Overview

Aileen Wuornos: Damsel of Death re-examines the crimes and life of one of America’s most notorious female killers, drawing on FBI case files and testimony from Brian Jarvis, the lead detective who investigated Wuornos and questioned her following her arrest. Beginning with the murder of Richard Mallory in Florida in November 1989, the documentary traces a series of killings that left seven men dead over the following 11 months. As bodies were discovered along Florida’s highways, all shot multiple times, investigators began searching for the person responsible.
