0.25 grams of Wuornos' cremated remains in a silver locket with chain.
This auction is for a small portion of worldly remains of the executed Florida serial killer Aileen Carol Wuornos (2/29/1956 – 10/9/2002). Aileen Wuornos was a female serial killer who killed seven men from 1989 to 1990. She claimed during several trials that the killings were in self-defense, that her victims were would-be attackers and she the victim. Unfortunately for Wuornos, none of the members of any of her juries believed that story and she was sentenced to death on multiple counts. Her case was largely celebrated in the press and continues to be the focus of media coverage. Aileen Wuornos was executed 10/9/2002. When asked if she had any last words she stated, "Yes, I would just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I'll be back, I'll be back." She was 46.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The ashes come in a sold sterling silver locket with chain. The ashes weigh 0.25 grams. The ashes were directly obtained from Aileen's childhood friend Dawn Botkins. The locket comes with a COA, which reads, "This is a portion of Aileen Wuornos' remaining ashes that I did not sprinkle under her tree. The tree on the urn represents her life. Please care for these as I have done for many years." The certificate is signed, "Dawn Botkins." I don't suppose I need to explain how rare and unique of an item this is. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
