Has there ever been a woman serial killer?

If you only knew

Aileen 'Lee' Carol Wuornos
Born: February 29, 1956 as Aileen Carol Pittman
Birthplace: Rochester, Michigan, USA
Died: October 9, 2002 - execution by lethal injection

Aileen admitted to killing seven men, including a missionary. She was only convicted of killing six men because the missionary's body was never found.

They made a movie about her story called "Monster" Starring Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci, Bruce Dern in 2003. Get out there and rent it.

Yes, they are just not as common as male serial killers.
Most female serial killers are known as black widow's like the deadly spider - pretty to look at but oh so deadly.

Kevin

Im sure there has been. kinda dumb question though.

I have a ?

yes, Aileen Wuornos. Remember they made a movie about her called "Monster" and Charlize Theron played her.

Wondering and answering

yes

Gray

At least 62 of them.

Fez's World

probably there has to be one

Southern B

yes, charlize theron played one in that monster movie, which was a true story.

KING BYRD

Yes of course, women are just slow killers, they run you crazy first.

Deviously Devious

Yes, actually. I've read in an article that a captured (by police) woman serial killer said that she killed "so women serial killers can be taken more seriously."

Sooty

Yes, I am sure there are but they may not be so notorious because they know how to keep a low profile. Most probably like most women, they know when enough is enough and call it quits without being caught.

koyotee

Yep. Our victims are equal opportunity.

Hussein for President

There have been a lot. Here is a list of famous female serial killers with short bios on them.

I actually wondered that myself. There have always been male killers, but I don't think I've heard of a woman killer. I'm sure there has been a couple female killers, but it's mostly a male thing. Actually....now that I think about it, I've heard of a woman who killed her husband with an ax and left him in a car. This happened in my sub-division. Scary.

This is the most Answers I've ever seen for one question.

And of course there's a website for Female Serial Killers....

f u n k.

Yes there are many
and most of them kill male acquaintances for money, they're cheating on them and like men if they feel their ego is being crushed down .

Most women rather poison there victim rather than use a shot gun and some choose to pay someone to do the job for them
reasoning why Aileen is famous for actually using a handgun.

Guess what! there are even kid serial killers like Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.
