did not stalk her

victims or plan her crimes.

As with the movie deals, Lee is also surrounded by a web of experts, all

competing with their own theories on her behavior.

Lee is portrayed as anything from a neglected and abused child who hates her

father and is murdering him over and over again, to a sadist who takes

pleasure in the agony of her victims.

Geneticists have asked for samples of Lee's body tissue, and there are plans

to preserve Lee Wuornos' brain for future experimentation.

We're chasing Sheriff Don Morland across the Marion County car park.

Sheriff Morland has avoided our phone inquiries about three of his officers

reportedly having had movie discussions with Hollywood a month prior to Lee's

arrest.

We've also contacted the Public Defender's Office, the State Attorney's

Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office, all of whom have refused to talk

to us.

He tried to get Sheriff Moreland to speak, but all he did was to lock the

door of this public building from the inside.

The only person who would talk to us was Sergeant Brown Jarvis of the Marion

County Police Force, who led the murder investigation.

I asked him whether the case had caused his demotion.

right i was actually transferred back into the patrol division it had followed

a month of continual harassment on the job in the current position i was in

which ultimately started when captain vinegar had realized that i found out

about their plan to work with tyria moore in obtaining a movie rights

package and who was tyria moore tyria moore during the course of this

investigation she was

targeted as one of the two suspected killers of these men.

And there was a lot of evidence.

A state attorney's report found that three of Jarvis' fellow officers,

Captain Binnegar, Sergeant Munster, and Major Dan Henry, were involved in movie

discussions with Tyria Moore after Lee's arrest.

Yeah, ultimately, when the arrests came, Lee Wuornos was charged with the murder,

and Tyria Moore...

was not charged with anything, but she was made a state's witness, and she was

working with these fellow officers on obtaining movie rights.

I met her in a bar.

The police had found Tyrea in Ohio, where she agreed to set up her lover to

confess.

We were sitting on the floor watching TV, and she just come out and said, I

have something to tell you, and I asked her what.

And she said that she had shot and killed a man that day.

She loved you, didn't she?

Yes.

She said she'd do anything for you, didn't she?

Yes, she did.

And in order for her to say what you wanted her to, you lied to her, right?

Yes.

It was, in fact, much more than a couple of times, wasn't it?

It could have been.

Do you recall giving the deposition this morning?

Yes, I did.

Tyria Moore agreed with Sergeant Jarvis' superiors to help get Lee to confess.

Tyria was brought back down to Marion County and housed in a motel.

From the motel, Tyria Moore had a number of phone conversations with Lee, who at

that time was held in custody in jail but had not yet confessed to the

murders. These conversations were monitored and made under police

supervision.

Hello?

Yes. Yes.

or what?

I don't know. What the hell's going on, Lee? They've called.

They've been up to my parents again.

They've got my sister now asking her questions. I don't know what the hell's

going on.

Huh.

What are they asking your sister questions for? I don't know.

Hmm.

Lee, they're coming after me. I know they are.

No, they're not. They've got to. Why are they asking so many questions then?

I'm gonna have to because I'm gonna go to jail for something that you did. This

isn't fair.

My family is a nervous wreck up there. My mom has been calling me all the time.

She doesn't know what the hell's going on.

Okay. Do what you gotta do, okay?

Alrighty.

What?

You evidently don't love me anymore. You don't trust me or anything.

I mean, you're gonna let me get in trouble for something that I didn't do.

I can't help it. I'm scared shitless.

I don't know whether I should keep on living or if I should... What

if they don't believe me?

What?

Why the hell did you do this? Why did you do this? I don't know.

Listen, Ty.

What?

I'll probably never be able to see you again. Do you know that? Yes.

I love you.

If I have to confess everything just to keep you from getting in trouble, I

will. Okay.

So don't worry, okay?

Okay.

At her confession, Lee repeated parts of the phone conversation with Ty and said

it was because of Ty that she was confessing.

Taria came from what police called a small-town quintessential American

family, something which Lee was greatly drawn to.

It seems anytime something comes up with the Wernos case, we get affected.

For example, in October, on October 31st, just days after depositions had

been taken on the case, I came home from work and went to my back door and

noticed a note in the door.

And the note... The back door here. The back door of my house, yes. And the note

was stuck in the door, and I read it, and essentially it said, you know, keep

your mouth shut unless you want your family to get hurt.

And I really didn't think too much of it at the time because, you know, I've seen

threats before. That's no big deal.

But I turned it over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement just in

the event that anything did happen. I wanted them to have it documented.

Less than a month later, on November 25th, my wife had gone out to the post

office in the store during the daylight hours. It was like 10 o'clock in the

morning. When she came home, the house had been broken into. The doors were

ajar.

She went up to my office, and all of the files on the Wuornos case, on the

investigators, and all the information I had had been trashed. Nothing else had

been touched in the house.

This is the note that was pinned to Brian Jarvis' back door.

He suspects the burglary was connected with the Wuornos case, but has been

unable to prove who was responsible. I have no way to prove who broke into my

house. I went to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. I went to the Florida

Department of Law Enforcement. I had hoped that... I could get a good

investigation done.

Instead, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement initially accused the media

of breaking into my house to create a story. It was ridiculous.

They refused to acknowledge the fact that there was something wrong here that

they had to check into, and they refused to check into it.

After accusing the media, they accused me of setting up the burglary. Totally

ridiculous.

Brian Jarvis now works as a private investigator in Tampa.

He resigned from the police force.

And I could see from that point on, you know, the state attorney's office

wouldn't do anything in their investigation up in Ocala.

FDLE wouldn't do their job down here.

I wrote to the FBI.

It took four months to get a reply from them. In the meantime, we were literally

awake for weeks at a time because we were afraid to go to sleep at night.

And it just really messed up our...

whole lifestyle, you know, but just the thought that... The evidence

confronting Tyria Moore, she was in possession of property belonging to one

of the murder victims, yet she was never charged with anything.

She had been seen when we brought the composites around.

A person in a convenience store said, I saw two people fitting those

descriptions in here.

And the date and time she gave was the same date and time that we narrowed Mr.

Humphreys down to being there, because we had found a receipt in his car.

A statement was taken from her. It was never followed up on. She was never

shown photographs of the girls. She was never followed up on in any manner.

There is no evidence Tyria Moore was involved in the killings.

We talked to the clerk at the convenience store.

She remembered seeing Tyria and Lee together, but refused to give us an

interview.

None of the witnesses attached to the case would talk to us.

This man met Tyria Moore and Lee Wuornos when they crashed a car in these woods

belonging to Peter Sims, one of the murder victims.

If y'all don't get in that van and get out of here, I'm going to call the law.

Well, we just wanted to ask about Lee Wuornos and Tyria Moore at the truck

stop. I don't want to. I got nothing to say.

I don't know if something happened with that car before or after or whatever.

I don't know.

Because there was a guy called Ray who fixed it, right?

Yeah.

We tried to talk to him, but he seemed very frightened.

Yeah.

Why do you think he was frightened?

I don't know. He might be scared that girl is going to get out of jail and get

him next. I don't know.

It was Tyria Moore driving the victim's car when it crashed.

Lee Wuornos has never implicated Tyria in the murders.

In Tyria Moore, the mysterious Tyria Moore... Michael McCarthy is writing a

book with Brian Jarvis, the ex-policeman. I believe the person that

she, as she perceived it, loved for the first time in her whole life and was

willing to do whatever...

under whatever circumstances, to provide what she probably had for the first time

was like a nuclear family.

She became a couple. She was the husband, quote-unquote, and Tyria Moore

was the wife, or at least that seems to be the setup.

Out of that spirals a life of incredible resentment, frustration, and rage.

And who does she kill?

She kills her father over and over and over again.

The police say, we don't know how many men she killed. She kept killing the

same guy.

We don't know what triggered it off, but it wouldn't take a Sigmund Freud to try

to figure out the relationship between her and her father.

And to look at these middle-aged, white men, sort of business types, who must

have epitomized to her everything that she hated in this culture.

I'd also learned to my horror that Arlene had written to Lee, saying that

she didn't trust my eyes and Lee should be very careful in dealing with us.

Arlene herself hadn't visited Lee now for over two months, and had said in an

unguarded moment that she wished she'd never heard of Arlene Wuornos.

Now, I am asking you very quietly, turn the cameras off and leave. We have paid

you half your money. I did not get anything, and this is not the...

We got $1,250 from us the last time. No, listen to me. This has nothing to do

with money. This has to do with trespassing and invasion of my privacy.

I'm asking you to turn the cameras off and leave until Steve comes. This has to

do with reneging on a deal that you made. I said I would speak with you. And

a contract that you have signed. Yes, Stephen Glazer would be here. I do not

see Mr. Glazer's body anywhere on the premises. Mr. Glazer is not written into

the contract. The only time we can film you is with Mr. Glazer.

Is it? No, but it also is not on the contract that this 27th or 8th day of

June that I have to speak alone.

I said I would talk. We arranged that we would see you on Sunday.

Correct, with Mr. Glazer. Not with Mr. Glazer. That was your arrangement with

Mr. Glazer. It's nothing to do with us.

Rita, I'm asking you for the third time to turn off the cameras. We've been here

now for four weeks. Originally, we were going to see Lee the first week. Look,

legally, I have a right to tell you you're trespassing. Now, I will talk to

you with my attorney, period.

I don't like coming home from a heart... I think you're a very, very deceptive

person. Well, that's fine. And I think you've been playing games. I think you

are a trespasser. And I think you're incredibly mercenary.

And I think you've been playing around with us, and I've had enough.

Well, fine. I am asking you to please leave, and I will speak with you with

Mr. Glazier. Period.

I don't like coming home after hard days doing stuff and having cameras on me.

This has gone on forever.

A, we've paid you. I have not gotten that.

We gave you $1,250 the last time we were here. You didn't get that? It was given

to Steve Glazer who put it in your hand. We filmed us giving it to you. Now, this

is the fifth time I have counted. I am asking to turn off the cameras. You are

trespassing. Did we or did we not give you the money? I'm not speaking anymore.

Lee has finally agreed to see us and Steve is coming too to make sure we get

in.

1967 and the hits keep rolling on www spinning stacks of wax back to back

pardon me i didn't get there all

right yep

will you let me know when she is okay

hey you don't have any secret cameras in your uh belt do you no no i just have to

throw the launch one right here

Hi, how you doing?

I just got from trial.

There was no way. I mean, right after trial.

I mean, after the hearing and everything, you know.

After the hearing?

Yeah, where I was at Pasco.

Uh-huh, yeah.

It's been a struggle to actually see you. I know.

Yeah.

Is it... Did you have any problems with Arlene?

With Arlene?

Yeah. It's been a little tough going. Yeah. With Arlene.

Yeah. Okay.

Did you know that we had?

Yeah. She told me about it. Yeah.

Okay.

I said a couple of things to Ali.

I hope you got all the money and everything

that came through.

As long as they get their share and everything, that's all right. I don't

care about the money. All I care about is the crooked cops.

One of the questions I wanted to ask you was why the

money was important to you.

How much can you spend here a month?

Not very much, and the money is not.

But it seems like it might be to you people.

No, I was just wondering if... I mean, presumably most of it goes to Arlene or

Steve.

Arlene and Steve seem to be the money-hungry people, yes.

And I'm having a problem with Arlene and Steve, and I do believe that's their

purpose, their main purpose. And I do believe that's their main purpose, to

see me die.

Because I have to be honest with you. I told Arlene I thought she was very

mercenary. That's what the bottom of our argument was about. Did you pay them

more than $10,000?

No. Okay. I wanted to make sure on that too, because I don't believe them.

I have my doubts about Arlene and Steve. I believe that Arlene and Steve are... I

have a problem. I can't discuss it right now, especially on camera.

I mean... Arlene did not adopt me to be my mother. She adopted me to bury me,

and she adopted me just to visit, have easier access to visitation.

And she's doing a lot of... Steve is doing a lot of work in the media, and so

is Arlene.

And they're both really pissing me off because I think their motive was just to

make money.

Okay, and I just can't go any further than that.

I'll do it later, just before I go or something.

How much did they have to do with you changing your defense as well?

To do with you changing your... They did it. They convinced me.

They convinced, connived.

For you to not contest your... I'll give you an example, and this is what's

really pissing me off, is when...

They wanted me to plead no contest.

Steve did, and Arlene. Arlene started it, I think, and Steve just kind of fell

in. But Arlene kept conniving me, conniving me. Why don't you plead

guilty? Don't go through all these trials. I can't take it anymore, all

these trials.

She couldn't take it.

And, you know, your mother, you're killing your new adopted mom now with

these trials and stuff.

And if you don't go to the trials, the cops won't have anything for the movie.

And I found out that it didn't matter because the day that I pleaded no

contest to Marion, there was a big write-up in the front page about the

cops doing their movie anyway.

So it didn't make a difference.

I already, too late, I already said it.

So why do you think, I mean, I know... Because...

They convinced me that the cops would not be able to do their movie, have any

access to this movie, because they needed the trials to go through.

But why do you think Arlene and Steve would want you to plead guilty?

Arlene and Steve have both suggested how I could kill myself.

That's not very motherly, is it?

Well, kill yourself while you're in the...

in this institution i mean they both suggested it it's not very motherly nor

very lawyerly is it and even giving me some ideas

so that's pretty sick i know they're they're not on my side

but it's too late now all i need to do is slide through the rest of these

stupid trials pasco dixon

Dixie, find me a real good detective and a real good investigative reporter to go

out and figure out what's going on with... Find out that I'm telling the

truth and they're lying.

And find the evidence.

And once you've got evidence, I can get a new trial and I need to go to a new

trial through the Supreme Court.

And what about before all this happened?

Did you... You mean before the crimes themselves?

Yeah. I was doing fine until Tara told me, start going to see strangers and

make more money. That's how I wound up in this situation.

But you'd been working as a prostitute for a while before then, hadn't you? I

was doing real good monetarily, yeah.

I was making hand over fist of money.

I was doing real good.

The only problem that happened is when Saudi Arabia came in.

My clients started going to Desert Storm and going to the bases and training and

getting ready to go overseas and do that deal in Kuwait.

And so I lost a lot of my regulars, and Tyra told me, well, why don't you go out

there and do your strangers again like you did from the beginning when I

started hooking? And I thought, you know, I can deal with my regulars I have

now, but I only make about $100, $150 a week.

Did you feel that Tyra was into it for money as well? But Tyra wanted me to

bring in 700 or 1,000 a week. What? Did you feel Tyra was into it for money as

well?

Well, now I look at it, yes, definitely.

She was using me monetarily. So was my first lover before Tyra.

I bought her a pressure cleaning business and everything, and she took

off two months after I bought it for her. And now Steve and Arlene as well.

Everybody. It must be the economy, man.

Everybody seems like they just care about the money. They don't care about

me. Eileen Warren has killed seven people. She deserves to die.

Who gives a darn? Let's make some money and forget about her. But that's not the

point. I say it's this. The principle is self-defense.

They say it's the number.

I say it's the principle.

The heck with what?

It has nothing to do with the number kill.

It's the principle. But they're saying, if there is a number, no.

Self-defense is self-defense no matter how many times it is. I don't care if

it's a hundred times.

I never provoked those guys.

I never provoked them. I never showed any provocations whatsoever.

It was very nice, very decent, very clean.

Very ladylike. I didn't even swear in front of my clients. And a lot of my

clients, I talked about Jesus and I talked political.

Both mixed together and we never argued.

So there was no provocation whatsoever.

There was no need for them to look for the closest weapon in the vehicle and

try to use it on me to rape me.

Two did, five tried.

Are you guys ready for me? Two or three more minutes.

Two or three more minutes.

Okay. Don't want to break any more rules for you.

So what are you guys going to do? Are you going to try to investigate some of

this? Yeah, we will.

If you guys can look for the Republican Pitchers contract.

You've got it right there. If you can find it, that will set me a new trial

for Supreme Court.

The Republican Pitchers? Yeah, Republican Pitchers. That's where

they're working at. Overkill movie.

If you can find the contract, they're dead meat.

You're saying that they wanted to... The police officers appointed an attorney to

negotiate with the various movie companies after Lee was arrested.

The same attorney also represented the interests of Tyria Moore in these

discussions.

innocent. We don't care. We're going to make the public believe she's serial

killer. But anyway, that's what you said that you're going to two things you're

going to have to do. You're going to have to get the public to believe that

she's serial killer and you're going to have to get her convicted in order to

get this movie to go.

We're going to be in Ocala over the next couple of days and we're trying to ask

the police their involvement in it.

Good. And then we'll come back and see you again on Tuesday.

Great, because, see...

We

tried to contact

the police officers Lee mentioned, but they declined comment.

Our state attorney's report concluded there had been no exchange of contracts

or money between the police and Republic Pictures.

Thank you. OK.

Thank you. Take care of yourself. I hope to see you soon.

When we returned for our Tuesday meeting with Lee Wuornos, the prison informed us

we were no longer welcome.

They cited our previous security violation.

Maybe I'll look better next time. I'm getting my commissary today some mascara

and a brush.

Shortly after we left, it was discovered that Richard Mallory, Lee Wuornos' first

victim, had spent ten years in an institution for attempted rape.

Should there be an appeal, Steve Glazer will not be in charge of the case.

Several months after we left, the Hollywood movie discussions reportedly

caught up with the police.

Sergeant Munster and Captain Binegar have both been transferred out of the

Criminal Investigation Division, and here, Sheriff Mullen is announcing the

resignation of Major Dan Henry.

following the bug phone conversation he had about the Warnos movie deals.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

This is one of the most unpleasant things I've ever had to do.

And I'll read to you a release.

On November the 10th, 1992, Major Dan Henry resigned as chief of staff of the

Marion County Sheriff's Office after being notified of an investigation being

conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The investigation was requested by Sheriff Don Moreland and Sheriff-elect

Ken Ergo after information was received by the Sheriff's Office from attorney

Bill DeCarles in behalf of his client, Deputy Bruce Munster.

The investigation being conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement

centers around tape telephone conversations made by Deputy Munster

between he and Major Henry involving the Eileen Wuornos case.

There's speculation that if it is found the officers did receive money, all Lee

Warnos' death sentences could be overturned.

Sheriff's office, Carr.

Could I speak to Sheriff Morland, please?

Sir, I'm sorry, the sheriff is not in right now.

Can I take a message and have him call you back?

Superintendent Butler, please.

Oh, hello. Can I speak to Superintendent Butler, please?

Yes,

I'm trying to get hold of Tricia Jenkins, please.

Yes,

it's Nicholas Broomfield calling back for Sheriff Moreland.

Any idea when he might be back?

Is he coming back today?

I'm really not sure.

He has been given your messages, sir.

Superintendent's office.

Oh, hello. I'm calling back for Superintendent Butler.

to get up and stand up for your rights or maybe i can help you send me a

message the sound of the tone
