Can you imagine living a life where nobody in the whole world...has ever loved you? No parent, no friend, no relative...nobody. 💔
-
This is the only killer I've ever felt sorry for, she was betrayed by everyone she ever loved and I can't help but wonder what life would have been like for her had she found her happiness
-
I don't see evil in Aileen, I see a tragic story amid awful circumstances. Someone truly struggling. Be at peace Aileen
-
This comment section made my heart happy. I too truly felt compassion for her. May she finally be at peace.
-
The fact that Aileen had more execution requests than Ted Bundy did really disturbs me
-
Last thing her mother says: "I think I'll sleep better" (when she's dead). Kind of sums it all up right there doesn't it? She says that she never knew that Aileen was out sleeping in the snow. I guess maybe she should of inquired.
-
I usually can't feel any compassion for a murderer... But for her. She never had a chance. Never felt a loving hug, just tortured ridiculed and taken advantage of. I hope she has peace now... a very sad story.
-
Thanks for making her human, Nick. No one else has taken the time or care to do that.
-
How this woman was ever deemed competent to stand trial baffles me. She was let down by everyone including the justice system.
-
The mother is a disgrace. She knows exactly what she did. She abandoned her daughter and didn't care what happened to her. Alot of people should never have children
-
She's a perfect example of how we are products of our environments. She never knew love or kindness. She was left to fend for herself in a world that doesn't want or need you if don't have anything. Watching this made my heart hurt for her. She had to put herself in these situations to survive. Nobody tried to help her. Those men put themselves in these situations purposely. They were not victims, they were re predators. Shame on them. Shame on our justice system and shame on Humanity.

My mother was evil, had a degree in psychology and criminology and was an abusive alcoholic to me for 24 years and I gotta say, as a victim, I see Alieen's eyes and all I see is frustration and pain. She's the only serial killer I felt so bad for. She was turned into a monster by society and she didn't deserve to be put to death. It's unfortunate how we push and push and push until people snap, and then we point the finger at them, instead of taking accountability for our OWN actions. Very sad story....

I think Tyra was a very selfish, evil person. She knew Eileen would do anything for her and so she used her for her own benefit. Eileen’s life was a horror show and no one cared, so sad 😞
-
RIP honestly.I really appreciate Nick for literally being Aileen's friend when she needed one the most. you can tell when she sees him how happy she is, her face lights up. he kept up with her and she clearly cares about him and I think it's mutual. she was failed at every turn. she deserved better. I wish the world had been kinder to her. rip.
-
Ya know, Aileen didn't stand a chance from a very young age. My heart is breaking for young Aileen and how cruelly she was treated. Craving love, taking the only attention she could get. That one man who stoned her was a REAL SOB. Her whole life was just tragic.
-
From the moment she was born, the clock started ticking of betrayal - The people in Lee’s life & the world around her. RIP so sorry Eileen
-
That moment at 16:00 when they're watching the clip of her lawyer and she tries not to laugh is so weirdly relatable and humanizing. She reminds me of so many people I've met that could have been like her, they just got a little luckier in life and didn't make the choices she made. Her whole case is upsetting all around.
-
So much appreciation for Nick and how kind he was to her. I don’t believe this woman ever new what it was like to be loved and cared for. She was in survival mode her whole life. My heart truly breaks for what this woman went through. Aileen I hope you are resting in peace.
-
I feel so sorry for her, i wish she was alive now to see how many people really see her side of the story and understand her. 😢
-
Aileen deserved better in life. You're remembered today Aileen Carol "Lee" Wournos 1956 - 2002 Rest in eternal peace✝️💐
