The two were married in 1976, but Fell annulled the union shortly thereafter, upon Wuornos being arrested in another altercation. She was arrested during the mid-1970s for charges related to assault and disorderly conduct and eventually settled in Florida, where she met wealthy yachtsman Lewis Fell. Having previously been a ward of the state, Wuornos subsisted on a vagabond existence as an adult, hitchhiking and engaging in sex work to survive. During her adolescence, Wuornos was also forced out of her home and lived in the woods. She became pregnant by her early teens, and the infant boy was given up for adoption. Wuornos would later state that she was sexually abused by her grandfather and had sexual relations with her brother. Yet Wuornos’ grandmother was alleged to be an alcoholic and her grandfather a terrifying, violent force. The young Wuornos experienced horrifying tumult during her childhood: Her father killed himself while serving prison time for child molestation, while her mother abandoned Wuornos and her older brother Keith, leaving them to be raised by their grandparents.
Wuornos was born on February 29, 1956, in Rochester, Michigan, growing up in the nearby Troy area to the south. In addition to documentaries, books and an opera, her story was depicted in the 2003 film Monster. Though her sanity was questioned, Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in 2002. She went on to kill at least five other men and was eventually caught, convicted and placed on death row. Having been involved in previous incidents with the law, she made a living as a sex worker on Florida's highways, and in 1989, she killed a man who had picked her up.
