Starting in late 1989 through November 1990, seven men in and around Marion County, Florida fell victim to an elusive serial killer.
As detectives slowly pieced together the evidence, they discovered the killer they were after was a woman named Aileen Wuornos.
Her subsequent arrest and trial would forever solidify her place in history as America's most notorious female serial killer.
Now, Mind of a Monster features chilling new insights into Wuornos's life and personality, utilising personal letters and drawings from Aileen herself to help paint a picture of the twisted motives behind her deadly actions.
The details of Aileen's crimes are laid out through new interviews with those closest to the case, including members of the Marion County Police Department, members of the defence and prosecution teams, forensic specialists, family members of the victims, and most notably, Aileen's best friend Dawn Botkins.
Botkins saved the letters and drawings Aileen sent her while incarcerated and shares them throughout the special, providing insight into Aileen's complicated thought process surrounding the crimes.
Aileen Wuornos: Mind of a Monster reveals the most intimate look into Wuornos' life from beginning to end, from her troubled childhood to her eventual transformation into a prolific serial killer.
