Summary

According to The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology, only around 16% of all serial killers are female. In fact, they are so rare that even the man credited with coining the term "serial killer," FBI profiler Robert K. Ressler, did not discuss female killers at all in his research. As he said in his 1992 book Whoever Fights Monsters, there has been only one female that "has been arrested and accused as a serial killer — Aileen Wuornos."Aileen was not just an exception to the rule of serial killers being mostly white males in their twenties or thirties, but she also did not fit the typical characteristics of female serial killers. Aileen killed outdoors instead of at home, used a gun instead of poison, and killed strangers instead of friends or family. Still, in a letter to her friend Dawn, Aileen said he never wanted to kill in the first place. So what drove her to take the lives of seven men and eventually becoming a monster as we know her today?

0:06.5	Discretion is advised.
0:09.2	People are dead after deputies say a man went on a shooting rampage.
0:13.2	I knew a week before she died was going to kill her.
0:16.3	I can tell you the scene out there is absolutely horrific.

0:24.2	This is 10-minute murder. Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime. I'm Joe,
0:34.6	I'm the host, and thank you for joining today. And before we get started, let me quickly let you know about something.
0:40.7	I've been contacted several times about this, so I figure it's worth at least mentioning.
0:45.1	I don't know if it's 100% true or not, but better safe than sorry.
0:49.5	It's possible that people are trying to either carjack or kidnap women by breaking an egg on their
0:57.1	windshield. That sounds strange, so let me explain. Let's say you're a lady, you get in your car,
1:03.3	and someone runs up and cracks an egg right on your windshield, like smashes the egg on your
1:07.3	windshield. Your two instinctual thoughts would probably be to either turn on the
1:12.2	windshield wipers or get out of your car and figure out what this guy's doing. And both of those
1:17.9	are the wrong move because obviously you get out of your car, boom, you got got. And if you flip on
1:23.1	your windshield wipers, then you've smeared that egg and you can't see to drive off. So the recommendation is to put that thing in drive and get out of there. Now, I'll be honest, it does sound a little bit urban legendy to me, like someone's just making some stuff up. But now you know, if someone does this to you, don't turn your windshield wipers on, and Lord have mercy, don't get out of your car. Look at me delivering PSAs
1:45.5	like some kind of concerned citizen. Is this how you get a key to the city? I've always wanted a
1:51.0	key to the city. Today we're going to be talking about another serial killer for spooky season.
1:57.0	And this serial killer happens to be a non-male serial killer, which is highly unusual, which we will go into.
