    There was a woman serial killer of only men. I think the last name is spelled Wuornos. Aileen was caught, convicted and sentenced to death. Has she been executed yet? Note: Charlize Theron played her in a movie.

    Question #109992. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Oct 20 09 10:06 PM)

    Aileen Carol Wuornos (February 29, 1956 – October 9, 2002) was an American serial killer who killed seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990, later claiming they raped or attempted to rape her while she was working as a prostitute. She was convicted and sentenced to death for six of the murders, and executed via lethal injection on October 9, 2002.

    On 9th October 2002, the date of her execution, she declined her right to a final meal of her choice. Her final words were reported to have been: “I'd 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.”

    The sentence was carried out at 9:47 a.m., and she became only the tenth woman in the United States to be executed, since capital punishment had been reinstated in 1976.

    Her remains were cremated, and her ashes were buried in her hometown of Rochester, Michigan.

    In 2003 actress Charlize Theron won the Best Actress Academy award for her portrayal of Wuornos in the film ‘Monster’.
