Executed Florida serial killer Aileen Wuornos letter/envelope set.
This auction is for a letter from 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. Her last words were, "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 missive is five pages on five sheets, dated 12/27/1993, and is signed, "Aileen." Wuornos has signed her name, "Aileen Wuornos," and address at the top of the first page. There's religious talk here, lots of family background. The original mailing envelope is postmarked twice, one 12/22/1993 and 12/26/1993. I know, I know, how could that be? And if the letter was written 12/27/1993 none of those dates seem to work. This is how I purchased the letter. The letter and envelope come inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board and have been stored flat. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
