Highway hitchhikers beware—America's deadliest female highway predator lurked along Florida's roadways in the late 1980s. Eileen Wuornos murdered seven men between 1989-1990, shooting them multiple times and abandoning their bodies in wooded areas across central Florida, creating a terrifying serial killing spree that shocked the nation.
Born into unimaginable trauma, Wuornos never stood a chance at normalcy. Her biological father—a convicted child abuser—died by suicide in prison. Abandoned by her mother and raised by alcoholic, abusive grandparents, she faced alleged sexual abuse from both her grandfather and brother. By age 14, she was homeless and surviving through sex work, creating the psychological foundation for the violence that would later define her.
What makes Wuornos' case particularly fascinating is her methodology and motivation. Unlike most serial killers who hunt vulnerable victims, she targeted middle-aged men traveling alone on highways. While she claimed self-defense against abusive clients, the evidence suggested something darker—a rage-fueled revenge against men who represented those who had hurt her throughout life. The increasing brutality of her killings—from four gunshots with her first victim to nine with later ones—reveals an escalating emotional disconnect typical of serial predators.
The investigation that brought Wuornos to justice combined forensic evidence with classic human error. She pawned victims' belongings under her real name, left fingerprints, and was seen fleeing from a crashed victim's vehicle. Most damning was the betrayal by her girlfriend Tyria Moore, who cooperated with police to record Eileen's confession. Her subsequent courtroom behavior—marked by outbursts, vulgar language, and paranoid claims—captivated the public and highlighted her severe mental instability.
Before her 2002 execution, Wuornos requested only black coffee and a cigarette for her final meal—a telling glimpse into her hardened persona. Her story inspired the Oscar-winning film "Monster" and continues to spark debate about trauma, gender, and violence. Was she a cold-blooded killer or an avenging angel for abused women? Listen and decide for yourself.

Oh, shoot this is episode four.
00:00:28.492 --> 00:00:30.754
This is why we don't pick up strings.
00:00:33.341 --> 00:00:40.341
Take it away, boys, let's go.
00:00:42.124 --> 00:00:43.744
Welcome back to why so Serial?
00:00:43.744 --> 00:00:46.226
It's your boy, corey, here, and I've got Soren with me.
00:00:46.226 --> 00:00:47.527
Say hi, soren, hello.
00:00:47.527 --> 00:00:49.530
And today is episode four.
00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:51.792
This is why we don't pick up strangers.
00:00:51.792 --> 00:00:54.874
Today, soren, we're going to be starting in Florida.
00:00:54.874 --> 00:00:58.237
All right, that's where we left off last time with Bundy.
00:00:58.496 --> 00:00:58.756
Yeah.
00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:03.621
So we're in Florida 1989.
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.242
Yeah, I actually think Bundy was actually executed in 1989.
00:01:06.242 --> 00:01:08.405
Yeah, I actually think Bungie was actually executed in 1989.
00:01:08.424 --> 00:01:08.986
I think you're right.
00:01:08.986 --> 00:01:13.009
Well, where one serial killer ended, this one's going to pick up.
00:01:13.009 --> 00:01:14.510
All right, all right.
00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:15.930
Well, at least that's where our story starts.
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:17.652
Florida, 1989.
00:01:17.652 --> 00:01:19.593
Body of a man is found.
00:01:19.593 --> 00:01:21.775
He's shot several times off a wooded highway.
00:01:21.775 --> 00:01:29.722
Days later, another and another, and another, another, and another, and another, and another.
00:01:29.722 --> 00:01:30.385
You get my point.
00:01:30.385 --> 00:01:36.709
Over the course of the year, over the course of a year, seven men would be murdered and dumped across central florida.
00:01:36.709 --> 00:01:46.417
The killer, not your typical predator this time it was a female, yeah we haven't done a female serial killer yet we haven't.
00:01:46.897 --> 00:01:59.066
Um, this is actually the first one, and she was a drifter, she was a sex worker and she was a survivor and she was also a self-proclaimed avenger of abused women.
00:01:59.066 --> 00:02:01.191
Who we're going to be talking about?
00:02:01.191 --> 00:02:02.921
Her name is eileen warnos.
00:02:02.921 --> 00:02:12.508
She's a lot of people will say she's America's first female serial killer by FBI standards, but realistically that's just not true.
00:02:12.508 --> 00:02:19.048
There was Velma Barfield right here in North Carolina, jane Toppin, the killer nurse.
00:02:19.048 --> 00:02:22.709
There was several more before her.
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.028
Yeah, I've heard of a few more before 1999.
00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:26.020
Yeah.
00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:27.989
So I don't know where that actually comes from.
00:02:27.989 --> 00:02:35.319
I don't know if it was because she was kind of the most popular, because there's a lot of really I say funny.
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:46.752
But she was very vocal about things and had a lot of interviews and stuff that were public, that people got to hear on TV and stuff that were that were public, that people uh got to hear on tv and stuff.
00:02:46.752 --> 00:02:50.163
So let's get into who she was.
00:02:50.204 --> 00:02:56.323
A little bit of her background all right eileen was born in 1956 in the state of michigan.
00:02:56.323 --> 00:03:02.883
This is where, I mean pretty much right from birth, is where the trouble kind of starts for her.
00:03:02.883 --> 00:03:06.510
She, her biological father, was, uh, convicted.
00:03:06.510 --> 00:03:17.366
He did some bad things to children and he was convicted of it and he died by suicide in prison after he was convicted of those things.
00:03:17.366 --> 00:03:23.573
She was then abandoned by her mother and raised by an alcoholic and abusive grandparents.
00:03:23.573 --> 00:03:38.871
Dang yeah, so there was also some claims of abuse by her grandfather and her brother and that her brother took an inappropriate relationship with her when she was very young.
00:03:38.871 --> 00:03:41.782
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:41.782 --> 00:03:50.712
So she really, right from the go, was just giving a really really bad go at things.
00:03:51.174 --> 00:03:51.895
Yeah, for real.
00:03:55.500 --> 00:04:04.775
You know, as you hear more about her, it kind of makes sense Like how do you turn out well after you've received like literally no love as a child?
00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:05.320
Yeah.
00:04:05.341 --> 00:04:07.984
She probably doesn't even know what love is and caring is.
00:04:07.984 --> 00:04:11.224
I think she tried.
00:04:11.224 --> 00:04:13.748
She was homeless by the age of 14.
00:04:13.748 --> 00:04:21.230
She kind of began sex work as a way, just for her to survive.
00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:24.223
She started at the age of 14.
00:04:25.045 --> 00:04:25.427
What.
00:04:26.007 --> 00:04:26.891
Yeah, dang.
00:04:26.891 --> 00:04:35.420
I mean she was on the streets, she was homeless, she had nobody to care for, so she did it as a means of survival, and that's how she survived.
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:35.701
Wait.
00:04:35.701 --> 00:04:40.331
So when she was 14, her grandparents were like yep, you're good, you're on your own now.
00:04:40.331 --> 00:04:41.682
Like what?
00:04:42.002 --> 00:04:45.088
Well, I think it was more so that they were alcoholics.
00:04:45.088 --> 00:04:47.072
They were abusive um.
00:04:47.072 --> 00:05:12.752
Her brother was also abusive to her, so it was one of those things where she just like left him right away yeah, she was better off on her own trying to make it than you know sitting at the hands of abuse for yeah however long, and you know this kind of upbringing and abuse and abandonment, betrayal, you name it, uh, it kind of builds the foundation, um of like psychological scaffolding, so to speak.
00:05:12.812 --> 00:05:26.201
That yeah can just lead to violence and, um, you know, from a law enforcement perspective, you can look at this kind of trauma that she went through as a child as not only a motive, but there's like a huge red flag.
00:05:26.201 --> 00:05:30.569
Um, yeah but it could be a motive as to why she ended up?
00:05:30.810 --> 00:05:33.541
it could be ultimately doing what she did?
00:05:33.541 --> 00:05:36.653
I don't think you know a lot of people.
00:05:36.653 --> 00:05:41.762
There were some interviews where they actually asked her like, do you, do you think you were born a killer?
00:05:41.762 --> 00:05:43.144
And and I don't think she was.
00:05:43.144 --> 00:05:48.709
I think she it's easy to say that because she was very she made herself seem very.
00:05:48.709 --> 00:05:59.276
I don't want to call her crazy, but she was just born into so much chaos and abuse, you know.
00:05:59.276 --> 00:06:23.471
But yeah, she goes off in her teens and she's doing sex work to survive and she actually hitchhiked across the United States and all along the way she was doing petty crimes and she was arrested several times for this and that, but nothing super crazy, nothing super crazy.
00:06:23.471 --> 00:06:31.214
And she eventually settled in Florida, where all these murders take place, and she met Tyria Moore at a Daytona Beach gay bar in 1986.
00:06:31.214 --> 00:06:38.112
Yeah, tyria ends up becoming her lover and kind of her emotional anchor.
00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:40.067
Dude, that's a thing A gay bar.
00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:41.584
Yeah, a gay bar is a.
00:06:41.584 --> 00:06:41.845
Thing.
00:06:41.884 --> 00:06:42.406
For real.
00:06:42.687 --> 00:06:42.928
Yeah.
00:06:44.201 --> 00:06:47.690
Like is it a bar where only gays are allowed, or something, or how does that work?
00:06:49.380 --> 00:06:51.889
I'm not sure if you have to be gay.
00:06:51.889 --> 00:06:53.720
I don't think you have to be gay to go there.
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.172
I don't actually know how it works, but that's where they met.
00:06:59.172 --> 00:07:03.427
All right, yes, I don't have a good answer for you, man.
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:24.069
Um, yes, I don't have a good answer for you, man, but um, you know, tyria, I think, was the first person to really genuinely care about her, yeah, and love her and show her love, um, but uh, the problem with that is their relationship was very intense and dependent.
00:07:24.069 --> 00:07:36.504
It was marked by a lot of jealousy and financial desperation, so they were sort of partners in crime trying to survive together, um, but they were very dependent on each other.
00:07:36.504 --> 00:07:39.913
Yeah, um, and you know you're still very young.
00:07:39.913 --> 00:07:54.596
But in relationships, especially romantic ones like that, um, if you become too dependent on the other person, it can lead to some unhealthy things in my opinion.
00:07:54.596 --> 00:08:02.755
But you know what does my opinion matter?
00:08:02.755 --> 00:08:21.524
But, interestingly enough, wernos was very, very protective of Tyria and that ends up people end up believing that that is ultimately a motivating factor in her crimes, and I got a theory on that.
00:08:21.524 --> 00:08:27.826
I do want to share with you my theory is whatever they said.
00:08:27.927 --> 00:08:29.470
is they some buffoons?
00:08:30.190 --> 00:08:30.471
Why.
00:08:31.213 --> 00:08:32.153
Protected of her.
00:08:32.153 --> 00:08:34.003
That makes you kill people.
00:08:35.024 --> 00:08:35.566
Think about it.
00:08:35.566 --> 00:08:36.869
Let's think about that.
00:08:36.869 --> 00:08:38.653
Yeah, think about it.
00:08:42.442 --> 00:08:47.489
I mean it could, but the odds of like those people hurting.
00:08:47.489 --> 00:08:49.511
Wait, what was her name?
00:08:49.511 --> 00:08:50.173
Tyree.
00:08:50.793 --> 00:08:51.215
Tyree.
00:08:51.634 --> 00:08:51.936
Oh yeah.
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.368
So I don't even know if I'm saying that right, but I want to come back to that.
00:08:58.368 --> 00:08:59.070
Don't let me forget.
00:08:59.070 --> 00:09:01.106
All right, because I want to share with you what I think.
00:09:01.106 --> 00:09:05.024
But she's going to later.
00:09:05.024 --> 00:09:11.745
Ty tyria's eventually gonna later be the prosecution's star witness against eileen.
00:09:11.745 --> 00:09:22.504
Yes, spoiler alert um, some argue she killed for money and to rob these people.
00:09:22.504 --> 00:09:25.941
Some people say it was love, other people say it was rage.
00:09:25.941 --> 00:09:30.187
So do we ultimately know what her motive was?
00:09:30.607 --> 00:09:39.365
rage I think it's a combination of these things like I I've heard of like a few of her interviews and stuff.
00:09:39.365 --> 00:09:56.187
Yeah, I think it ultimately was rage 100 I think, I don't think they would rob for money or kill for money yeah, I think like there's like a I mean it's decent amount of money, but like it's not, like it's like a million dollars or anything.
00:09:57.110 --> 00:10:04.525
Yeah, maybe, maybe like a couple hundred bucks yeah, and I'll talk about a few of the things that she actually stole to, like, sell at pawn shops and stuff.
00:10:04.525 --> 00:10:27.390
But, you know, with everything that happened to her and a majority of it was at the hands of a man, yeah, you know, and all of her victims were men, so Do I think it had a An influence on that, but I think she was very, very angry and took it out on these men Probably.
00:10:27.671 --> 00:10:27.932
Yep.
00:10:28.533 --> 00:10:33.365
Probably, but at the same time, this is my theory on the other part of it, let's go ahead and talk about it.
00:10:33.365 --> 00:10:51.245
Maybe she was in her own mind Now for us to say, oh, she's not protecting Tyria from anything, but in her own mind is she protecting her from these men well, was tyria also doing the same work?
00:10:51.826 --> 00:10:54.491
yeah, I think so yeah it makes a little bit more sense.
00:10:54.491 --> 00:10:58.506
Get him off the streets before you're thinking too literally about it.
00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:15.054
She's not thinking like we are, like of course it's not going to protect her because anybody could hurt her right yeah but in her mind, men consistently hurt her badly and abused her badly.
00:11:15.054 --> 00:11:21.248
Yeah, so by her killing her, these men, is that in some some shape or form protecting tyria?
00:11:21.248 --> 00:11:22.149
Does that make sense?
00:11:22.149 --> 00:11:29.825
Yeah, it's interesting, but enough of that, let's talk about the murders.
00:11:29.825 --> 00:11:32.727
Excuse me, you're excused.
00:11:32.727 --> 00:11:35.725
Are you ready to talk about murder, or do you need a little gas break?
00:11:36.989 --> 00:11:37.350
I'm ready.
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:44.741
Okay, murder number one Richard Malloy, old Dick Mallory, age 51.
00:11:44.741 --> 00:11:48.128
He was killed on November 30th 1989.
00:11:48.128 --> 00:12:17.142
He was an electronics store owner from Clearwater, florida, and later it came out that he had a prior conviction and I'm very careful about my words here because some people are triggered by certain things but he had a conviction for abuse against a woman and his body was found several days later in a wooded area near Daytona Beach and he was shot four times with two bullets in his left lung.
00:12:17.142 --> 00:12:28.341
Now Eileen said that he did some violent things trying to abuse her and that she killed him in self-defense.
00:12:28.341 --> 00:12:36.062
But this claim would then, you know, kind of spark debate, since his past kind of corroborated but kind of went with what?
00:12:36.523 --> 00:12:49.846
she said um, but it also raised some more suspicion about her motive raised some more suspicion about her motive in the other murders that wait.
00:12:49.866 --> 00:12:52.274
So did the police, like a mean like, did like she like, tell them that she killed this man?
00:12:53.017 --> 00:12:55.865
or how did no, like they didn't find out this until like much?
00:12:55.904 --> 00:12:57.107
later trial and stuff.
00:12:57.187 --> 00:13:00.883
Yeah, yeah, yeah all right until she was like she was talking about all the murders.
00:13:00.883 --> 00:13:07.977
At that point I think ah yeah, so, um, the next one, david spears.
00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:08.980
He was killed.
00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:23.922
Now she went a pretty good while between the first one and the second one, the first one was november 30th 1989, the second one wasn't until may 19th of 1990, so you're talking a good six months later.
00:13:23.922 --> 00:13:27.041
Six and a half months later his name was david spears.
00:13:27.643 --> 00:13:29.947
That's what or sorry, I mean no go ahead.
00:13:29.947 --> 00:13:30.830
That's what I'm saying.
00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:39.057
It might not be rage because, like six months in between, now I feel like it's calculated yeah, did he did.
00:13:39.078 --> 00:13:52.351
He have prior convictions no known history of violence, and his murder seemed to be much more like execution style than the first one now.
00:13:52.392 --> 00:13:53.755
Now my theory might be wrong.
00:13:53.755 --> 00:14:04.441
So I was thinking she was like she knew about his past and saw him, or I don't know how it worked exactly, but like she somehow knew that.
00:14:04.441 --> 00:14:08.684
And then she said like whatever, and knew she could get away with it.
00:14:09.066 --> 00:14:11.567
Yeah, I don't know, but David here.
00:14:11.567 --> 00:14:19.895
He was a construction worker from Winter Garden and his naked body was found in Citrus County and he was shot six times.
00:14:20.275 --> 00:14:20.697
Jesus.
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.821
Yeah, but no known history of violence for him and, like I said, it was much more execution style of murder.
00:14:26.821 --> 00:14:42.309
The third victim was may 31st 1990, so only we're talking a couple weeks later yeah charles cars cadden cast, I don't know why does everyone have weird names bro?
00:14:42.309 --> 00:14:43.250
Man, I don't know.
00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:53.740
He was a 40-year-old man, he was a rodeo worker and he was traveling through Pasco County and he was found shot nine times Now.
00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:59.912
He was also shot with a .22 caliber weapon, just like the first two.
00:15:00.734 --> 00:15:00.974
All right.
00:15:01.921 --> 00:15:17.769
And this was an excessive number of shots, which kind of suggests to me that as they're going, she's getting more and more pissed off, because the first guy was what two?
00:15:17.769 --> 00:15:23.259
Dick Mallory four times.
00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:25.447
The next one was six and now we're at nine.
00:15:25.447 --> 00:15:29.671
I mean, granted, it is a .22 that she's using, so a really small caliber, but dang.
00:15:30.380 --> 00:15:31.345
Yeah, it still is a lot.
00:15:31.681 --> 00:15:33.899
Nine times is excessive, no matter what you're using.
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.350
Yeah, he was probably dead after the first two or three, I would assume.
00:15:37.490 --> 00:15:49.878
I would think If he wasn't dead right away, he was going to die Now, two months later, in July, july 30th 1990.
00:15:49.878 --> 00:15:55.066
Troy Burris I don't even know how to say Troy Burris was a.
00:15:55.066 --> 00:16:03.976
Troy Burris was a traveling sausage salesman from Ocala what?
00:16:03.976 --> 00:16:11.414
No way, that's a real thing he was a traveling sausage salesman from Ocala where's Ocala?
00:16:11.414 --> 00:16:12.279
Florida.
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.370
It's like a little bit south of Jacksonville, duval.
00:16:18.431 --> 00:16:21.416
Come on, duval.
00:16:23.761 --> 00:16:29.874
His body was also discovered in a wooded area in Marion County August 4th and he was only shot twice.
00:16:31.244 --> 00:16:32.708
Did he have any prior convictions?
00:16:34.501 --> 00:16:36.629
I don't think that he did.
00:16:36.629 --> 00:16:40.888
Yeah, I don't think that he did.
00:16:42.801 --> 00:16:43.863
Maybe it is that random.
00:16:45.687 --> 00:16:46.087
Yeah, I don't know.
00:16:46.107 --> 00:16:46.708
About the rage.
00:16:47.410 --> 00:16:47.792
I don't know.
00:16:47.792 --> 00:16:48.552
I don't know.
00:16:48.552 --> 00:16:57.532
I mean because she was in that business and she was picking up a lot of men or they were picking her up.
00:16:57.532 --> 00:16:59.544
Rather that's how she made her money.
00:16:59.544 --> 00:17:05.192
There was only seven murders, so I don't know how she picked.
00:17:05.192 --> 00:17:09.509
I don't know if it was just days that she felt extra pissed off.
00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:11.567
Wait, they were picking her up.
00:17:12.381 --> 00:17:15.009
Yeah, so she was a sex worker.
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.807
Wait, what was she doing with the cars?
00:17:18.922 --> 00:17:19.605
She was ditching them.
00:17:19.605 --> 00:17:22.249
She was taking their cars and then ditching them later.
00:17:22.249 --> 00:17:24.125
She would use their cars for a little while.
00:17:24.125 --> 00:17:33.311
Yeah, but his family actually reported him missing right away and they actually found his van abandoned.
00:17:33.311 --> 00:17:41.272
But after she kills people people she takes their vehicles, like I was saying how far away was it abandoned from where his body was found?
00:17:41.272 --> 00:17:47.489
That is way too specific for any kind of research I'm gonna be doing all right.
00:17:47.609 --> 00:17:48.952
Where was the van located?
00:17:49.032 --> 00:17:49.540
these are all.
00:17:49.540 --> 00:17:55.750
This is all happening in florida, okay, yeah, so not far from each other.
00:17:55.830 --> 00:18:07.529
Like law enforcement is drawing the connection already same county they're not in the same county but they're close enough to where law enforcement even back um, you know, in the early 90s, late 80s.
00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:08.452
They're hip to that.
00:18:08.452 --> 00:18:15.772
These are connected and they they have something more than just a random murder of one on their hands.
00:18:15.772 --> 00:18:26.390
You know, not like the Bundy case where he was just going around killing all kinds of people and nobody was communicating and stuff like that.
00:18:27.213 --> 00:18:29.405
Well, his murders were a little bit before.
00:18:29.405 --> 00:18:33.690
His murders were probably like what 70s.
00:18:33.690 --> 00:18:35.450
Yeah, 10 years before.
00:18:35.731 --> 00:18:41.289
Yeah, her next victim, dick Humphreys, age 56.
00:18:41.289 --> 00:18:43.253
I'm not making this up, man.
00:18:43.253 --> 00:18:45.900
He was killed on September 11th 1990.
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:51.070
He was a retired Air Force major, former police chief and child abuse investigator.
00:18:51.853 --> 00:18:52.073
Okay.
00:18:54.201 --> 00:19:01.584
Fully clothed body found in Marion County, which is where they also found that other dude, and he was shot six times in the head and torso.
00:19:01.945 --> 00:19:02.689
Jesus.
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.451
Like golly man.
00:19:04.451 --> 00:19:25.951
But this is where it's weird to me, because the irony right, this guy was a police chief, he was a retired Air Force major, a very respectable man, um and he spent his life protecting vulnerable people like her dude, this is definitely like I think.
00:19:27.334 --> 00:19:28.882
Dude, this is so confusing.
00:19:28.882 --> 00:19:34.250
Now, like, how does she pick these people like?
00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:36.255
Like it makes no sense.
00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:47.010
I honestly think she killed because she wanted to and because she had all this pent-up rage, and this was her way of getting back at the people that hurt her.
00:19:47.010 --> 00:19:48.162
Now.
00:19:48.162 --> 00:19:49.686
It wasn't the right way to do it.
00:19:49.867 --> 00:19:50.189
Yeah.
00:19:51.161 --> 00:19:58.124
But, like this, guy spent his life and his career protecting vulnerable people yeah and like why wouldn't, as a child abuse investigator.
00:19:58.124 --> 00:19:58.284
Why?
00:19:58.304 --> 00:19:58.684
wouldn't.
00:19:58.684 --> 00:19:59.406
Why would she?
00:19:59.406 --> 00:20:02.000
I mean seven's a lot, but like why wouldn't she?
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.825
I bet she does way more than seven.
00:20:03.825 --> 00:20:10.747
Uh in it, like you said, it was like 12 months, so a year yeah, it was a year like why wouldn't?
00:20:10.747 --> 00:20:16.348
I mean not saying she should have killed more, but like it's just weird how she only kills seven.
00:20:16.348 --> 00:20:18.842
She's doing so many At that point.
00:20:18.842 --> 00:20:19.525
Just kill them all.
00:20:19.525 --> 00:20:26.772
I mean not saying it like that, but like if you have that much rage, why, are you just killing seven?
00:20:27.074 --> 00:20:31.890
Yeah, across like a month, like the shortest period was like what?
00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:32.833
Two, three weeks.
00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:35.949
Yeah, a couple weeks and that was like only one time.
00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:37.538
The other ones have been like months apart.
00:20:38.141 --> 00:20:42.952
Yeah, everything else is pretty spread out for the most part.
00:20:42.952 --> 00:21:01.653
Her next victim is Walter Antonio, truck driver and former police reservist, and he was found nearly nude in Dixie County, shot four times and then his vehicle was later found abandoned in Brevard County nearby.
00:21:01.653 --> 00:21:06.367
So yeah, kind of the same song and dance.
00:21:06.367 --> 00:21:09.769
Yeah, vehicle abandoned, man went missing.
00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:10.863
How many times did he get?
00:21:10.903 --> 00:21:11.948
shot Four times.
00:21:11.948 --> 00:21:19.731
Peter Seams, age 65, disappeared June 7, 1990.
00:21:19.731 --> 00:21:25.672
So a little bit before that he was a retired merchant seaman and Christian missionary.
00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:27.040
What's a merchant seaman?
00:21:27.981 --> 00:21:28.303
I don't know.
00:21:28.303 --> 00:21:29.364
He worked on a boat.
00:21:29.364 --> 00:21:33.928
Oh, a seaman.
00:21:33.928 --> 00:21:38.432
Oh, all, right, yeah, his body was never found.
00:21:38.432 --> 00:21:45.502
But his car was located two weeks later, crashed in Orange Springs, florida.
00:21:45.502 --> 00:21:59.814
But this gave us a key clue Witnesses saw two women fleeing the crash site and they saw Eileen and Tyria fleeing from the crash site.
00:21:59.814 --> 00:22:14.627
But let's back up just a second and kind of talk about you were asking about like the distance for everything and all that, but let's talk about how law enforcement started connecting the dots and how they started to kind of solve this thing.
00:22:14.627 --> 00:22:21.145
So law enforcement agencies across multiple Florida counties noticed the similarities.
00:22:21.145 --> 00:22:30.769
Like I was saying, victims were all middle-aged men last seen traveling by themselves, all found naked, or at least like mostly naked.
00:22:30.849 --> 00:22:31.090
Yeah.
00:22:32.061 --> 00:22:36.615
Or partially naked, and they were all shot with the same 22 caliber weapon.
00:22:36.615 --> 00:22:45.353
So they were actually able to uh link these cases based on on ballistics and the victimology.
00:22:45.432 --> 00:22:49.463
So wait, what's ballistics type of gun or weapon?
00:22:49.944 --> 00:22:55.452
the bullets they recovered and the you know ballistics stuff from the weapon.
00:22:55.452 --> 00:23:02.750
All right that was used and evidence that leaves behind, Like every weapon leaves different.
00:23:02.750 --> 00:23:05.388
It's almost like every weapon has a fingerprint.
00:23:05.388 --> 00:23:11.125
It's not a fingerprint, obviously, because it's a gun, but Like they're all different somehow.
00:23:11.164 --> 00:23:12.730
They're all different so you can link.
00:23:12.730 --> 00:23:28.800
If I use, you know know, the same gun to commit 10 shootings and law enforcement was able to get the casing from all 10 shootings, they could link them all together and say the same gun fired all these rounds, yeah, yeah, so that's, that's what they did in this case too.
00:23:28.800 --> 00:23:32.705
That's a um, they were still able to do that back in 1990.
00:23:32.705 --> 00:23:43.508
But um stolen property I mentioned she would take stuff from these dudes, um, and go and pawn it.
00:23:43.508 --> 00:23:51.463
So eileen would go and pawn and she did pawn several items belonging to the victims.
00:23:52.365 --> 00:23:58.714
Uh, the most important to this case was a radar detector tools and a camera.
00:23:58.714 --> 00:24:06.452
And a radar detector is kind of like an old school thing, because now we've got Waze and stuff that tells us when cops are around.
00:24:06.452 --> 00:24:13.570
But people would put radar detectors up in their car windshield and it would beep if there was a cop.
00:24:13.570 --> 00:24:15.473
You know, running radar or whatever.
00:24:15.473 --> 00:24:17.702
It was really popular back in the 90s.
00:24:17.702 --> 00:24:23.202
I don't know of all too many people still using those, but um, she would.
00:24:23.202 --> 00:24:40.960
Actually, when you pawn something at a pawn shop, you actually have to um sign something for it and show id most of the times, or at least that's how it's supposed to go yeah but she was actually signing the pawn slips under her real name and left fingerprints behind.
00:24:42.342 --> 00:24:53.505
Yeah, not too intelligent no, and you know, when I was investigating uh major crimes, pawn shops were huge.
00:24:53.545 --> 00:25:12.074
We had a system where we could actually uh go in and type in somebody's name and see if they pawned anything anywhere yeah, but it's not like she's pawning something that's like specific to like one person, like I've seen some like or kidnappings or killings.
00:25:12.074 --> 00:25:20.288
But I actually think I saw one where someone um sold like someone's class ring or something like that or someone's ring.
00:25:20.288 --> 00:25:22.173
It was very weird.
00:25:22.294 --> 00:25:25.462
That's very specific and very easy to connect the dots there.
00:25:25.542 --> 00:25:50.684
But um so the the peter seems guy signs whatever his name is that crashed, the car that crashed yeah, yeah, yeah so they found that car abandoned and wrecked and that's where two women had been seen fleeing the scene and and witnesses helped police uh create a composite sketch based off what they saw, because there was actually witnesses to to that car.
00:25:50.684 --> 00:25:58.356
So the sketches actually matched eileen and tyria and they were known.
00:25:58.356 --> 00:26:06.236
They were pretty well known in daytona so the locals known them as lee and tyree, all right.
00:26:06.236 --> 00:26:14.359
So tipsters actually contacted the police after seeing the sketch and recognizing them, um, and snitched on them.
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.082
So there was probably some kind of reward and they were all trying to cash in.
00:26:19.724 --> 00:26:22.028
But, um, she was arrested.
00:26:22.028 --> 00:26:23.471
Uh, warn us.
00:26:23.471 --> 00:26:34.788
Eileen was was arrested at the last resort biker bar in port orange, florida, and police were actually in there like hanging out with her, uh, undercover, because they were trying undercover.
00:26:34.788 --> 00:26:35.612
They were scared of her.
00:26:35.612 --> 00:26:39.548
You saw some of the videos and stuff.
00:26:39.548 --> 00:26:41.586
She was a little bit scary man.
00:26:41.586 --> 00:26:54.814
So police actually wanted to be really careful and they actually went undercover and ultimately arrested her in that bar without incident.
00:26:54.814 --> 00:27:05.731
But probably the biggest thing in this case and for the prosecution is they were able to get Tyria and they were able to flip her.
00:27:07.763 --> 00:27:10.511
So, Tyria would eventually snitch.
00:27:10.511 --> 00:27:15.488
So she was scared that she was going to get prosecuted and she probably was.
00:27:15.488 --> 00:27:19.615
But she agreed to cooperate in exchange for her own immunity.
00:27:19.615 --> 00:27:28.355
So what police did was they put her up in a hotel and had her call Eileen multiple times over several days.
00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:30.848
So this went on for a little while.
00:27:30.848 --> 00:27:43.711
All these calls were recorded and Eileen eventually confessed to her over the phone, um, and she told tyria that she did all these murders to protect her.
00:27:43.711 --> 00:27:45.674
Yeah, and that's.
00:27:45.674 --> 00:27:59.493
We talked about a little bit about that um earlier, but you know, this is one of those cases where this case didn't get cracked because there was some crazy breakthrough in DNA or forensic science.
00:27:59.493 --> 00:28:01.724
It was human behavior.
00:28:02.086 --> 00:28:02.326
Yeah.
00:28:03.648 --> 00:28:04.109
Greed.
00:28:04.109 --> 00:28:05.920
She got greedy she.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.567
You know, tyria panicked.
00:28:07.567 --> 00:28:11.969
Eileen trusted her when she shouldn't have.
00:28:11.969 --> 00:28:13.739
Can't really trust anybody, to be honest.
00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:20.753
Yeah, I feel like she would have gone a long while if she didn't bring tyria with her yeah, I mean you got.
00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:25.731
You got tyria, you got these pawn slips, sloppy getaways you're crashing the freaking getaway car.
00:28:25.731 --> 00:28:32.441
Look, rule number one in a getaway, especially if you're driving away from that junk don't crash the car.
00:28:32.441 --> 00:28:36.128
Don't crash the getaway car.
00:28:36.128 --> 00:28:39.002
It works a whole lot better and you might actually get away.
00:28:39.002 --> 00:28:46.163
Yeah, um, and you know, ultimately tyria's survival instinct was stronger than her loyalty to eileen.
00:28:46.163 --> 00:28:56.036
So, um, in a nutshell, eileen got caught because she left her seats, literally left her seats.
00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:59.203
Actually it's pretty funny.
00:28:59.345 --> 00:29:00.127
You liked that, didn't you?
00:29:00.127 --> 00:29:03.048

00:29:39.887 --> 00:29:41.511
We got fans in singapore, bro.
00:29:41.511 --> 00:29:45.285
All right, here we go.
00:29:45.285 --> 00:29:48.029
Let's talk about the trial.
00:29:48.029 --> 00:29:51.595
So she was first tried.
00:29:51.595 --> 00:29:53.136
Eileen was first tried.
00:29:53.136 --> 00:29:56.109
Like I said, tyria got a full immunity so she's good.
00:29:57.705 --> 00:29:58.248
She's good to go.
00:29:58.248 --> 00:30:04.833
Wuornos was first tried for the murder of Dick Mallory in 1992.
00:30:04.833 --> 00:30:08.148
She was found guilty and sentenced to death.
00:30:08.148 --> 00:30:11.289
She actually received six death sentences total.
00:30:11.289 --> 00:30:15.887
Her courtroom demeanor is something.
00:30:15.887 --> 00:30:18.096
It was very unstable.
00:30:18.096 --> 00:30:22.949
She was paranoid, angry and really vulgar about it.
00:30:22.949 --> 00:30:32.510
Um, I saw some clips where she was like flicking off the judges on the way out and just cutting up in the courtroom dude.
00:30:32.590 --> 00:30:38.161
I heard one where he's like up in the courtroom.
00:30:38.161 --> 00:30:38.260
Dude.
00:30:38.260 --> 00:30:39.684
I heard one where he's like he said I did the most gruesome crime.
00:30:39.684 --> 00:30:45.667
I only shot him, not like I cut his penis off and put it in his mouth or something gross like that yo, I actually want to hold on.
00:30:45.708 --> 00:30:55.093
Let me play that, because I think the people uh deserve to hear that one, because that was actually kind of funny, you ready.
00:30:56.765 --> 00:31:03.000
Yeah, as you know, and he said, I did the most horrendous crime in the whole wide world.
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.527
Not true?
00:31:05.527 --> 00:31:06.190
I guess not.
00:31:06.190 --> 00:31:11.271
All they were was shot and left.
00:31:11.271 --> 00:31:17.154
If it was a horrendous crime, why didn't I shoot them between the eyes, cut their penis off, stick it in their mouth, you know do all kinds of gross stuff?
00:31:17.154 --> 00:31:20.269
All they were was shot and left, you know.
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.808
That was actually a clip from 60 Minutes Australia.
00:31:25.808 --> 00:31:28.361
Yeah, dude, she, yeah, she was a fun one.
00:31:28.361 --> 00:31:31.229
She was interesting yeah For sure.
00:31:31.229 --> 00:31:32.853
Yeah, she was a fun one.
00:31:32.853 --> 00:31:36.162
She was interesting yeah For sure.
00:31:36.162 --> 00:31:43.273
But that, like you can see just in that if you actually watch that video or that 60 Minutes episode.
00:31:46.684 --> 00:31:55.480
But even just listening to that clip of her, she wasn't all there and I think a lot of it had to do with her upbringing and what she had been through in life.
00:31:55.480 --> 00:32:10.851
You know she was in survival mode and she probably did have a ton of pent-up rage, but in those clips and videos of her you can see she's in distress, just mental and emotional distress.
00:32:10.851 --> 00:32:13.749
So it's a bit sad to be honest.
00:32:13.749 --> 00:32:20.260
Distress, so it's.
00:32:20.260 --> 00:32:22.605
It's a bit sad to be honest, but you know, um, she was ultimately, uh, she wanted to be executed.
00:32:22.605 --> 00:32:27.840
Like she actually made it her attorney's goal, like a I'm trying to get the death penalty.
00:32:27.840 --> 00:32:32.330
So if you could just like get me the death penalty, that would be great.
00:32:32.330 --> 00:32:46.673
Yeah, but in 2001 she ultimately dropped all of her appeals and said she wanted to die and she was executed by lethal injection on October 9th 2002.
00:32:46.673 --> 00:32:57.836
And her final words I'll be back, like Independence Day with Jesus, you actually do a better impression of her than.
00:32:57.856 --> 00:32:57.936
I do.
00:32:57.936 --> 00:32:59.685
All right, hold on, read it to me again.
00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:02.248
I'll be back, like Independence Day.
00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:05.726
I'll be back, like Independence Day I got Jesus with me.
00:33:06.661 --> 00:33:08.367
That's good man, that's pretty good.
00:33:08.367 --> 00:33:10.868
You do a heck of an Eileen Wuornos man.
00:33:10.868 --> 00:33:17.900
You know, at the end, in my, my opinion, she didn't see herself as human anymore.
00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:25.248
She was very apocalyptic and disconnected from reality yeah that's.
00:33:25.387 --> 00:33:32.987
That's trauma or psychosis or or both something I believe it was really.
00:33:32.987 --> 00:33:35.711
I think what we're seeing is is trauma.
00:33:35.711 --> 00:33:53.633
But you know, she she went a lot in these interviews saying at one point she was blaming the police, saying that you know that she was leaving plenty of evidence behind and they didn't do their damn jobs and they should have arrested her and saved all these guys.
00:33:53.633 --> 00:33:54.756
This is their fault, they died.
00:33:55.036 --> 00:33:56.410
Yeah, it wasn't my fault.
00:33:56.410 --> 00:33:59.992
The police, they can't even stop me.
00:33:59.992 --> 00:34:04.172
I was leaving plenty of evidence, they just wasn't catching on to my trail.
00:34:04.874 --> 00:34:05.896
Dude, that is hot.
00:34:05.896 --> 00:34:12.347
I feel like I'm talking to eileen warnos right now.
00:34:12.347 --> 00:34:12.728
That's crazy, man.
00:34:12.728 --> 00:34:13.869
Since when are you so good at that?
00:34:14.130 --> 00:34:17.237
I've always been good at this that's pretty good man.
00:34:18.217 --> 00:34:26.746
But you know, I do want to talk a little bit about with you about, um, oh, you know what, before we get into that, what was her last meal?
00:34:26.746 --> 00:34:29.253
Yeah, dude, she.
00:34:29.253 --> 00:34:32.510
She was kind of a G, I'll give her that man.
00:34:32.510 --> 00:34:46.773
She didn't want a meal, all she wanted was a cup of black coffee and a cigarette, like that's some serial killer stuff right there, dude what.
00:34:46.773 --> 00:34:53.550
Yep, yep, black coffee and a cigarette.
00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:54.494
They gave it to her.
00:34:54.494 --> 00:34:55.836
Yeah, she got it.
00:34:56.905 --> 00:34:57.829
I mean, you got to think about it.
00:34:57.829 --> 00:35:05.974
Most people are requesting all these lavish and expensive last meals, and all she wanted was a cup of black coffee.
00:35:05.974 --> 00:35:07.231
She didn't want creamer in the junk.
00:35:07.525 --> 00:35:08.715
Dude, if I was, was them.
00:35:08.715 --> 00:35:10.648
I feel like some serial killers.
00:35:10.648 --> 00:35:14.105
If they don't want to get executed, they should ask for a fruit that's out of season.
00:35:15.327 --> 00:35:20.887
Think about that oh, do you think like trying to delay it by getting them on some wild goose chase for a fruit?
00:35:21.088 --> 00:35:21.809
december.
00:35:21.809 --> 00:35:23.594
Like there's like no strawberries.
00:35:23.594 --> 00:35:30.585
Like, hey, yo, I want four pounds of strawberries I wonder if anybody's ever tried that before.
00:35:30.585 --> 00:35:37.894
That's pretty funny, I don't know, but like that'd be, like that'd be pretty smart yeah, that's pretty, they probably just say no, pick something else.
00:35:37.976 --> 00:35:39.949
But probably so.
00:35:39.949 --> 00:35:41.012
That's pretty funny, though.
00:35:41.012 --> 00:35:56.146
Uh, yeah, man, it's, she's.
00:35:56.146 --> 00:35:56.949
Uh, eileen was a character, yep for sure.
00:35:56.949 --> 00:36:00.125
Um, I don't, maybe we can knock out her last meal and ted bundy's at the same time, we're gonna need something to drink with our steak and eggs.
00:36:00.125 --> 00:36:17.293
Yeah we're gonna have to do a little bit better job of picking these people, because I've been pretty upset about the last meal selection so far did holmes get one yeah, he had.
00:36:17.293 --> 00:36:19.436
Remember it was hard to exit toast.
00:36:20.478 --> 00:36:24.869
It was lame, bro um like me if I'm requesting last meal.
00:36:24.869 --> 00:36:31.961
I want want shrimp, crab steak, baguette, pasta, breadsticks.
00:36:32.262 --> 00:36:36.380
Exactly Me too, man Chips and salsa, tacos, everything bro.
00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:43.938
Yeah, I don't know what they limited or what, but that's definitely something.
00:36:45.365 --> 00:36:46.608
Even if they do limit it.
00:36:46.608 --> 00:36:48.273
I'm like, let me get a steak.
00:36:48.393 --> 00:36:49.505
Might as well try what you got to lose.
00:36:49.505 --> 00:36:50.527
They're gonna kill you anyway.
00:36:51.369 --> 00:36:59.853
They don't kill you anyway diet man, I do baha blast did that even exist?
00:37:00.092 --> 00:37:02.817
back then, baha blast hold on.
00:37:02.817 --> 00:37:13.365
Let me check no, it didn't, it didn't, it didn't, it didn't.
00:37:13.365 --> 00:37:15.891
So let's 1984 on my bottle, or 1948 Mountain Dew.
00:37:15.891 --> 00:37:17.715
Maybe Mountain Dew Baja Blast ain't been around that long.
00:37:17.715 --> 00:37:18.998
We're gonna have to get back to that.
00:37:18.998 --> 00:37:21.527
But um, you want to rate her?
00:37:21.527 --> 00:37:24.291
We got time to rate her all right, let's do it you.
00:37:24.291 --> 00:37:25.875
You know, there's dude.
00:37:25.875 --> 00:37:29.719
There's some fun facts about this case.
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:32.251
I guess they're fun facts.
00:37:32.251 --> 00:37:39.617
Charlize Theron won an Oscar in a movie where she actually played Eileen Wuornos.
00:37:39.838 --> 00:37:40.940
Oh, for real In the movie, yeah.
00:37:40.965 --> 00:37:41.668
In 2003,.
00:37:41.668 --> 00:37:42.833
The movie was called Monster.
00:37:43.847 --> 00:37:44.590
Was the movie good?
00:37:45.291 --> 00:37:45.733
I guess.
00:37:45.733 --> 00:37:50.197
So If she won an Oscar for it, like that's the highest award you can win as an actress.
00:37:50.197 --> 00:37:57.925
There were documentaries by Nick Broomfield that kind of reveal her unstable mental state.
00:37:57.925 --> 00:38:18.476
She really became this controversial figure because to some she's like this feminist icon, because she was killing guys that deserve to die in their eyes yeah um, but I think she did a really good job of selling that and people didn't know any better.
00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:23.797
Um, you know the other half of those people, of people anyway.
00:38:23.797 --> 00:38:28.670
Uh, thought she was just a cold-blooded killer yeah um, but her.
00:38:28.891 --> 00:38:40.152
Her story actually sparked a lot of debate on mental health and the treatment of women in the justice system, but you know a lot of it.
00:38:40.152 --> 00:38:47.275
It just doesn't make sense to me because I do feel bad for Eileen.
00:38:47.275 --> 00:38:52.215
She was born and didn't have a freaking chance man.
00:38:52.215 --> 00:39:01.715
Every but every man that she knew in her life that was supposed to protect her, was supposed to love her failed failed.
00:39:01.715 --> 00:39:08.577
And not only failed, but they abused her instead yeah, and her father abandoned her right at birth.
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:09.985
Or and her father abandoned her right at birth.
00:39:10.567 --> 00:39:11.811
Her mother abandoned her.
00:39:11.811 --> 00:39:21.436
Her father was abusing kids and went to prison and killed himself, and then her brother was taken up in an inappropriate relationship with her.
00:39:21.436 --> 00:39:23.603
She didn't stand a chance, man.
00:39:23.603 --> 00:39:37.601
I feel bad for her and I want to believe that she was this woman that was going out and killing men that were being mean to sex workers or doing bad things to sex workers.
00:39:37.681 --> 00:39:38.001
Yeah.
00:39:38.905 --> 00:39:40.172
But I just don't think that's the case.
00:39:40.172 --> 00:39:45.574
I want it to be, I really want to be on her side and believe that's true, but I just don't see it.
00:39:46.135 --> 00:39:46.637
Me neither.
00:39:47.344 --> 00:39:48.128
The first guy.
00:39:48.128 --> 00:40:03.311
It's weird to me, man, because she kills that first guy and then seven months goes by, but then after that it was like full speed ahead yeah you know.
00:40:03.311 --> 00:40:24.570
So I wonder you know, maybe she did have you know a reason to kill that first guy, because he had a history of abuse, and then maybe he did do something to her or tried to, and she killed him, which I'm all for that, but what happened after that?
00:40:24.570 --> 00:40:30.257
There's so many things I can sit here and theorize about.
00:40:30.498 --> 00:40:32.641
Greed, in my opinion.
00:40:32.784 --> 00:40:35.514
I don't know if it was greed, because she could steal from anywhere.
00:40:36.724 --> 00:40:37.768
No, I'm talking about killing.
00:40:37.768 --> 00:40:42.172
Maybe, or she got cocked or whatever Did it unlock.
00:40:42.666 --> 00:40:46.155
I mean, did it unlock this rage inside of her?
00:40:46.155 --> 00:40:46.865
I?
00:40:47.289 --> 00:40:47.952
don't know.
00:40:47.972 --> 00:40:49.704
Did he, did he, did he?
00:40:49.704 --> 00:40:51.771
I mean, think about this.
00:40:51.771 --> 00:40:56.782
I mean, this is one thing I go back to is did he actually try to do something to her?
00:40:56.782 --> 00:41:00.474
That was terrible, and it just send her over the freaking edge.
00:41:02.385 --> 00:41:03.148
In my opinion?
00:41:03.148 --> 00:41:06.525
I don't think so, and I think he just had a history.
00:41:06.525 --> 00:41:11.827
So they're like oh well, it must have just been that, so let's just she.
00:41:12.387 --> 00:41:21.748
yeah, like whatever I wish I had the answer to why there was that big break for her is tyria still alive I?
00:41:21.748 --> 00:41:22.909
Don't know.
00:41:22.909 --> 00:41:25.833
Probably this wasn't terribly long ago.
00:41:25.833 --> 00:41:31.931
I'm talking 35 or so years ago, so not too long ago.
00:41:31.931 --> 00:41:35.713
She probably is still alive, but Eileen's not.
00:41:36.273 --> 00:41:36.454
Nope.
00:41:37.016 --> 00:41:37.597
RIP, girl.
00:41:37.597 --> 00:41:41.514
Sorry you had such a crappy life, but you shouldn't have killed all them dudes.
00:41:41.864 --> 00:41:43.030
Yeah, that wasn't nice.
00:41:44.184 --> 00:41:45.349
But you want to raid her.
00:41:45.731 --> 00:41:45.952
Yeah.
00:41:46.085 --> 00:41:47.449
We got some time, we can do that.
00:41:47.469 --> 00:41:48.813
Alright, let's do it.
00:41:49.976 --> 00:41:50.317
All right.
00:41:50.317 --> 00:41:54.577
First category is brutality.
00:41:59.126 --> 00:42:00.509
I'll give her like an eight.
00:42:01.733 --> 00:42:01.932
Eight.
00:42:01.932 --> 00:42:05.429
Yeah, that's pretty solid, I mean realistically.
00:42:05.429 --> 00:42:08.916
She was, in her own words, she would shoot them, dump them.
00:42:08.916 --> 00:42:11.371
Yeah, shoot them up, dump them.
00:42:11.371 --> 00:42:17.871
They just happened to be naked because they were, you know, picking her up as a sex worker.
00:42:17.871 --> 00:42:20.175
Creativeness.
00:42:22.858 --> 00:42:23.498
Like a five.
00:42:24.219 --> 00:42:24.480
Five.
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:36.911
Yeah, Nothing super creative about having a guy pick you up, shooting him, dumping his naked body out on the side of the road.
00:42:36.911 --> 00:42:38.614
Intelligence.
00:42:38.793 --> 00:42:40.878
Zero, zero yeah.
00:42:41.097 --> 00:42:42.320
Why Zero?
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.931
Yes, all right, tell me more about that sword.
00:42:46.465 --> 00:42:50.777
Dude, she messed up in every single way possible, mm-hmm.
00:42:50.777 --> 00:42:53.614
She even admitted she left so much of a trail.
00:42:53.614 --> 00:42:59.235
And, dude, why would you bring your girlfriend with you to the crime you're committing?
00:43:00.056 --> 00:43:00.516
Yeah.
00:43:01.139 --> 00:43:04.219
Yeah, oh yeah, come with me to commit a murder, yeah.
00:43:05.326 --> 00:43:06.228
Makes no sense.
00:43:06.228 --> 00:43:16.512
Yeah yeah, I'm kind of with you there, so I don't think she's going to be very high on the running on our list of serial killer ratings.
00:43:16.612 --> 00:43:23.869
huh I mean, if there's a ranking for like, should we make a gangster ranking?
00:43:23.869 --> 00:43:25.753
She get a 10 in that you want to.
00:43:25.873 --> 00:43:33.773
We're gonna make a, we're gonna substitute a category and put gangsta yeah and put her at a 10 yeah was it?
00:43:33.773 --> 00:43:36.965
Was it the murders themselves, or was it dude?
00:43:36.965 --> 00:43:45.610
The overall picture interviews bro y'all have got to go check out eileen warnos's interviews.
00:43:45.610 --> 00:43:49.382
Like go to youtube and just put her name in there and watch it.
00:43:49.382 --> 00:43:50.786
She's highly entertaining.
00:43:50.786 --> 00:44:01.420
She's obviously going through some kind of mental distress, but, um, you know, like I said, yeah, we were listening to the 60 minutes in the car, australia.
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:03.487
You should definitely listen that dude.
00:44:03.487 --> 00:44:09.737
It was amazing yeah, the 60 minutes dude, I was dying laughing most of the time.
00:44:09.737 --> 00:44:11.965
It was so funny it was pretty funny.
00:44:12.266 --> 00:44:23.213
But, um, you know, to wrap this up, eileen warnos didn't hunt these guys in alleys or dark parks and she wasn't, you know, secretive about it.
00:44:23.213 --> 00:44:24.436
She hunted them on highways.
00:44:24.436 --> 00:44:29.795
She was looking for for men who, in her mind, she deemed as a predator.
00:44:29.795 --> 00:44:31.818
Yeah, and you know.
00:44:31.818 --> 00:44:59.231
But justice, no matter how twisted that road is, doesn't allow revenge killings and in the end, it wasn't the system that saved her, it was the system that executed her and regardless of what, uh, you believe in, as far as this case goes, um, you know, were these men predators?
00:44:59.231 --> 00:45:02.458
Did she just think they were predators?
00:45:02.458 --> 00:45:08.192
Did they give her some sign and trigger her deep, deep trauma?
00:45:08.914 --> 00:45:10.556
or did they just look at her funny?
00:45:11.257 --> 00:45:16.231
maybe, maybe that's all it took with her, but did you just?
00:45:16.251 --> 00:45:20.237
raise your eyebrow it could have been that she was.
00:45:20.237 --> 00:45:34.108
She was in quite a bit of mental distress, uh, towards the end of her life, but, um, the day before her execution she was interviewed and she accused the prison of sonic pressure on her brain.
00:45:34.108 --> 00:45:41.309
So that just kind of goes to show you the mental state that eileen was in.
00:45:41.309 --> 00:46:08.135
And it's unfortunate man because, like I, like I've said several times, I think you know a lot of it's due to the fact that she was born into absolute chaos and the family that was supposed to protect her was ultimately the family that caused her terrible trauma that she was never able to recover from and ultimately led to a lot of murder and a wasted life.
00:46:08.737 --> 00:46:08.938
Yeah.
00:46:09.925 --> 00:46:19.838
So that's all we've got for Eileen Wuornos, and this is a very, very entertaining story, to say the least.
00:46:19.838 --> 00:46:29.005
So check out the movie, check out some of the documentaries that are floating around out there and check out that 60 Min Australia episode for for more information.
00:46:29.005 --> 00:46:33.976
But, like we've said on this podcast before, we like to keep everything pretty brief.
00:46:33.976 --> 00:46:35.585
We give our little opinions.
00:46:35.585 --> 00:47:08.815
We tell a story, um, but invite you to go do your own research, go find out more, go learn more, um, because we just try to fit this into one small, digestible episode where you can get the information, learn a little bit about the case, and you can do it in one commute to work or a couple at the most, instead of breaking it up into I mean, we could really break this story up into seven, eight parts, and same with Bundy and HH Holmes and the same with Israel keys all the episodes that we've done so far.
00:47:08.894 --> 00:47:22.465
But yeah, um, we appreciate you listening to us, um, just a dad and his kid trying to, you know, do something that's entertaining to us, and we're also learning a lot, um, and it's something that we enjoy doing together.
00:47:22.465 --> 00:47:31.793
So we hope that you guys get some entertainment about, you know, out of the things we're doing on this podcast and I hope you keep tuning in.
00:47:31.793 --> 00:47:44.347

Stranger danger.
00:48:02.146 --> 00:48:06.817
Yo did she really say at least she didn't chop their penis off and put it in their mouth.
00:48:06.817 --> 00:48:12.539
