From the beginning of her life Aileen Wuornos did not stand a chance. Born the 29th of February 1956 in Rochester, Michigan and named Aileen Carol Pittman and her background with her family would lay all the groundwork for instability in her life and would eventually make her one of if not the most notorious serial killer of modern age. In this paper we are going to cover the life of Aileen Wuornos and how she became known as “Monster”. Aileen never knew her biological father a child molester that in 1969 hanged his self in jail.

Martin and Joyner engaged Wuornos in conversation and purchased a couple of beers for her but she left the pub at 10 pm without accepting the offer of a ride from the officers. As Wuornos walked down the street a couple of Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement officer almost ruined the effort to take Wuornos down in a cautious manner by following he down Ridgewood with no lights on. Again a call from the command center was made to have the officers change their tactics and this allowed Aileen to reach her destination which was a biker bar
