Summary
In 1986, Tyria Moore met Aileen Wuornos in Florida, completely unaware that her romantic partner would become a notorious serial killer responsible for seven murders. Although Moore initially believed Wuornos committed her first homicide in self-defense, the killings continued and eventually forced Moore to flee to her family in Pennsylvania. Law enforcement subsequently secured Moore's cooperation by offering her immunity, prompting her to orchestrate several recorded phone calls that manipulated Wuornos into confessing. During the ensuing 1992 trial, Moore served as a star witness against her former partner, sealing Wuornos' fate and ultimately leading to a death sentence.
