Aileen Wuornos, often referred to as the first female serial killer, was convicted in the state of Florida. Her crimes, which included the murders of seven men in 1989 and 1990, took place largely in and around central Florida. Wuornos was apprehended, tried, and ultimately sentenced to death in Florida. The state of Florida is also the location where her trial and subsequent appeals occurred, leading to her execution in 2002. Her case garnered significant media attention due to her status as a female serial killer, which is relatively uncommon, and has since been the subject of various documentaries and dramatizations. This context highlights the importance of understanding crime and media representation in specific geographical locales, particularly in how such cases influence public perception and the legal system.
