In November 1989, Aileen Wuornos shot and killed Richard Mallory on a stretch of Florida highway. What the prosecution called cold-blooded murder, Wuornos called survival. That gap — between killer and victim fighting back — is where this chapter begins.

Before Florida, there was Michigan. Wuornos was born in Rochester in 1956 to a family that offered her nothing but harm. Her father, a convicted child molester, died by suicide in prison before she ever met him. Her mother abandoned her before she was four. The grandparents who took her in were not a refuge — her grandfather was violent and abusive, and the home itself was the danger. By eleven she was trading sex for food. By thirteen she had been raped. At fourteen she gave birth alone and had her son taken from her. At fifteen, her grandfather put her out on the street.

She hitchhiked to Florida and survived for over a decade through sex work along the highways and motels of the state. Then in 1986 she met Tyria Moore at a South Daytona bar, and for the first time she had something that felt like a chosen life — a partner, a shared home, something worth holding onto.

That context matters when examining Richard Mallory. His prior conviction for a sexual offense was never presented to the jury. Wuornos' self-defense claim — consistent until she recanted under trial pressure — was dismissed. Six more men would die before her arrest in 1990. The case against her was built quickly. Whether it was built completely is the question this episode refuses to let close.
