Aileen Wuornos
Also known as Cammie Marsh Greene, Susan Lynn Blahovec, Aileen Carol Wuornos, Lori Kristine Grody
Aileen Carol Wuornos was an American serial killer. Between 1989 and 1990, while engaging in street prostitution along highways in Florida, Wuornos shot, killed, and robbed seven of her male clients. She initially claimed that her victims had either raped or attempted to rape her, and that the homicides were committed in self-defense, but later abandoned this defense. Wuornos was sentenced to death for six of the murders and was executed in 2002 after spending more than ten years on Florida's death row.

Aileen Carol Pittman, conhecida como Aileen Wuornos, (Rochester, 29 de fevereiro de 1956 — Bradford County, 9 de outubro de 2002), foi uma assassina em série e prostituta dos Estados Unidos, condenada por sete assassinatos entre 1989 e 1990. Wuornos afirmava que agiu em legítima defesa, se protegendo quando os clientes tentaram estuprá-la, embora ela constantemente mudasse seus relatos dos acontecimentos. Ela foi presa em janeiro de 1991 e recebeu seis sentenças de morte, nos julgamentos que foram de 1992 a 1993. Wuornos foi executada em outubro de 2002, na Prisão Estadual da Flórida, via injeção letal.
