On this weeks episode we are discussing the crimes of Aileen Carol Wuornos. Aileen shot and robbed seven men/clients while prostituting along highways in Florida.

After her arrest she claimed to have slept with over 200,000 men, was raped nine times, and was beaten up more times than she could count.
