Wuornos can be classified into more than one group such as a pyschopath, non-social offender, disorganized asocial offender, and a hedonistic killer. She inherited psychotic ways from her father. She is self-centered and a very good liar. She is classified as a disorganized asocial offender because of her low IQ. Her home life as a child was not very good and her parents were never around to raise her, she ended up dropping out of school. Every crime that she committed she showed premeditation because she sought out her victim’s and brought a weapon with her. She is a comfort killer where she gains something from killing.
On July 4th, 1990 Wuornos abandoned Peter Siems ‘ car after being involved in an accident. Witnesses that saw the woman driving provided police with their names and descriptions. This resulted in a media campaign to locate them. Police found some of the victims belongings in a near- by pawn shop. The police were able to retrieve fingerprints matching the ones found in the car. Wuornos fingerprints were on file. On January 9, 1991 Wuornos was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Psychiatrists testified that Wuornos was mentally unstable and was borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Four days later she was sentenced to death. On March 31, 1992 she pleaded no contest to the murders of another three victims. She was then sentenced to three more death sentences. Then in June 1992 Wuornos pleaded guilty to the murder of Charles Carskaddon in November she got her fifth death sentence. In February 1993 she pleaded guilty to the murder of Walter Jeno Antonio and was sentenced to death again. In total she received six death sentences. Her story of why she committed the murders changed very often. It went from being self-defence to robbery to desire to leave no witnesses.
Wuornos was incarcerated at the Florida Department of Corrections Broward Correctional Institution on death row for women. She was transferred to Florida State Prison for execution. In 2001 she stated she was going to dismiss her legal counsel and terminate all pending appeals. She said “There’s no chance in keeping me alive or anything, because I’d kill again.”. In 2002 Wuornos’ began accusing prison matrons of putting dirt, salvia, and urine in her food. She said she overheard prison personnel saying that they were trying to push me to the brink of committing suicide before the execution. Wuornos execution occurred on October 9, 2002, she died at 9:47 AM. She requested KFC and fries as her last meal. She was the tenth woman in the United States and the second in Florida to be executed.
