Aileen Wuornos: Details of her crimes and death row letters

The criminal history and personal associations of serial killer Aileen Wuornos have gained renewed attention following recent media portrayals. Wuornos was convicted of murdering six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990, with a seventh victim linked to her.

During her crimes, Wuornos was in a romantic relationship with Tyria Moore. After Wuornos was arrested in 1991, authorities located Moore in Pennsylvania. In exchange for immunity from prosecution, Moore assisted investigators by participating in taped phone calls that helped secure a confession from Wuornos.

Records from Wuornos' time on death row include hundreds of letters, including a final correspondence to her childhood friend, Dawn Botkins. These documents provide insight into her final days before her execution via lethal injection.
