Aileen Wuornos, a serial killer executed in 2002, appeared in Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. Wuornos was portrayed by Sarah Paulson while Borden is played by Ella Beatty in the show that premiered September 17.
Moore mostly stayed out of public light after the 1992 testimony against Wuornos. Wuornos allegedly confided in Moore after the first murder but she didn’t engage in the conversation and also did not want to discuss the topic, LA Times reported. Because i didn’t have another choice: I’d got warrants out for my arrest,” Wuornos had said as per the Sun-Sentinel, i did what I had to do to pay the bills,.
Wuornos would later describe Moore as ‘the love of my life’ as per Los Angeles Times. The couple faced financial struggles after Moore quit her job and Wuornos tried to support her via money from sex work. They moved from town to town, staying in trailers and motels. “The only reason I hustled so hard all those years was to support her. However, as Wuornos went on to kill six more of her clients, Moore began to grow suspicious. She ended the relationship with Wuornos and moved back with her parents. I wanted to make sure that I got home alive—so I’d be another day breathing with her,” as shown in Netflix’s Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers. Interestingly, in Netflix’s Lizzie Borden story, they explore a possible homosexual relationship between Borden and the family maid, Bridget Sullivan .
Meanwhile, Wuornos also said “We became lovers, and it later turned into a sister-like relationship,” speaking of Moore, as per the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Wuornos said of Moore “I loved her so bad. [She’s the] only reason I carried that darn gun. As per reports, Sullivan had later said that she helped Borden during the trial, in which the latter was acquitted of her parents’ murders. In August, that year, there was a Dateline episode titled “Damsel of Death,” where both Moore and Wuornos were interviewed.
