Summary
Before Aileen Wuornos became one of America's most feared female serial killers, she was a 13-year-old girl who was assaulted and impregnated by a stranger, gave birth completely alone, and came home to a family that blamed her. In the first of three episodes on Aileen Wuornos, Katie Ring traces the story of a woman the world expected to be a victim, and how a lifetime of abandonment, abuse, and betrayal set her on a path no one tried to redirect. From a childhood in Michigan to the Florida highways where it all came to an end, this is the story of how Aileen Wuornos was made. This episode contains descriptions of physical and sexual assault, abuse, and murder. Please listen with care.
