Aileen Wuornos Research Paper

By age 10, Wuornos and her brother began experimenting sexually with each other and by 14, she was pregnant and initially claimed her brother was the father but would later state that she had been raped by an older man from her neighborhood (Biography.com, 2010). She gave the baby up for adoption and then left home to hitchhike across America to work as a prostitute.

Aileen Wuornos was born on February 29, 1956, in Rochester, Michigan. Aileen was abused as a child and this led up to her life of sex and murder. Having been involved in previous instances with the law, she made a living as a prostitute on Florida's highways, and in 1989 she killed a man who had picked her up. She then went on to kill at least five other men, that was confirmed in court, and was eventually caught, convicted and placed on death row in Florida. Though her sanity was questioned, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in 2002.

In 1976, Wuornos hitchhiked to Florida, where she met 69-year-old yacht club president Lewis Gratz Fell. They married that same year, and the announcement of their nuptials was printed in the local newspaper's society pages. However, Wuornos continually involved herself in confrontations at their local bar and eventually went to jail for assault. She also hit Fell with his own cane, leading him to get a restraining order against her. She returned to Michigan[9][10] where, on July 14, 1976, she was arrested in Antrim County, Michigan, and charged with assault and disturbing the peace for throwing a cue ball at a bartender's head.[11] On July 17, her brother Keith died of esophageal cancer and Wuornos received $10,000 from his life insurance. Wuornos and Fell annulled their marriage on July 21 after only nine weeks.[12] In August 1976, Wuornos was given a $105 fine for drunk driving. She used her inheritance money that she had received from her late brother Keith the previous month to pay the fine and spent the rest of her inheritance money within two months by using it to buy luxuries including a new car, which she wrecked shortly afterwards.[13]
