00:00:01,792 --> 00:00:11,632
??
2
00:00:11,709 --> 00:00:15,419
Wuornos: I wasn't born bad.
I tried to tell you, man.
3
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,290
They lied.
They lied so bad to you all.
4
00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:21,415
Reporter: You killed
seven men, seven strangers.
5
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:23,170
Does that not make you a serial killer?
6
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:25,670
Wuornos: I didn't kill them
every day, did I?
7
00:00:25,751 --> 00:00:35,631
??
8
00:00:35,709 --> 00:00:45,459
??
9
00:00:45,542 --> 00:00:47,502
Welcome to "very scary people."
10
00:00:47,584 --> 00:00:49,044
I'm Donnie wahlberg.
11
00:00:49,125 --> 00:00:52,915
Between December of 1989
and November 1990,
12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,330
Aileen Wuornos unleashed her
rage on the state of Florida,
13
00:00:57,417 --> 00:00:59,877
brutally gunning down seven victims.
14
00:00:59,959 --> 00:01:02,999
Wuornos' childhood was
the stuff of nightmares.
15
00:01:03,083 --> 00:01:05,543
Her father was a convicted sex offender.
16
00:01:05,626 --> 00:01:08,076
She was abandoned by her mother
as an infant,
17
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:10,127
and she was raised by her grandparents
18
00:01:10,209 --> 00:01:12,669
in an allegedly abusive household.
19
00:01:12,751 --> 00:01:15,131
Then at age 12, she was raped.
20
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:17,749
Wuornos said she was not born bad.
21
00:01:17,834 --> 00:01:19,834
Was this hellish start to her life
22
00:01:19,918 --> 00:01:22,998
the reason she turned into
an angry, violent killer?
23
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:26,463
How would this cold-blooded
murderer finally be stopped?
24
00:01:26,542 --> 00:01:29,462
This is part 2 of
"monster made."
25
00:01:29,542 --> 00:01:37,832
??
26
00:01:37,918 --> 00:01:40,458
Chung: How would you describe
Aileen Wuornos?
27
00:01:40,542 --> 00:01:45,792
She is probably as cold
a person is I've ever met.
28
00:01:45,876 --> 00:01:48,416
Aileen Wuornos was living in Florida.
29
00:01:50,375 --> 00:01:55,535
She was making her living as a prostitute
30
00:01:55,626 --> 00:02:02,956
on interstate exits and
entrances in central Florida.
31
00:02:03,042 --> 00:02:05,882
She was in a relationship
with tyria Moore.
32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,080
And she falls in love.
33
00:02:08,167 --> 00:02:10,787
Then in 1989, something changed.
34
00:02:10,876 --> 00:02:13,246
Something happened.
35
00:02:13,334 --> 00:02:16,584
She became a killer.
36
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:19,497
Aileen Wuornos' first victim
was Richard Mallory.
37
00:02:19,584 --> 00:02:22,214
Then David Spears and Charles carskaddon.
38
00:02:22,292 --> 00:02:23,962
- Peter siems.
- Troy burress.
39
00:02:24,042 --> 00:02:27,882
- Richard Humphreys.
- And Walter jeno Antonio.
40
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:31,129
The victims were all white
and older males.
41
00:02:31,209 --> 00:02:34,249
Reporter: Bodies were found
on rural roads near the interstate.
42
00:02:34,334 --> 00:02:35,674
She actually drove away
43
00:02:35,751 --> 00:02:37,791
every victim's vehicle
from the crime scene.
44
00:02:37,876 --> 00:02:39,746
There were also additional items taken,
45
00:02:39,834 --> 00:02:43,044
and those would be her
trophies and her souvenirs.
46
00:02:45,125 --> 00:02:48,575
It just took a long time
to link these cases together.
47
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:50,497
Jarvis: I can remember sitting
there thinking,
48
00:02:50,584 --> 00:02:52,294
"how come we're not
coming up with anything?"
49
00:02:52,375 --> 00:02:55,535
They were needing a break,
and they didn't realize
50
00:02:55,626 --> 00:02:59,826
that the break had already
happened back in July.
51
00:02:59,918 --> 00:03:01,958
Taylor: Back in July, there was
a car crash
52
00:03:02,042 --> 00:03:03,832
in orange Springs, Florida.
53
00:03:03,918 --> 00:03:07,418
That involved a car
that belonged to Peter siems.
54
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,670
Jarvis: Aileen and tyria were on
their way over to Daytona beach.
55
00:03:10,751 --> 00:03:12,751
Car goes off the side of the road.
56
00:03:12,834 --> 00:03:15,884
She told tyria that they needed
to leave immediately
57
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:20,499
because this was a dead man's car.
58
00:03:20,584 --> 00:03:23,174
Taylor: So the witnesses see
this car crash,
59
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:26,670
and two composites were generated.
60
00:03:26,751 --> 00:03:28,421
So let's put it out there.
61
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:35,130
??
62
00:03:35,209 --> 00:03:36,709
Once she made her second kill,
63
00:03:36,792 --> 00:03:40,422
her third kill, her fourth kill,
Aileen felt more confident.
64
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,250
She feels comfortable she's doing enough
65
00:03:42,334 --> 00:03:43,924
to get away with the crimes,
66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,790
but when we release the composites,
67
00:03:45,876 --> 00:03:47,166
and when we put that out there,
68
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:49,920
I believe that came
as quite a shock to her.
69
00:03:51,667 --> 00:03:54,167
When the sketches came out,
tyria freaked.
70
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,746
She saw the sketches,
71
00:04:04,834 --> 00:04:06,214
and it actually looked more like tyria
72
00:04:06,292 --> 00:04:08,382
than it did look like Aileen.
73
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,080
Tyria Moore has stated
that Aileen told her
74
00:04:24,167 --> 00:04:25,667
what she had done.
75
00:04:25,751 --> 00:04:30,331
Now, tyria says she was never
at the scenes of the killings.
76
00:04:30,417 --> 00:04:34,287
Reynolds: In a certain sense, I
think tyria was like a mafia wife.
77
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:39,665
She knew, but she didn't want
to know what was going on.
78
00:04:39,751 --> 00:04:41,421
I mean, all the evidence was there,
79
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,750
but as long as it was not
spoken out loud,
80
00:04:45,834 --> 00:04:49,174
then we'll just go along
with how things are,
81
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:51,880
and that worked okay up until the point
82
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,290
where Ty recognized herself
in a sketch along with Lee,
83
00:04:58,375 --> 00:05:01,245
and that was one step too far.
84
00:05:03,834 --> 00:05:05,924
And that's when they split up.
85
00:05:12,918 --> 00:05:16,128
So tyria went back up north
where she had family.
86
00:05:16,209 --> 00:05:19,749
And now, Aileen is without
the love of her life
87
00:05:19,834 --> 00:05:24,384
to run on her own,
but the noose is getting closer.
88
00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:27,039
Reporter: Police are looking for
these two women for questioning.
89
00:05:27,125 --> 00:05:30,575
Kassewitz: Meanwhile, those
sketches are bringing in hundreds of tips,
90
00:05:30,667 --> 00:05:35,127
- hundreds of phone calls.
- The tips that came in,
91
00:05:35,209 --> 00:05:39,829
in this investigation begin
to focus over in Daytona,
92
00:05:39,918 --> 00:05:42,668
and knowing that we had
a list of property
93
00:05:42,751 --> 00:05:45,581
from these victims that was missing,
94
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:50,167
we then began a very intensive
effort to visit pawn shops
95
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:53,460
to see if we could identify
any of these items
96
00:05:53,542 --> 00:05:54,962
that could've been pawned,
97
00:05:55,042 --> 00:05:57,132
and it was during that investigation
98
00:05:57,209 --> 00:06:00,249
that some items had been
located at a pawn shop.
99
00:06:00,334 --> 00:06:03,504
There was a radar detector and a camera
100
00:06:03,584 --> 00:06:08,884
that had been stolen out of
Richard Mallory's vehicle
101
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:14,919
- when he was murdered.
- And they find a pawn ticket
102
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,920
for Richard Mallory's
radar detector and his camera,
103
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,380
and there's a thumbprint.
104
00:06:21,459 --> 00:06:24,249
Taylor: Florida, back then,
had just passed a law
105
00:06:24,334 --> 00:06:26,754
as to where any pawn transaction
106
00:06:26,834 --> 00:06:31,424
had to bear a fingerprint of the
person making the transaction.
107
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,000
So there was a thumbprint
and the name cammie Greene,
108
00:06:35,083 --> 00:06:36,633
that they thought this was an alias
109
00:06:36,709 --> 00:06:39,919
and wanted to see if they could
find out the actual name.
110
00:06:41,792 --> 00:06:45,002
On December 21, 1990,
111
00:06:45,083 --> 00:06:47,383
investigators came to
the Florida department
112
00:06:47,459 --> 00:06:49,289
of law enforcement crime lab.
113
00:06:49,375 --> 00:06:51,625
We had run it through
the automated fingerprint
114
00:06:51,709 --> 00:06:55,289
identification system,
and we did not make a match.
115
00:06:55,375 --> 00:06:57,915
So I had told the investigators
116
00:06:58,042 --> 00:07:00,252
that we could do a manual search,
117
00:07:00,334 --> 00:07:05,674
looking at cards one by one by
one to see if we could find her.
118
00:07:05,751 --> 00:07:10,671
It's like a one in a billion
chances, but we would try.
119
00:07:10,751 --> 00:07:13,751
We were thinking we were going
to have to physically look
120
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:18,964
at every single thumbprint
on every single card.
121
00:07:19,042 --> 00:07:23,132
I took out one stack and started
flipping through it,
122
00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:28,829
and in less than 15 minutes,
we identified her.
123
00:07:28,918 --> 00:07:31,038
We were screaming and hollering
and jumping up and down
124
00:07:31,125 --> 00:07:34,455
because we still could not
believe we had done this.
125
00:07:34,542 --> 00:07:37,132
Then the investigators
were able to pull a mug shot,
126
00:07:37,209 --> 00:07:40,579
and then they had a face
to go with the name,
127
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:44,877
but the problem was, they
didn't know where she was.
128
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:46,419
They had her in sight.
129
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,290
All of a sudden, she would
hitting me with a pool stick
130
00:07:49,375 --> 00:07:51,455
and just go off.
131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,380
Taylor: Once the name of Aileen
Carol Wuornos was laid on our plate
132
00:08:03,459 --> 00:08:07,749
and leads that she was spending
her time in Daytona,
133
00:08:07,834 --> 00:08:11,004
that's where our investigative
efforts were shifted.
134
00:08:11,083 --> 00:08:14,633
Jarvis: So what we did is, we
took as many undercover officers
135
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:17,129
as we could get together
from all the different agencies
136
00:08:17,209 --> 00:08:20,789
around central Florida
and went over to Daytona beach
137
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:24,576
and saturated the locations
we felt they might hang out at.
138
00:08:24,667 --> 00:08:28,667
Damore: We would actually
literally go from bar to bar to bar
139
00:08:28,751 --> 00:08:31,081
to see if we could visually identify her.
140
00:08:31,167 --> 00:08:33,997
One of the investigators
from citrus county
141
00:08:34,083 --> 00:08:40,043
- pretty quickly ran into Aileen.
- They had her in sight.
142
00:08:40,125 --> 00:08:45,825
They sent in two undercover cops
who worked mainly drug cases,
143
00:08:45,918 --> 00:08:51,168
who looked like bikers
and bought her beers
144
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:53,540
and hung out with her.
145
00:08:53,626 --> 00:08:55,206
I guess the best way to describe her...
146
00:08:55,292 --> 00:08:57,542
She kind of, like,
had a split personality.
147
00:08:57,626 --> 00:08:58,996
She'd be fine.
148
00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:02,383
We'd be shooting pool,
drinking beer, and laughing,
149
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:04,499
having a good time, and all of a sudden,
150
00:09:04,584 --> 00:09:09,334
she would hit me with a pool
stick and just go off.
151
00:09:09,417 --> 00:09:10,997
And you'd ask her,
"why'd you do that?"
152
00:09:11,083 --> 00:09:15,673
And she'd say,
"hell, I don't know."
153
00:09:15,751 --> 00:09:17,751
Jarvis: He wasn't asking her
about murders or anything.
154
00:09:17,834 --> 00:09:19,334
He was playing pool with her.
155
00:09:19,417 --> 00:09:22,287
He was buying her cigarettes
and just trying to get her
156
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:24,205
to let her guard down a little bit
157
00:09:24,292 --> 00:09:27,792
and stall her long enough for us
to put a plan together
158
00:09:27,876 --> 00:09:30,246
to be able to take her into custody.
159
00:09:30,334 --> 00:09:32,794
Taylor: There was a lot of
intense discussion
160
00:09:32,876 --> 00:09:35,536
between law enforcement and prosecutors.
161
00:09:35,626 --> 00:09:39,376
Cops want to get her off
the street. They've ID'd her.
162
00:09:39,459 --> 00:09:43,669
They're pretty damn
sure that she's the perpetrator,
163
00:09:43,751 --> 00:09:47,881
but the prosecution wants
a nice, successful prosecution,
164
00:09:47,959 --> 00:09:51,169
and they don't feel like
they have the evidence for it.
165
00:09:51,250 --> 00:09:54,210
At that point, we had
a lot of uncertainties.
166
00:09:54,292 --> 00:09:56,332
But we were up against a fear that
167
00:09:56,417 --> 00:09:58,457
if we didn't stay on top of her,
168
00:09:58,542 --> 00:10:01,962
and she got loose that
we'd have another dead body.
169
00:10:02,042 --> 00:10:03,832
We'd have to do something.
170
00:10:03,918 --> 00:10:07,038
Reynolds: There's not much
evidence, so how do you get this person
171
00:10:07,125 --> 00:10:10,285
off the street before they kill again?
172
00:10:12,918 --> 00:10:15,668
Taylor: So a decision was made
that night to go ahead
173
00:10:15,751 --> 00:10:20,171
and arrest her on
the outstanding weapons charge.
174
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:22,710
Jarvis: We didn't know where
she kept the gun.
175
00:10:22,792 --> 00:10:24,132
We didn't know how she'd react.
176
00:10:24,209 --> 00:10:26,289
We didn't know what she'd do.
177
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:29,665
The plan was to have Mike
walk her out front
178
00:10:29,751 --> 00:10:33,461
to have a cigarette,
and that's what we did.
179
00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:37,832
So they walk out of the bar
towards his truck.
180
00:10:37,918 --> 00:10:41,378
Cops come up.
They arrest him and her.
181
00:10:41,459 --> 00:10:42,919
Officer:
What's your name, pal?
182
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,670
Damore: Our desire was to put
her in a safe place
183
00:10:46,751 --> 00:10:48,881
and not risk someone else being murdered.
184
00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:52,129
Jarvis: But when we took Aileen
into custody,
185
00:10:52,209 --> 00:10:55,379
we did not have
a prosecutable case at the time.
186
00:10:55,459 --> 00:10:59,459
They don't have any chance at
all, had very little evidence,
187
00:10:59,542 --> 00:11:02,292
and they had no direct witnesses.
188
00:11:02,375 --> 00:11:06,625
Jarvis: What happened at this
point is, we needed a miracle,
189
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:10,579
and that miracle came
in the form of tyria Moore.
190
00:11:18,167 --> 00:11:19,537
Reporter: Lee, it sounds like
you've been betrayed by everyone.
191
00:11:19,626 --> 00:11:20,956
That's right.
I was.
192
00:11:21,042 --> 00:11:22,792
I was... that's why I don't care
193
00:11:22,876 --> 00:11:25,786
if I'm executed and leave this planet.
194
00:11:27,626 --> 00:11:30,786
Kassewitz: Aileen is now in jail,
but they still don't have a case.
195
00:11:30,876 --> 00:11:34,456
The only way they can get her
is by a confession,
196
00:11:34,542 --> 00:11:36,882
and they believe the only way
they can get that confession
197
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:39,459
is to put pressure on tyria Moore.
198
00:11:39,542 --> 00:11:42,002
Taylor:
Tyria and Lee had parted ways.
199
00:11:42,083 --> 00:11:45,793
Tyria had left and went to Pennsylvania
200
00:11:45,876 --> 00:11:50,286
to be with family and friends,
and when Lee was arrested,
201
00:11:50,375 --> 00:11:55,455
a very concerted effort was made
to locate tyria Moore.
202
00:11:55,542 --> 00:11:58,252
Kassewitz: They realized that
this is the love of Aileen's life,
203
00:11:58,334 --> 00:12:01,384
and they can use this
as a pressure point.
204
00:12:01,459 --> 00:12:04,879
We were able to locate tyria up north.
205
00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:09,079
Reynolds: The investigators
came up with a plan in which tyria
206
00:12:09,167 --> 00:12:13,207
was convinced that it would be
in her best interest
207
00:12:13,292 --> 00:12:15,132
to cooperate.
208
00:12:15,209 --> 00:12:16,829
Damore: The way we enlisted
Ty Moore's help
209
00:12:16,918 --> 00:12:19,918
was to suggest the possibility
that she could be arrested
210
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,790
as an accessory after the fact
for these homicides.
211
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:28,876
Trenkmann: They said, "if you agree
to get a confession from Wuornos,
212
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:30,249
you won't face prosecution."
213
00:12:30,334 --> 00:12:35,174
And she flipped immediately on Lee.
214
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:38,880
She willingly agreed to come
back to the state of Florida
215
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:41,419
to cooperate in this investigation.
216
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:44,880
She's actually housed
in a motel in Daytona
217
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:47,789
under the watchful eye of detectives.
218
00:12:47,876 --> 00:12:50,786
She sent a note to Aileen
in the volusia county jail
219
00:12:50,876 --> 00:12:53,206
and said, "hey.
I'm here in Daytona."
220
00:12:53,292 --> 00:12:54,632
The police are asking questions.
221
00:12:54,709 --> 00:12:57,669
"Call me," and we had
a recorded line set up,
222
00:12:57,751 --> 00:13:00,751
and we recorded somewhere
around 13 or 14 phone calls
223
00:13:00,834 --> 00:13:02,384
between the girls.
224
00:13:02,459 --> 00:13:04,789
[Telephone rings]
225
00:13:10,375 --> 00:13:13,455
Taylor: We wanted
incriminating statements,
226
00:13:13,542 --> 00:13:17,962
declarations made by Lee Wuornos
to tyria that we could record.
227
00:13:18,042 --> 00:13:20,582
We actually had questions
that were scripted out
228
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:24,747
that we wanted tyria
to communicate to Lee Wuornos,
229
00:13:24,834 --> 00:13:26,924
which she did.
230
00:14:00,876 --> 00:14:07,496
There is a lengthy tear-filled,
sobbing conversation
231
00:14:07,584 --> 00:14:12,834
in which Ty is imploring Lee
to do the right thing.
232
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:16,038
And Aileen kept telling her,
"I will protect you.
233
00:14:16,125 --> 00:14:17,625
I will protect you."
234
00:14:17,709 --> 00:14:19,789
She loved Ty with all of her heart.
235
00:14:24,292 --> 00:14:25,962
Reynolds:
It was emotional.
236
00:14:26,042 --> 00:14:29,502
In a way, it was just heartbreaking.
237
00:14:29,584 --> 00:14:32,964
Jarvis: Aileen cared for this
girl. She cared a lot about her.
238
00:14:33,042 --> 00:14:35,132
She wanted to protect her.
239
00:14:42,250 --> 00:14:45,880
Trenkmann: Maybe the only time
she really found any solace in life
240
00:14:45,959 --> 00:14:48,329
was with this relationship
with tyria Moore,
241
00:14:48,417 --> 00:14:52,537
and sadly, it was used
against her at the end.
242
00:15:15,792 --> 00:15:18,502
And it was at that point,
the "wow" moment...
243
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,584
We knew we had the right person.
244
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:22,747
Everything was now coming together.
245
00:15:43,459 --> 00:15:50,169
Damore: Aileen surprised me in
her desire to protect Ty Moore
246
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:55,710
because you saw some humanity in her
247
00:15:55,792 --> 00:15:58,792
in that attempt to protect her lover.
248
00:15:58,876 --> 00:16:01,576
Aileen was a terrible person.
She was a horrible person.
249
00:16:01,667 --> 00:16:02,917
She was a bad person.
250
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,250
She was rotten from within her core,
251
00:16:05,334 --> 00:16:07,294
but even maybe in the most rotten,
252
00:16:07,375 --> 00:16:11,825
there are moments where there is
some humanity left
253
00:16:11,918 --> 00:16:14,748
in that person's soul.
254
00:16:14,834 --> 00:16:18,334
Jarvis: When Aileen finished
talking to tyria,
255
00:16:18,417 --> 00:16:20,957
she contacted one of
the correction officers
256
00:16:21,042 --> 00:16:22,712
a the volusia county jail,
257
00:16:22,792 --> 00:16:26,382
and she told the officer,
"I want to talk to the police."
258
00:16:31,334 --> 00:16:33,714
She didn't come across as a monster
259
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:35,962
or a killer during these conversations.
260
00:16:36,042 --> 00:16:38,002
It was just like you're talking
to a normal person.
261
00:16:38,083 --> 00:16:41,883
It ended up helping
to lead to her downfall.
262
00:16:52,042 --> 00:16:53,672
Welcome back to
"very scary people."
263
00:16:53,751 --> 00:16:57,791
When investigators arrested
Aileen Wuornos in January 1991,
264
00:16:57,876 --> 00:16:59,666
they were certain she was the person
265
00:16:59,751 --> 00:17:02,671
who had killed at least
seven men across Florida.
266
00:17:02,751 --> 00:17:05,041
Detectives had convinced
her girlfriend, tyria Moore,
267
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:07,325
to help them,
but they didn't have the proof
268
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:11,037
they needed to charge her
with the murders yet.
269
00:17:11,125 --> 00:17:17,625
??
270
00:17:17,709 --> 00:17:25,079
Taylor: After that telephone
call, on January the 16th,
271
00:17:25,167 --> 00:17:29,037
Lee Wuornos tells corrections officers,
272
00:17:29,125 --> 00:17:31,705
"I need to speak
with the detectives."
273
00:17:44,584 --> 00:17:46,924
When Aileen came into the interview,
274
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,580
I think her main goal at that point
275
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:52,957
was to make sure she let us know
that tyria wasn't involved.
276
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:16,379
They didn't have a case
until they had the confession,
277
00:18:16,459 --> 00:18:21,789
and she had just basically
committed suicide to save tyria.
278
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:32,750
The love that she had for tyria
was so intense and was so deep
279
00:18:32,834 --> 00:18:35,584
that she was going to confess
to all seven murders
280
00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:40,877
and to basically eliminate
any accusations
281
00:18:40,959 --> 00:18:43,039
that could be focused on tyria.
282
00:18:50,959 --> 00:18:53,999
Jarvis: But she's going to be the
victim when she gives the confession,
283
00:18:54,083 --> 00:18:57,423
so in her mind, "I'm a good person.
284
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:59,790
I'm confessing,
but I had to do it."
285
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:17,957
She insisted during her confession
286
00:19:18,042 --> 00:19:22,792
that everything she did
was to defend herself.
287
00:19:22,876 --> 00:19:26,416
Tanner: She thought they were
going to attack her,
288
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:30,290
or she felt threatened,
and that's why she shot them.
289
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,290
She was claiming that in
each case, she was the victim.
290
00:19:47,375 --> 00:19:48,955
She was picked up for sex.
291
00:19:49,042 --> 00:19:50,792
They were getting rough
with her, you know, that she
292
00:19:50,876 --> 00:19:52,956
was in fear of her life,
and she had to kill them.
293
00:20:03,751 --> 00:20:07,461
As time went on, she changed
it to... she robbed them.
294
00:20:07,542 --> 00:20:09,832
She wanted to kill them,
so they couldn't identify her.
295
00:20:09,918 --> 00:20:12,998
So trying to get something
from her perspective
296
00:20:13,083 --> 00:20:17,003
was kind of difficult at times
because it changed so much.
297
00:20:55,375 --> 00:20:59,165
Aileen stuck with the idea or excuse
298
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:02,750
that all of her victims raped
or attempted to rape her,
299
00:21:02,834 --> 00:21:05,924
even though circumstances
didn't hold up with that.
300
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,380
Jarvis: When we look at the
evidence, it doesn't support that.
301
00:21:09,459 --> 00:21:13,579
Take, for example, the case
involving Mr. Humphreys.
302
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:16,377
She claimed that she was
defending herself...
303
00:21:19,792 --> 00:21:22,382
...but the injuries that he had
304
00:21:22,459 --> 00:21:24,419
were not consistent with that confession.
305
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:28,080
The locations of the shots
were indicative
306
00:21:28,167 --> 00:21:30,377
of a defensive position.
307
00:21:30,459 --> 00:21:33,749
The first shot went through his
right wrist
308
00:21:33,834 --> 00:21:35,464
as if he had his arms up.
309
00:21:35,542 --> 00:21:38,382
The second shot was
in the right side of his torso,
310
00:21:38,459 --> 00:21:41,379
which would mean he was starting
to turn to run away.
311
00:21:41,459 --> 00:21:44,579
The next shot was
to the back of the head.
312
00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:48,417
When he fell down, the gun
was put right up to his body,
313
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:51,330
and we had a close contact wound
to the chest.
314
00:21:51,417 --> 00:21:55,917
So those things were indicative
of this predator
315
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,920
going after him.
316
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,080
Reynolds: Lee didn't think
any of that thing through,
317
00:22:00,167 --> 00:22:03,037
and it didn't matter.
She had made up her mind.
318
00:22:03,125 --> 00:22:05,205
That was her story,
and she going to stick with it.
319
00:22:18,083 --> 00:22:21,583
When you think of this monster
or this killer,
320
00:22:21,667 --> 00:22:24,537
she didn't come across
as a monster or a killer
321
00:22:24,626 --> 00:22:26,076
during these conversations.
322
00:22:26,167 --> 00:22:28,667
It was just like you're talking
to a normal person.
323
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,330
I mean, to think that this
person just killed seven people,
324
00:22:45,417 --> 00:22:48,707
and she's sitting here talking
back and forth with detectives,
325
00:22:48,792 --> 00:22:51,042
just like a run-of-the-mill
conversation...
326
00:22:54,834 --> 00:22:56,924
We take great pleasure in announcing
327
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:02,502
to the successful conclusion of
a 13-month-long investigation.
328
00:23:02,584 --> 00:23:05,634
The persons charged in the homicides
329
00:23:05,709 --> 00:23:10,419
is identified as Aileen Carol Wuornos.
330
00:23:15,459 --> 00:23:17,129
Jarvis:
Based on that confession...
331
00:23:17,209 --> 00:23:21,329
We were able to recover the gun
where she had discarded it,
332
00:23:23,959 --> 00:23:26,669
...and we recovered
a small briefcase
333
00:23:26,751 --> 00:23:28,881
that Aileen carried around with her.
334
00:23:28,959 --> 00:23:31,169
When we searched this, we found a receipt
335
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:33,920
for a mini warehouse in Daytona beach.
336
00:23:37,292 --> 00:23:39,252
That really was the coup de grace.
337
00:23:39,334 --> 00:23:43,584
Jarvis: We recovered her souvenirs
from six of the seven victims.
338
00:23:43,667 --> 00:23:44,957
That's important evidence
339
00:23:45,042 --> 00:23:48,712
because it links
her directly to their murder.
340
00:23:48,792 --> 00:23:52,382
It ended up helping to lead
to her downfall.
341
00:23:52,459 --> 00:23:54,629
Jarvis: And now, we started
putting these things together,
342
00:23:54,709 --> 00:23:57,539
and as you look
at the cumulative effect of it,
343
00:23:57,626 --> 00:24:00,876
you have a prosecutable case.
344
00:24:00,959 --> 00:24:04,459
He said, "you're going to do
everything I tell you to do.
345
00:24:04,542 --> 00:24:06,542
If you don't,
I'll kill you right now."
346
00:24:06,626 --> 00:24:08,916
Ripped a cord around me neck.
347
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,630
Aileen Wuornos claims that she
was brutally raped by him
348
00:24:12,709 --> 00:24:14,789
and when given the chance to break free
349
00:24:14,876 --> 00:24:16,076
had shot him to death.
350
00:24:16,167 --> 00:24:19,247
There is the possibility
she's telling the truth.
351
00:24:26,292 --> 00:24:28,382
This man was shot just...
Just shot in self-defense.
352
00:24:28,459 --> 00:24:30,289
Boom, boom, boom.
You know, they weren't cut up.
353
00:24:30,375 --> 00:24:32,825
They weren't sliced up,
no o.J. Jazz, you know?
354
00:24:32,918 --> 00:24:35,538
All they were was shot and left.
355
00:24:35,626 --> 00:24:38,286
If it was a horrendous crime,
why didn't I shoot them between
356
00:24:38,375 --> 00:24:40,785
the eyes, cut their penis off,
stick it in their mouth,
357
00:24:40,876 --> 00:24:43,626
you know, do all kinds of gross stuff?
358
00:24:43,709 --> 00:24:46,379
All they were was shot and left.
359
00:24:51,542 --> 00:24:53,712
Trenkmann: Once it became clear
that Aileen Wuornos
360
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:56,002
was the one responsible
for multiple murders
361
00:24:56,083 --> 00:25:00,713
and that Florida had a female
serial killer on its hands,
362
00:25:00,792 --> 00:25:02,752
the media coverage exploded...
363
00:25:02,834 --> 00:25:06,004
Reporter: Aileen Wuornos faces
five murder charges.
364
00:25:06,083 --> 00:25:08,673
...in part because
it's so very rare.
365
00:25:08,751 --> 00:25:12,671
There are very few female
serial killers in general
366
00:25:12,751 --> 00:25:16,791
and even fewer who commit their
crimes in this brutal fashion.
367
00:25:16,876 --> 00:25:18,496
Just hear you say...
Do you... are you trying...
368
00:25:18,584 --> 00:25:20,044
Are you telling me I can't have
369
00:25:20,125 --> 00:25:21,535
- these lawyers to protect me?
- No, ma'am.
370
00:25:21,626 --> 00:25:23,286
Damore: You know, you had
the perfect storm.
371
00:25:23,375 --> 00:25:27,955
You had death, you had sex,
money in the form of robberies.
372
00:25:28,042 --> 00:25:30,672
So, I mean, what else do you
need to make a story?
373
00:25:30,751 --> 00:25:33,041
I'm in fear for my life
in the volusia county jail,
374
00:25:33,125 --> 00:25:36,665
and I'm tired of them...
Trying to kill me there.
375
00:25:39,709 --> 00:25:45,039
Aileen Wuornos' trial was
exceptional in several matters.
376
00:25:45,125 --> 00:25:47,325
Trenkmann: There was a woman,
Arlene pralle.
377
00:25:47,417 --> 00:25:49,997
She was a Christian who believed
that it was her mission
378
00:25:50,083 --> 00:25:52,753
to help this woman in her time of need.
379
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:55,044
I want them to treat her like
she's innocent
380
00:25:55,125 --> 00:25:57,575
until she's proven guilty.
That's what I want.
381
00:25:57,667 --> 00:26:00,287
I want them to treat her
like a human being.
382
00:26:00,375 --> 00:26:01,995
Kassewitz: One of the things
Arlene pralle does is
383
00:26:02,083 --> 00:26:05,793
she legally adopts Aileen
so that she has some connection
384
00:26:05,876 --> 00:26:07,576
that the court has to respect.
385
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:09,707
Reporter: Wuornos
occasionally smiled and glanced
386
00:26:09,792 --> 00:26:12,212
to the back of the room,
mouthing the words,
387
00:26:12,292 --> 00:26:15,922
"I love you," to her adoptive
mother, Arlene pralle.
388
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,880
And this was just part of the insanity.
389
00:26:17,959 --> 00:26:19,459
You know, Aileen is 34 years old,
390
00:26:19,542 --> 00:26:21,632
and now, she's being adopted.
391
00:26:23,584 --> 00:26:25,424
Reporter: Aileen Wuornos showed
little emotion
392
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,000
as she was led into the courthouse
393
00:26:27,083 --> 00:26:30,963
in deland, Florida,
as jury selection began Monday.
394
00:26:31,042 --> 00:26:35,422
Jarvis: The first case brought
against Aileen Wuornos for murder
395
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:39,290
was the death of Richard Mallory.
396
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:42,575
Attorney:
She killed him out of greed.
397
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:48,537
She was no longer satisfied
with $10 or $20 or $40.
398
00:26:48,626 --> 00:26:50,036
She wanted it all.
399
00:26:50,125 --> 00:26:52,825
Singhal: You had a mountain
of evidence against her
400
00:26:52,918 --> 00:26:56,748
because you did have the police
work that was involved.
401
00:26:56,834 --> 00:26:58,334
You had the confessions.
402
00:26:58,417 --> 00:27:00,627
You had the woman she was
in a relationship
403
00:27:00,709 --> 00:27:03,499
with who became a state's witness.
404
00:27:08,375 --> 00:27:09,745
Reporter:
Wuornos alternately laughed
405
00:27:09,834 --> 00:27:11,674
and wept as the tapes of her conversation
406
00:27:11,751 --> 00:27:14,921
with her former girlfriend,
tyria Moore, were made public.
407
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,330
Kassewitz: But one of the most
devastating parts of the trial
408
00:27:23,417 --> 00:27:27,497
is when prosecution
brings in tyria Moore.
409
00:27:27,584 --> 00:27:29,924
Tyria wouldn't even look
at Aileen, but it...
410
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,040
You could tell just by watching Aileen,
411
00:27:32,125 --> 00:27:34,745
it was breaking her heart.
412
00:27:34,834 --> 00:27:40,634
Time after time after time,
she was raped.
413
00:27:40,709 --> 00:27:45,919
Time after time after time,
she was beaten up.
414
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,630
Finally, she armed herself.
415
00:27:50,709 --> 00:27:53,749
Trenkmann: Aileen Wuornos claims
that she wasn't driven
416
00:27:53,834 --> 00:27:56,334
to kill Richard Mallory.
417
00:27:56,417 --> 00:27:59,037
She claims that she was
brutally raped by him,
418
00:27:59,125 --> 00:28:02,495
and when given the chance
to break free of that incident,
419
00:28:02,584 --> 00:28:04,044
she shot him to death.
420
00:28:04,125 --> 00:28:07,535
She defended herself.
421
00:28:07,626 --> 00:28:09,326
Damore: When the defense made
the decision
422
00:28:09,417 --> 00:28:12,537
to call Aileen Wuornos to testify,
423
00:28:12,626 --> 00:28:14,496
it was electric in the courtroom.
424
00:28:14,584 --> 00:28:16,044
Gee, I'm going to tell you right now.
425
00:28:16,125 --> 00:28:20,455
I'm really nervous, and I'm
really getting pretty shy
426
00:28:20,542 --> 00:28:22,462
and embarrassed, and this is hard for me,
427
00:28:22,542 --> 00:28:26,042
so just bear with me.
428
00:28:26,125 --> 00:28:28,375
Damore:
Aileen Wuornos' testimony was
429
00:28:28,459 --> 00:28:30,499
effectively...
They were going to engage in sex
430
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:34,294
but that he immediately
became very violent.
431
00:28:34,375 --> 00:28:36,875
I saw him coming toward me,
432
00:28:36,959 --> 00:28:40,789
and just I was going to turn
to look at him,
433
00:28:40,876 --> 00:28:43,036
and before I even got a chance
to turn and look at him,
434
00:28:43,125 --> 00:28:45,705
he ripped a cord around my neck.
435
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:53,882
He said, "you're going to do
everything I tell you to do..."
436
00:28:55,792 --> 00:28:59,502
"...and if you don't,
I'll kill you right now,"
437
00:28:59,584 --> 00:29:04,424
and I said, "don't come out.
Don't come near me. I'll shoot."
438
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,420
I'll have to shoot you again,"
or something like that.
439
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:09,460
"Don't make me have to shoot you
again," or something like that.
440
00:29:09,542 --> 00:29:13,252
He just started coming at me, and I shot.
441
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:15,834
And I don't know
where I shot him, I just shot,
442
00:29:15,918 --> 00:29:19,828
and he fell on the ground.
443
00:29:19,918 --> 00:29:22,788
Kassewitz: There is the
possibility she's telling the truth.
444
00:29:22,876 --> 00:29:26,496
After trial, we find out
this amazing information
445
00:29:26,584 --> 00:29:28,044
about Richard Mallory.
446
00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:31,075
Jarvis: Mallory had been
convicted of a burglary
447
00:29:31,167 --> 00:29:34,827
with intent to commit sexual assault,
448
00:29:34,918 --> 00:29:38,248
and it was deemed
a psychological problem.
449
00:29:38,334 --> 00:29:41,004
He went into some type
of mental institute
450
00:29:41,083 --> 00:29:44,213
and served some time there,
so there was some speculation
451
00:29:44,292 --> 00:29:48,042
that maybe he did get violent with her.
452
00:29:48,125 --> 00:29:51,245
I think it's possible,
and I think it's possible
453
00:29:51,334 --> 00:29:56,674
that this was a trigger
for the subsequent events.
454
00:29:56,751 --> 00:29:59,751
Jarvis: Maybe Mr. Mallory
did get rough with her,
455
00:29:59,834 --> 00:30:01,964
and she retaliated.
456
00:30:02,042 --> 00:30:04,002
Maybe she was trying to kill
Richard Mallory
457
00:30:04,083 --> 00:30:06,383
again and again,
458
00:30:06,459 --> 00:30:09,129
and this is where the profile comes in
459
00:30:09,209 --> 00:30:13,789
where the men were similar age, race.
460
00:30:13,876 --> 00:30:15,916
So it might be an internal mechanism
461
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,080
that Aileen has where she's
lashing out to kill these men.
462
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:25,290
Was her story believable?
463
00:30:25,375 --> 00:30:30,915
It wasn't unbelievable if you
separated it out by itself,
464
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,670
but there was no evidence to
support Aileen Wuornos' claim.
465
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:38,631
In fact, when tyria Moore testified,
466
00:30:38,709 --> 00:30:40,959
she saw no injuries whatsoever
467
00:30:41,042 --> 00:30:44,042
when Aileen Wuornos
came back to their hotel
468
00:30:44,125 --> 00:30:45,995
with Richard Mallory's car.
469
00:30:46,083 --> 00:30:49,633
Did she ever advise you
that the man she had shot
470
00:30:49,709 --> 00:30:54,459
- had done anything to her?
- No. She didn't.
471
00:30:54,542 --> 00:30:58,082
Reporter: The seven women and
five men deliberated for 91 minutes,
472
00:30:58,167 --> 00:31:01,247
and then returned a verdict
everyone expected...
473
00:31:01,334 --> 00:31:03,294
Everyone except Aileen Wuornos.
474
00:31:03,375 --> 00:31:07,785
Woman: The state of Florida
versus Aileen Carol Wuornos.
475
00:31:07,876 --> 00:31:09,626
We, the jury, find the defendant,
476
00:31:09,709 --> 00:31:11,079
Aileen Carol Wuornos,
477
00:31:11,167 --> 00:31:15,787
guilty of first degree
premeditated murder.
478
00:31:15,876 --> 00:31:18,536
Jarvis: When she was
found guilty, she was shocked.
479
00:31:18,626 --> 00:31:21,246
She never thought she'd be found guilty.
480
00:31:21,334 --> 00:31:26,924
Lee went off on that jury,
and she didn't give a damn,
481
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
- and she just vented.
- She turns around.
482
00:31:32,083 --> 00:31:34,173
Her eyes are wild, says...
483
00:31:55,667 --> 00:31:59,167
I think there was the violent
Aileen who did the murders,
484
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,750
I think there was
the child-of-rage Aileen,
485
00:32:01,834 --> 00:32:04,044
and I think there was the lover of tyria.
486
00:32:04,125 --> 00:32:09,165
I think when she was found
guilty, the raging came out,
487
00:32:09,250 --> 00:32:11,210
and you could see it in her eyes.
488
00:32:11,292 --> 00:32:13,462
Only manson scared me more.
489
00:32:16,542 --> 00:32:19,542
I have been labeled a serial killer,
490
00:32:19,626 --> 00:32:21,826
and I am no serial killer.
491
00:32:21,918 --> 00:32:24,208
What I was, was a prostitute.
492
00:32:24,292 --> 00:32:25,962
I was not out there to hurt anyone.
493
00:32:26,042 --> 00:32:29,922
I didn't... had no intentions
of hurting anyone.
494
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,380
What I did was what
anybody else would do.
495
00:32:33,459 --> 00:32:37,079
I defended myself,
which everybody has the right
496
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:38,917
to defend themselves.
497
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,210
The jury voted 12 to zero
for the death penalty.
498
00:32:43,292 --> 00:32:44,792
Until by warrant of the governor
499
00:32:44,876 --> 00:32:48,076
of the state of Florida,
you, Aileen Carol Wuornos,
500
00:32:48,167 --> 00:32:51,127
be electrocuted until you are dead.
501
00:32:53,792 --> 00:32:56,752
Coming up, america's first
female serial killer.
502
00:32:56,834 --> 00:32:59,504
In just about 13 hours,
she's scheduled to die.
503
00:32:59,584 --> 00:33:02,254
Trenkmann: I was among the
journalists who was chosen to go in.
504
00:33:02,334 --> 00:33:04,084
Wuornos gave a statement that people
505
00:33:04,167 --> 00:33:07,167
are still trying
to figure out to this day.
506
00:33:13,375 --> 00:33:15,625
- Maybe you were just born bad.
- Boy, I don't know about you.
507
00:33:15,709 --> 00:33:19,249
I'm telling you, man.
No. I wasn't born bad.
508
00:33:19,334 --> 00:33:21,294
You guys got it... see?
I'm trying to tell you, man.
509
00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:24,575
They lie.
They lied so bad to you all.
510
00:33:24,667 --> 00:33:26,167
- You killed seven men...
- Why look at the number?
511
00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:27,420
Reporter:
...Seven strangers.
512
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:29,040
Does that not make you a serial killer?
513
00:33:29,125 --> 00:33:31,205
See, I didn't kill them every day, did I?
514
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Damore: After Ms. Wuornos
was tried and convicted
515
00:33:35,083 --> 00:33:37,543
by a jury of murder
and sentenced to death,
516
00:33:37,626 --> 00:33:41,956
she, through her counsel,
decided to enter pleas of guilty
517
00:33:42,042 --> 00:33:45,292
to the remaining five homicides
that she was charged with.
518
00:33:45,375 --> 00:33:46,785
I do not want a trial.
519
00:33:46,876 --> 00:33:50,326
I don't know that she wanted
to sit in the courtroom
520
00:33:50,417 --> 00:33:52,877
in front of different sets of jurors
521
00:33:52,959 --> 00:33:56,079
and hear them find her guilty
and then sentence her to death.
522
00:33:56,167 --> 00:34:00,457
I think in her mind, she was
speeding up the process.
523
00:34:00,542 --> 00:34:02,252
It was an inevitable conclusion
524
00:34:02,334 --> 00:34:04,134
that she was just bringing forward.
525
00:34:04,209 --> 00:34:06,579
Damore: She was sentenced
to death for each of the crimes
526
00:34:06,667 --> 00:34:08,127
that she had committed and admitted to.
527
00:34:08,209 --> 00:34:10,919
And it just added to more death sentences
528
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,460
on top of death sentences for Wuornos
529
00:34:13,542 --> 00:34:15,422
to the point where she ended up with six
530
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:17,130
before it was all said and done.
531
00:34:17,209 --> 00:34:19,419
When the judge passed sentence,
she started cursing them out
532
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:23,170
and giving them the finger,
and she was just out of control.
533
00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:25,830
I hope your wife and kids get raped.
534
00:34:25,918 --> 00:34:31,828
??
535
00:34:31,918 --> 00:34:36,748
There's no sense in having me tormented
536
00:34:36,834 --> 00:34:38,544
for the rest of my life
537
00:34:38,626 --> 00:34:40,826
when I don't deserve to be tormented
538
00:34:40,918 --> 00:34:43,378
because I did what anybody else would do,
539
00:34:43,459 --> 00:34:45,129
and so there's only
clemency or the chair.
540
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:46,879
You make your pick, people,
541
00:34:46,959 --> 00:34:49,459
because that's the only way
it's going to be.
542
00:34:49,542 --> 00:34:52,332
Singhal: I represented Aileen
Wuornos for only 3 months
543
00:34:52,417 --> 00:34:57,417
from June of 2002
through September of 2002.
544
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,960
She felt that people were
tampering with her food,
545
00:35:00,042 --> 00:35:03,042
people were doing things in her jail cell
546
00:35:03,125 --> 00:35:08,165
that were designed to send
radio waves through her brain.
547
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:10,920
I'm so sick of hearing this,
"she's crazy," stuff.
548
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,250
I've been evaluated so many times.
549
00:35:13,334 --> 00:35:16,084
I'm competent, sane, and I'm
trying to tell the truth,
550
00:35:16,167 --> 00:35:18,457
and I'll take a polygraph
on every single word
551
00:35:18,542 --> 00:35:20,632
on those pages.
552
00:35:22,667 --> 00:35:24,917
Trenkmann: Wuornos had
real contempt for the world
553
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,790
and at some point
had contempt for life itself,
554
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:30,456
and she decided she had had it,
555
00:35:30,542 --> 00:35:32,332
and she did not want to be
on death row anymore.
556
00:35:32,417 --> 00:35:33,877
She wanted to be executed.
557
00:35:33,959 --> 00:35:37,419
Aileen's claim of self-defense,
she renounced that story.
558
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:40,250
She said that none of these men
did anything wrong,
559
00:35:40,334 --> 00:35:43,674
that none of them tried
to assault her or attack her
560
00:35:43,751 --> 00:35:48,501
and that her stories of
self-defense had all been lies.
561
00:35:51,125 --> 00:35:53,125
I killed those men.
562
00:35:53,209 --> 00:35:57,079
I robbed them, and I killed them
as cold as ice,
563
00:35:57,167 --> 00:35:58,747
and I'd do it again, too.
564
00:35:58,834 --> 00:36:01,254
Lee wanted to have control
over the situation,
565
00:36:01,334 --> 00:36:04,504
and "I'm going to die, and I'm
choosing to die," you know,
566
00:36:04,584 --> 00:36:06,504
"it's my choice, not yours."
567
00:36:06,584 --> 00:36:12,214
But there's no chance of this,
in keeping me alive or anything
568
00:36:12,292 --> 00:36:13,542
because I'd kill again.
569
00:36:13,626 --> 00:36:16,496
I have hate crawling through my system.
570
00:36:20,584 --> 00:36:25,174
Ultimately, governor bush had
her evaluated by three doctors.
571
00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:28,580
Those doctors found that she
was competent for the execution.
572
00:36:28,667 --> 00:36:35,377
Her appeals have been exhausted.
She wants to meet her creator.
573
00:36:38,250 --> 00:36:41,830
Chung: By the age of 15,
Aileen Wuornos was a prostitute.
574
00:36:41,918 --> 00:36:44,878
By the age of 35, she was a killer,
575
00:36:44,959 --> 00:36:48,499
but Aileen Wuornos
won't be making it to 55.
576
00:36:48,584 --> 00:36:49,964
At 9:30 tomorrow morning,
577
00:36:50,042 --> 00:36:51,832
the state of Florida is scheduled
578
00:36:51,918 --> 00:36:53,958
to give Wuornos a lethal injection.
579
00:36:54,042 --> 00:36:57,332
Pouncey: By tomorrow, I will
know there will be no more pictures,
580
00:36:57,417 --> 00:36:59,127
no more books, no more movies.
581
00:36:59,209 --> 00:37:02,879
I won't have to see her
wicked face again.
582
00:37:06,876 --> 00:37:10,456
Botkins: I wanted to get in
touch with my friend Aileen
583
00:37:10,542 --> 00:37:14,002
because she was my friend.
I didn't care what she did.
584
00:37:14,083 --> 00:37:19,383
I knew she was going to pay
the price for it, rightfully so,
585
00:37:19,459 --> 00:37:24,539
but it's got nothing to do
with our friendship.
586
00:37:24,626 --> 00:37:26,166
Well, why wouldn't I be the best friend
587
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:30,330
I could possibly be for the rest
of the years of her life?
588
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,580
Our last night visiting,
I took her barbecue chips,
589
00:37:39,667 --> 00:37:42,537
I think, two candy bars.
Well, she was totally a peach.
590
00:37:42,626 --> 00:37:44,166
She was so happy that night.
591
00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:46,330
We laughed the whole damn time.
592
00:37:46,417 --> 00:37:49,167
Even the guards kept looking at us,
593
00:37:49,250 --> 00:37:52,750
like "why are they laughing?
The girl is being executed."
594
00:37:52,834 --> 00:37:56,464
It was nothing sad.
What would be the point?
595
00:37:56,542 --> 00:38:06,672
??
596
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:10,711
Ivey: She requested us to wake
her up at 5:30, which we did.
597
00:38:10,792 --> 00:38:13,212
Her attitude is pretty calm.
598
00:38:13,292 --> 00:38:16,462
She's not quite as talkative
as she has been in the past.
599
00:38:16,542 --> 00:38:19,632
I was among the journalists
who was chosen to go in.
600
00:38:19,709 --> 00:38:24,999
The curtain opened, and there
was Aileen Wuornos on a gurney.
601
00:38:25,083 --> 00:38:27,583
Wuornos gave a statement
that people are still trying
602
00:38:27,667 --> 00:38:29,247
to figure out to this day.
603
00:38:29,334 --> 00:38:34,294
She said, "I'd just like to say
I'm sailing with the rock,
604
00:38:34,375 --> 00:38:37,575
and I'll be back like
independence day with Jesus,
605
00:38:37,667 --> 00:38:43,377
June 6th, like the movie,
on the big mother ship and all.
606
00:38:43,459 --> 00:38:45,709
I'll be back.
I'll be back."
607
00:38:45,792 --> 00:38:48,462
She was calm.
It was clinical.
608
00:38:48,542 --> 00:38:50,212
It was almost like watching someone
609
00:38:50,292 --> 00:38:54,172
in the emergency room getting an iv.
610
00:38:54,250 --> 00:38:56,750
Trenkmann:
Her eyes slowly closed.
611
00:38:56,834 --> 00:39:00,294
Her skin started to turn sort of grayish,
612
00:39:00,375 --> 00:39:02,245
and that went on for 17 minutes
613
00:39:02,334 --> 00:39:04,254
before she was officially
pronounced dead.
614
00:39:04,334 --> 00:39:10,254
??
615
00:39:10,334 --> 00:39:15,044
There are a lot of people
that sympathize with Aileen.
616
00:39:15,125 --> 00:39:19,165
I feel that a lot of it is,
they don't know the facts.
617
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:21,000
They don't know what really happened.
618
00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:24,963
They hear what came out through
the media, through movies.
619
00:39:25,042 --> 00:39:27,132
The most well-known one was "monster,"
620
00:39:27,209 --> 00:39:29,419
and that kind of made her
look like a victim.
621
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:31,080
I was raped and beat to [bleep]
622
00:39:31,167 --> 00:39:33,247
And was going to get killed,
but I wouldn't...
623
00:39:33,334 --> 00:39:34,674
I didn't want to lose you, you know?
624
00:39:34,751 --> 00:39:36,291
And I all I could think about
was over the rest
625
00:39:36,375 --> 00:39:38,125
of your [bleep] life,
you'd think I'd stood you up.
626
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:41,959
It's, like, nobody really knew
where this woman came from
627
00:39:42,042 --> 00:39:44,882
and to end up the way she did.
628
00:39:44,959 --> 00:39:47,829
There's no question
that she had a horrible life,
629
00:39:47,918 --> 00:39:51,958
and it clearly affected her
in the worst possible way,
630
00:39:52,042 --> 00:39:54,752
and she paid the ultimate price for that.
631
00:39:56,584 --> 00:39:59,884
But there's a lot of people
that have not had a fair shake
632
00:39:59,959 --> 00:40:02,209
in the system in this country,
633
00:40:02,292 --> 00:40:05,172
and they haven't
turned into serial killers.
634
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:07,830
Damore: The fact that Aileen
Wuornos received sympathy
635
00:40:07,918 --> 00:40:09,828
is simply because she was a woman.
636
00:40:09,918 --> 00:40:11,378
If she had been a man,
637
00:40:11,459 --> 00:40:13,579
you and I would not be
talking about this case.
638
00:40:13,667 --> 00:40:17,917
It's a nightmare, a horrible
nightmare that'll never go away.
639
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000
It'll never go away.
640
00:40:20,083 --> 00:40:25,293
I mean, she was actually an evil woman.
641
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,790
I never saw her be remorseful to anyone,
642
00:40:31,876 --> 00:40:34,826
and I think all of that
went away when tyria left.
643
00:40:34,918 --> 00:40:40,078
Her only hope that she ever had
in her entire life was tyria,
644
00:40:40,167 --> 00:40:43,037
and even after the betrayal she felt,
645
00:40:43,125 --> 00:40:46,245
she still loved her
because it was unconditional,
646
00:40:46,334 --> 00:40:48,464
and I think to the day she died,
647
00:40:48,542 --> 00:40:50,962
she felt that way towards tyria.
648
00:40:51,042 --> 00:40:58,502
??
649
00:40:58,584 --> 00:41:05,924
??
650
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,330
Despite all of that and despite
how much more it meant
651
00:41:10,417 --> 00:41:11,627
to putting her away,
652
00:41:11,709 --> 00:41:14,329
she was still the one that Wuornos loved
653
00:41:14,417 --> 00:41:17,747
and never stopped loving
until to her death.
654
00:41:17,834 --> 00:41:20,504
Reporter: Do you want to die?
Do you want?
655
00:41:20,584 --> 00:41:22,634
Oh, man. If I was
to leave this planet,
656
00:41:22,709 --> 00:41:24,129
it wouldn't be no big deal to me
657
00:41:24,209 --> 00:41:29,749
because this is a wicked,
wicked world, wicked world.
658
00:41:29,834 --> 00:41:33,254
The investigation that led
to the capture of Aileen Wuornos
659
00:41:33,334 --> 00:41:34,924
was a collaboration of five different
660
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,540
counties' sheriff's offices
661
00:41:36,626 --> 00:41:39,036
and the Florida department
of law enforcement.
662
00:41:39,125 --> 00:41:43,415
It took 13 months and cost $150,000,
663
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:46,330
but in the end, they got her.
664
00:41:46,417 --> 00:41:49,497
After her execution, Wuornos was cremated
665
00:41:49,584 --> 00:41:53,714
and her remains handed over to
childhood friend dawn botkins.
666
00:41:53,792 --> 00:41:57,002
Per Aileen's request, her ashes
were spread underneath a tree
667
00:41:57,083 --> 00:41:59,213
on dawn's property in rural Michigan.
668
00:41:59,292 --> 00:42:01,672
So that, as dawn says,
669
00:42:01,751 --> 00:42:04,421
"she could be near someone
who loved her."
670
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:07,130
Thanks for watching
"very scary people."
671
00:42:07,209 --> 00:42:09,289
Good night.
672
00:42:09,339 --> 00:42:13,889
