AILEEN: LIFE AND DEATH OF A SERIAL KILLER
by Joan Churchill, Nick Broomfield
synopsis
Aileen Wournos' life does not make pleasant reading. Abused at home, pregnant and on drugs by the age of 13, she spent the rest of her life as a hitchhiking prostitute, wandering aimlessly across America. In the late 80s she was arrested and charged with the murder of six men in Floridian backwaters: the media had a field day, the police officers (and even members of her family) spent more time trying to get Hollywood deals for the story than they did ever really investigating the circumstances.
