KILLER WOMEN: Aileen Wuornos and Misty Witherspoon - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *Aileen Wuornos*Misty Witherspoon 2 Great Books in 1! Aileen Wuornos Between 1976 and 2002, over 800 murderers were executed for their crimes in the United States. Only ten of these eight hundred were women. The tenth female murderer to be executed for her crimes in 2002 was Aileen Wuornos. Wuornos was the first female who ever fit the profile of that the FBI considers a serial killer. According to the FBI, a serial murder consists of three of more killings over a certain amount of time that have common characteristics. Often, these murderers, after being caught, display a certain type of causality and lack of regret for their crime. Between 1989 and 1990, the bodies of seven men were discovered in central Florida. These were the victims of Aileen Wuornos. Wuornos killed them by shooting them at point-blank range. In the case of every single victim, Wuornos claimed that they had either raped or attempted to rape her. Wuornos was working as a prostitute, and suggests that all of the homicides were committed in self-defense. Aileen was convicted and sentenced to death for six of the seven murders and was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002. This is her story. Misty Witherspoon Murder is often thought of as a male crime. While women do kill it is often depicted as a crime committed in the heat of the moment, or is described as a crime of passion. It is accepted that women may kill if their own life or the life of another, particularly their child, is in danger. It is also not unheard of for a woman, fearing for her life and trapped in an abusive situation, to see the murder of her abuser as her only means of escape. But for a woman to kill in cold blood is rare. It is rarer still for that murder to have been coldly planned and plotted before hand. Even when a woman does commit murder in these situations the gun is not often her weapon of choice. The gun seems to belong in the arsenal of the cold blooded, male murderer. A female killer is far more likely to use some form of poison or other subtlety to end the life of their victim. As a result of their rarity women who do commit cold blooded, premeditated murder, women such as the Countess Elizabeth Bathroy or Aileen Wuornos, are often held in a particular notoriety. It seems that Misty Witherspoon, a bubbly, out going, caring mother and regular churchgoer from the town of Mooresville in Irdell County, North Carolina is destined to belong in this category.

Black DahliaThe sun rose over Los Angeles that Wednesday morning in 1947, and a light breeze from the southeast ruffled the hair of Betty Bersinger and her three-year-old as they took a walk down South Norton Avenue in the Leimert Park neighborhood in southern Los Angeles. It was just two weeks into a new year, January 15, 1947. WWII had been over for almost two years, and dawn was breaking on the cold war. Harry Truman was president. He'd taken charge of the country after Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in 1945, and the country was beginning the push back against the communist ideals of the USSR. It's a Wonderful Life had just debuted at Christmas 1946, and nobody knew it would grow to be a classic. The Old Lamplighter by Sammy Kaye and his Orchestra was at the top of the Billboard charts, but swing music was on its way out, soon to be replaced by doo-wop, pop, and rock and roll. Los Angeles was in a real estate boom. G.I.s home from the war were using the new G.I. Bill to buy vacant lots waiting to be transformed into subdivisions with houses to raise the children who would become the Baby Boomers. Betty Bersinger noticed a white discarded store mannequin laying in a scraggly, undeveloped lot near the side walk; its top half separated from the bottom half. A closer look revealed two things. The discarded mannequin was actually the naked body of a woman who'd been cut cleanly in half, and the discovery would become one of the grisliest, most notorious murders ever committed in the United States. It's been 70 years, and still--no one knows who did it.
