Aileen Wuornos
She was born on February 29, 1956 in Rochester, Michigan. Aileen was sexually abused as a child/teen and thrown out of her house. Aileen and her brother were born and raised by their grandmother after their father, also known as a child molester and a psychopath hung himself in prison. Their mother also abandoned them in 1960. Wuornos’ grandfather beat her and her grandmother was an alcoholic. Aileen Wuornos got pregnant at the age of 14 and she was also kicked out of her house at the age of 14. At 11, Wuornos began trading sexual favors for money, beer, and cigarettes. She would pronounce her brother as the father but she ended up putting the baby up for adoption. After she put the baby up for adoption she left home. She left home to hitchhike across America working as a prostitute to earn money. She fell in love with a waitress and they stayed together for four years. But they were barely getting by with very little money only coming in from prostitution. Wuornous began to change her name very frequently to something different every single time so she would not be identified as the same person or the real person she was. Because she was so desperate for money, Aileen and her love decided one day that she would rob her johns, and then shoot them, to make ends meet. By 1991 her record included arrests for illegal possession of firearms, forgery, assault, and robbery (along with other felonies and misdemeanors).
