WHERE HAS AILEEN WUORNOS KILLED PEOPLE?
Killed on this
state
● Florida
Victim #1
Richard C. Mallory
Age 51, electronics store owner in Clearwater. Killed: November 30, 1989.
For me this is the most important victim of Aileen, because he was the first victim
meaning something about him made her snap.
Aileen claimed that Mallory beat, raped, and sodomized her after he drove her to an
abandoned area for sexual requests. Mallory was Aileen´s first victim and she claimed
to have killed him in self-defense. Later, it became known that Mallory had
previously been convicted for attempted rape in Maryland. So it is very likely that
Aileen was telling the truth.

Wuornos in a seedy biker bar in January 1991. With

tried to rape her and she killed them in
self-defense.
