i know she's narrating the story of a serial killer but she has a very relaxing voice
Better then Shane and Ryan.
She really does
Ikr! I would listen to her voice to go to sleep.
@@hatenate2070 nah she good an all bit she don't have the charm and humour
@@renz_3084 pay him no attention look at his last comment a pure hater
There's always a trauma involved in the making of a serial killer mostly childhood trauma and in this case it was just horrible and sad at the same time.
Even though she turned out to be a serial killer, I still can't help but feel sorry for her because of how she was treated as a child and no one really cared about her. Even her grandparents because they were alcoholics. She was also abused and no one helped her which is so sad.
I agree, I wish they would have helped her but they did nothing for her in her life.
No child should have to go through that. Imagine if she had not gone through what she did, she'd probably end up with a normal life.
@@ESCL2004 I know. She had a horrible childhood. She didn't deserve any of it and I
think it's what caused her to go down a dark path because of how she ended up.
This is an example of someone’s environment creating a psychopath verses being born one.
Criminals are made, not born.
@@GummyDinosaursify and you know this because... ...
@@leeann4743 It's easy to see that most serial killers are the result of abusive upbringings, do some reading up
@@happysumo8138 I agree with you but I also have read of serial killers that have seemingly normal upbringings. I take exception to the statement "criminals are made, not born." No one really knows if that is always true.
Well, actually, you are born a psychopath but if you have a normal and loving upbringing, you can turn out to be just a normal person and not straight up a serial killer. Sociopathy and other mental disorders are formed when someone receives maltreatment during childhood and adolescence. None of these categories of people are necessarily "bound" to become killers. They just perceive the world differently... More defensively, maybe even aggressively... Because of the abuse they received as children...
I research Aileen extensively and I feel very sorry for her. She had a horrible childhood and tried hard to be "normal" but she just couldn't get there. I feel for her victims and the families. She just couldn't put value in men because she had been abused by them a lot
Yes. Her upbringing was brutal. If anybody was turned into a psychopath it was her.
Our country creates monsters because we are more interested in vengeance than prevention. There were so many points at which someone could have intervened. What she did wasn't justifiable. What was done to her also was not justifiable. Prevent one and we could have prevented both. But that isn't sexy, we want the hero walking coolly away from an explosion. Destruction is baked into our approach to family and domestic violence.
we all make choices. Not everyone who had her type of childhood went on to be murderers. She chose to kill .
Biased. A lot of serial killers have tragic and horrible upbringings including males and the fact that you change your stance when the sex is changed is very hypocritical. So all the serial male killers who chose women as victims because they had abusive mothers and women around them should receive any kind of sympathy? I see no sympathy for any serial killers including her. But you choose to be sympathetic to her out of everyone else. I wonder why
I suppose her childhood was really bad and I can understand why we would feel even a bit sorry for her. She didn't deserve any of the abuse but at the end of the day killing is killing and all killers will have to pay the consequences.
I actually went to the bar that she was caught at and they have a little shrine. They also sell bumper stickers that read "cold beer and killer women" 🤣
Well damn....
Bruh… lol
Ha hahaha!
She wasn’t “found asleep” on a car seat outside the bar. There’s actual footage of her being arrested at the bar. It was on a documentary on Netflix about serial killers.
heyy which documentary is that?
What's the doc name??
Honestly I could believe that she may have truly viewed it as self defense. She’d been assaulted several times as a child and never got any help for the trauma of that, if she had PTSD or something from the childhood assaults and was later triggered by the sexual situations she was in, she might have very well thought she was being attacked and reacted upon the trauma she was reliving when she killed them. I’m not saying she was morally in the right, but I don’t necessarily think she was lying about perceiving the men as a threat
From her perspective it definitely was a form of self defence, which probably made her so furious when the rest of the world didn’t see it that way. All around it’s a very tragic case. There are only victims in this situation
I like how the main program on the UNSOLVED channel is a series about solved crimes and how they caught em
The fact that she only had a cup of black coffee instead of her final meal is a boss move
I hated the reaction at the time, that people were celebrating that she got the death sentence and framed her to be a, well, monster. While there's no doubt she is a murderer and likely a sociopath, I have sympathy for her story. Obviously not as much sympathy as for the victims and their families, but Aileen was failed and abused by pretty much everyone she came in contact with, and it's understandable how someone like her might snap at any time. I do believe that she thought those johns were all evil, and acted out her helplessness and rage on them. I just feel like none of that had to happen, that it could have been easily preventable with a concerned party intervening at any point and taking an interest in her health and welfare.
I celebrated.
Yes she was raised to be a manster, but she did bad things, and was happy doing them.
At least half of all serial killers have some kind of genuinely messed-up back-story. Henry Lee Lucus was beaten and sexually abused by his mother, who prostituted herself in front of him, dressing Henry in girl's clothes, and letting her "clients" abuse him, too.
Yet people don't give Lucas, or other killers a pass because of their tragic childhoods (as they shouldn't)... so why does Wurnos?
Child abuse is tragic... but it's also tragically common; There are THOUSANDS of adults who had childhoods like Wurnos', or even worse- Who still manage to NOT grow up to sadistically murder people.
Suffering childhood abuse is bad... but it doesn't excuse multiple murders, EVEN for women (since that apparently makes all the difference, for some reason...), believe it or not.
@@luvely1062 Why though? She killed her abusers, didn't she?
@@gesildarodrigues6986 she claimed to kill people who wanted to kill her, but she never killed her abusers.
I was always obsessed with this case. I've always had empathy and sympathy for her. They failed her from the moment she was born and continued to do so throughout her life. She had a sad, traumatic life.
Right, because she is a woman.
There are male serial killers who have had far worse childhood abuse stories yet don't get any sympathy
@@slickrick2420 huh? I'm sorry no1 is giving you sympathy for being a man. Man up Rick!
@@robbb416 it goes both ways, these are the double standards I hate.
She did have a pretty sad, sick childhood and it pretty much got worse from there. Male or female, child abuse doesn't do anyone any good.
Aileen deserved better
This girl narrating is named Mei she is on another channel called as/is I’m shocked to see her on here! In a good way. On the other channel in the past she has been super shy and anxious so I’m seeing so much growth! Proud of you Mei! Hope you see this!
Yo she's hella beautiful..
@@koolsanthony623 she has a gf
@@Collegestudent23 ohhhh, well I mean I didn't wanna get at her, I was just stating my opinion..
@@koolsanthony623 I didn’t mean it like that I just mean I think she has no interest in men. But yeah she is pretty
thank you so much 🥺🥺
The lady who adopted her just adopted her to benefit from her. It's sad all along how she suffered all her life. Some people are just born unlucky.
i love her voice, so relaxing and soothing to hear
Now I'm slightly concerned about the fact that my given name sounds not dissimilar from Aileen Wuornos and that I was born in mid-1991 when this media circus would've been happening. I guess if I had to be named for a serial killer there's worse ones to be named for. I feel sorry for her more than anything.
Have you asked your parents about this?
@@iremfrat7771 I haven't, and I'm not sure I should
@@yaboicolleen Why not? If not directly about the murderer, you could ask where they got the inspiration for the name.
The movie Monster is the best film I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s very emotional and the acting is some of the best of all time imo.
@Amina & Hiba Show hail Satan!
Great series! Wanted to know how Aileen was caught. Thanks
“on december 13, 1989”
swifties: 🤭
Wuornos might be the only serial killer who’s actions I can somewhat understand
Aileen Wuornos is the only serial I have sympathy for :(
Totally agree with you
Right, because she is a woman.
There are male serial killers who have had far worse childhood abuse stories yet don't get any sympathy
Me too. I wish they had not given her the death penaltly.
@@victoriahaas9364 Why?
@@slickrick2420 Because I don't believe in it and she did not deserve it. she deserved life in prison for her crimes but not the death penalty. I felt really bad for her. She had a terrible life from the moment she was born.
What a great voice Mei has; it definitely made the video better!!
I love Mei's voice, this was a good video
I have always felt sorry for Aileen, she never had a chance.
The majority of serial killers are created by abusive upbringing, but not everyone who is abused becomes a serial killer. At then end of the day they still made the conscious choice to kill people, they don't deserve sympathy
Lmao 🤣
I think she might have been one of the most unlucky people to be born.
she was born on leap year 2/29
I have no sympathy. One killing out of self-defense is one thing. But she chose this life. I had a horrific childhood. I chose to rise above it.
I have a lot of sympathy for her. Some sources state that she suffered from BPD and that's a nightmare disorder to have, it's almost impossible to function. I probably also would have ended up on the street if my parents, as abusive as they are, wouldn't have the upper middle class income that allows me to get treatment for my own BPD.
Just to be clear, Rochester MI is an extremely nice city in Michigan. We have a lot of run down regions, but that's not one of them.
This is interesting!
its horrifying knowing that human beings who aren't even given a proper shot at life can go down this path not all serial killers but a good majority of them end up committing their crimes due to lack of guidance, no parents being involved in their lives, or they themselves get abused, s-xually assaulted, aileen wasn't rocking with a full deck of cards you can just tell from how she spoke/carried herself she needed help everybody does but for her to not have that she was robbed at life so she decided to rob others of theirs
This was well done. You should give yourselves more time in the credits though. Those names just fly by when you show them all in less than 4 seconds.
Where can I hear more of her???? She has a great beautiful voice 😍💜
Great video!
What a funny picture to use when today Rochester, Michigan is one of the wealthiest cities in Michigan.
I live in Volusia county and even after all these years. It’s still a topic of discussion.
Great video.
I like seeing a person talking occasionally. I don't know why, but it makes a difference.
now this series can at least fill my emptiness after ghoul bros left
I recommend everyone watches the film monster. Charlize Theron gave the best performance I've ever seen from a woman in a leading roll. It's a fantastic movie
Watch Nick Broomfield documentary, its a remarkable story *
Yea I saw that one , have you ever watched the movie "THE TALL MAN" starring JESSICA BIEL it's a good movie 🍿 idk why that came to mind but it's a good movie you just are shocked at the end
Fascinating, nature or nurture or lack of nurture
weird fact: i have the same name as her w/ the exact same spelling (Aileen), and i was born on Oct. 4, 2002, five days before she was executed
i always bring this up whenever someone asks me to give them a weird fact about me 🤣
oh really
Now that’s wild. If that’s true.
A slight critique: showing the narrator when she's listing off information is distracting and it would've helped the viewer more if the information she was saying was displayed onscreen so that the viewer can better comprehend the story being told.
I felt the same way. Around the middle time I realized I didn't comprehend a word she said. Plus the pace felt too fast.
Really? I enjoyed watching her
Yeah, I couldn't get myself interested in this because the visuals were really lacking. I feel like the story would have been more interesting if they had added more visuals instead having focusing on the narrator so much
She needs to speak slower and more clearly
An opera?!! DAMN!!’
relatives have claimed she had a normal childhood with the grandparents. Aileen, might not have acted alone. Her girlfriend and her were seen running away from one of the victims car, in clothes that appeared to be cleaned in the ditch.
Just one thing. She didn't decline a last meal. She asked for that cup of black coffee.
I would just like to I respect this channel but it is not the same without Ryan and Shane
Wow! Radio voice!
Love the vids keep it up do more ghost
No go to a supernatural channel.
The 20th century when everyone were just serial killers
Her story is very interesting but so sad
Why do you attract intense #SPAM in your chat? I've just reported 7 of them but they're everywhere? Yutube is getting worse!
I just reported a bunch too. It's weird.
Same here
It's a site wide issue, the bots spam reply on any video that is getting lots of views.
Yes! These are the voices we need narrating this series! Her & the other guy!
DO THE CATACOMBS OF PARIS!
deadass just watched this on oct 9 2023
More Richard Stack/Gomez Adams hybrid host uploads please!
More from this narrator please.
IT JUST DOESNT FEEL RIGHT WITHOUT RYAN AND SHANE
Why are we so intrigued by serial killers?
Probably because how mysterious their stories are 🙀
Watch Nick Broomfield and you'll see..
Because it’s interesting to see the psychology behind people not only killing one person, but multiple. Us normal people can’t fathom taking a life.
Because inside us there is one trying to take over. Most of us are strong enough, without knowing it, to keep the darkness away, some more weak minded people allow this to permeate their lives and that’s when the darkness envelopes them
@@mac1975 whoa everyone has a bit of darkness inside them but that doesn't mean its something as extensive as killing people. Its not that simple to be a killer.
Nice vid
Am I the only one who realized the image used at 3:13 is from the movie “house bunny”😅😅😅😅 I hate how observant and remember things as such🙃🙃
Oh ok.
i love you aileen, rest in peace ❤️
Wtf!
С переводом есть?
Can you image the Gainesville ripper meeting wournos
She's my crush now (the narrator not aileen)😍
I love this series so much omg
Notice how most of the serial killers have pretty terrible childhoods
You forget the parody song of Jolene by Willam Belli
Honestly this whole story is just sad
I know it’s not about the narrator, but she’s stunning…
I miss the old guys but these new people are fine
Interesting
Sad
I just realized the killers middle name is the same as mine. Lee
We have the same name bro
Will Ryan and Shane still be doing true crime
Hello
Speaking too quickly, makes it hard to follow. Love the concept
Bring back Shane and ryan !
Her parents' and grandparents' actions, plus the abuse and abandonment she received from them, says it all: a combination of hereditary instability and an abusive childhood, just like Manson.
a true skinny legend
what a hell family she had, none of them right
It's like my neice reading me her book report.
NICK BROOMFIELD found out the truth, English documentary filmmaker *🙏
What was the truth?
Shame she didnt get the help and love she needed growing up, dont think she would have killed if her life wasnt so awful.
Not Taylor Swift’s birthday 💀💀
man i miss that dislike......................
i love ya green nails
December 13, 1989……………
taylor?
They could have just listened to her
Never ever going to florida
I swear it always be florida la or texas ❌❌
I've been scrolling down the comments and I am absolutely sick at all of these comments expressing sympathy for this murderer. Yes, I understand that she had a bad childhood but that gives her no right to be shooting people multiple times in "self defense". Many serial killers have terrible childhoods but we don't see comments trying to justify their actions. Just because she is a woman doesn't entitle her to sympathy. Just because her victims are white men in no way negates the fact they are victims in this woman's fucked up actions. As someone who was abused by my mother and grandma I have no right to go around shooting people and blame it on my own trauma. Absolutely sickening.
I feel very badly for the child that Eileen once was--but I don't feel sorry for the killer that she became. I feel much more sympathy for her victims.
@@peggypeggy4137 Exactly Thank you 😊
Lmaoooo no one said she had a right to kill all these people? Humans tend to sympathise, almost all the comments start off with "obviously it was wrong, the victims deserve most of the sympathy etc etc". I've seen sympathy for male serial killers. Sympathy is what sets us apart from them, not everyone reacts to cases like this with righteous rage and they've got a point. If she wasn't failed so thoroughly and consistently, all of the people involved would still be alive. Don't berate people for it.
you obviously dont know how PTSD works especially trauma you've experienced your whole life. who knows what she went through she obviously wasn't born like thst
@@cafezo87934 That still doesn't excuse her actions. I understand your childhood has a huge effect on how you perceive things trust me I know. However that doesn't mean the men she killed deserved their fate because we only have her word of self defence to go by.
Anyone else find it funny how, on a channel called Buzzfeed UNSOLVED, these cases are, well, solved?
I don’t mind that there are different people running this, I just wish that this wasn’t on the unsolved channel. If there was a Buzzfeed True Crime/Supernatural, that’d be different.
They are trying to keep the channel alive without the Bois. They are even sympathizing with murderers.
Just a regular Finish girl, tip to yall: dont get em mad!! :/
Where is Shane
Aileen not Eileen
Her voice is comparable to that other guy who does these. Nice choice!
They floated the idea that she set them up? Smh, you seem skeptical.That was what she did though,she set them up.
Wuornos was 5’4” not 5’9”.
ITS JUST NOT THE SAME
