By the spring of 1990, Aileen Wuornos had killed once and gotten away with it. So she kept going. In part two of three episodes on Aileen Wuornos, Katie Ring traces the six men killed after Richard Mallory: who they were, what happened to them, and how investigators across multiple Florida counties began to realize they were dealing with something entirely new. All while Aileen's girlfriend Tyria had no idea how close the murder investigation was getting. From a crashed car on the Fourth of July to a pawn shop fingerprint, this is how Aileen’s killing spree finally began to catch up with her. This episode contains descriptions of physical and sexual assault, abuse, and murder. Please listen with care.

[suspenseful music] This is Crime House.
Katie Ring· Host0:08
By the spring of 1990, Aileen Wuornos had killed a man and gotten away with it, so she kept going. Over the next several months, she killed five more men, and then in November of 1990, a sixth. Each time, she carefully covered her tracks. Each time, she got away, and each time, the investigation inched a little closer to her without quite getting there. But she finally made one mistake that left something behind she couldn't erase. Today, I'll tell you about the victims, the investigation that slowly began to connect the dots, and the moment Aileen Wuornos' face appeared on every television set in Florida. [suspenseful music] Every crime tells a story about the people involved, the system that tried to stop it, and the nation that couldn't look away. Some cases are so shocking, so deeply woven into who we are, that decades later, we're still asking, how did this happen? I'm Katie Ring, and this is America's most infamous crimes. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I'll take you deep into cases that have a lasting imprint on society and still haunt us today. I wanna thank you for being part of the Crime House community.
