Haha, I remember seeing that Loch Ness picture in a magazine when I was about ten, and thinking "Well, that sure looks like an arm sticking out of the water." The fact that anybody was fooled by that one is pretty incredible.
Yep, I am in no way downplaying her murders, I believe in myself she deserve whatever punishment she gets but I just can’t help but feel sorry for her as a human being. The world has been so unfair to her, she’s one of the best example of “Every villain was once a hero.” She was a loving sister to her brother, a wonderful friend to a few unfortunately, all her traumatic experiences catch up with her and eat her alive.
If you mean the execution, then yes she did. If you feel sorry for her because of her back story, then you'd also have to feel sorry for several other serial killers. I don't understand why so many channels that report on her are so slanted towards her "sad back story" when they don't do the same for other killers with equally (or worse) backstories. Own up to it, you only feel sorry for her because she is a woman.
Remember when a president lying under oath was considered a big deal? Considered to be completely incomprehensible? Worth removing from the presidency? Good times, good times.
What about BTK? His is one of if not the most bone chilling confessions ever. He talked about murdering women and children ,whole families nearly as if he were describing picking up the mail.
Okay, but Aileen Wuornos's confession is a little more complicated than that. When she was arrested and during her trial, she always claimed that she killed in self-defense. Then she got death sentences and stood on Death Row for many years. After 10 years on Death Row, she claimed on camera that she lied about the self-defense claims and all her murders were cold-blooded (this is the video we see here). This confession was recorded by Nick Broomfield, who was making a documentary on her. During another day of shooting, when Aileen thought the camera was off, she whispered to Broomfield that the killings were, indeed, self-defense, and that she pretended the killings were cold-blooded to accelerate her execution, as she was exhausted being on Death Row for so long and couldn't stay any longer. So what is the truth?.... hard to say. I do believe she may have developed a psychopathic disorder due to her years of abuse (when she was a child and young adult), but that doesn't mean she couldn't have kill in self-defense. Or maybe her years of abuse made her have a hard time differentiating a harmless remark from a threat to her life, and she truly believed she killed in self-defense... my point is, this is complex, and we'll never know the whole truth about her. What we know is she was broken and she broke other people, and the system was never there to prevent that from happening. This is an incredibly sad story.
I agreed with u on all points. Once in Daytona beach my mother, gma, and I met her on the beach. She was nice to us but a bit abrasive/rude to the men around. We even shared our lunch wit her and took pics including 1 of her and i on a carousel. She rode wit us back toward our hotel. My mother has a few long letters she wrote her from prison. In college I was consistently and at random assigned her as my subject for multiple projects and I always included the pics. Shes the reason I became a forensic psychologist. I dont believe she deserved the death penalty. There was alot to learn about the impact trauma can have if she had lived and were studied.
Or like many other serial killers, she is an expert manipulator. I really don't get why killers like her, or Myra Hindley, or Rose West get people feeling sorry for them, just because of their backstories, or the lies they spin. Many killers have equally tragic backstories, and make up all sorts of reasons for the killings, do you feel sorry for them too?
or she finally told the truth... also all 7 men happened to be rapists just by coincidence? she had to kill all 7? also charles manson had a tragic backstory too
@@steves1015 It's only because she's female. Anytime a killer is a female it's always a sad and tragic story. Male killers also have horrible backstories, but because it's a male its simply evil with no complex overtones. Watch any doc/film about a male killer and then watch the ones about a female and see how different the two are treated.
13:59-14:14: Alleged? She straight-up admitted to Tyson that she falsely accused Till of sexually assaulting, which means that the murder began with a total lie! She even covered up her role in his cruel murder and went into damage control when her confession was made public.
He also manipulated the people at the psychiatric hospital he was sent to. He made them believe that not only was he cured, also that he might go into psychiatry.
In my opinion, one of the most shocking confessions was that of Albert Fish, who molested and/or murdered dozens of children during the first few decades of the 20th Century. His last, and probably most tragic, victim was a little girl named Grace Budd, whose family he befriended around the year 1928. One day, Fish offered to take Grace to a children's party he was giving for his daughter, but what he did instead was take her to an empty house, where he strangled the child, then cut up her body and cooked parts of it in a stew, which he ate with carrots and onions. For the next few years after that, he wrote letters to the girl's family and this is what caused him to be captured by the police, who traced one of the letters to him. Fish made a full confession to the Budd murder and other crimes. The confession was shocking beyond belief, with Fish describing what he did to Grace Budd in the most gruesome details. For example, he said that Grace's "fanny" was the tastiest part of her body. He also said that he thought of "f***ing" the girl before killing her, but he changed his mind, adding that Grace had "died a virgin." Albert Fish was eventually convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. After he was executed in the electric chair at New York's Sing Sing Prison in 1936, one of the detectives who investigated the case said that he would never have Fish's confession released to the public, because, as he said, it was "the worst load of obscenities I've ever read."
Yes indeed, the serial killers back in the day did things that gave you nightmares. It's sad to know that they committed those crimes as they traveled so most of their victims will never be found.
A man wit a wig and another man cheating is put on a list wit damn serial killers Tf we talking bout 😂😂... Idc if tiger cheated that ish aint got nuttin to do wit me just go out an win. Get a prenup and keep it pushin...
Denis Nilsen didn't dispose most of the remains by flushing them down the toilet. At this address there were, three bodys. At his last address he killed thirteen or fourteen men.
You should not have included Israel Keyes in this video. He's *way* more evil than a mainstream video should ever present to a possibly unsuspecting public.
Kuklinski was one of the most deadly serial killers of his time. I’ve believed for many years that he killed about 200 people for the Gambino’s as a hitman, but now I’m not so sure, but like his name, he was just cold blooded and wouldn’t think twice about killing you instantly when he had the chance.
I think it's hard to not have a lot of sympathy for the little girl she once was. Not for Aileen the adult who made her own choices and needed to experience the consequences, but the little girl who had to go through all that abuse and neglect.
Israel Keyes absolutely killed WAY more people than he confessed to or got credit for. I will not give him the credit if saying he was smart, but up until the end, with the case that got him caught and the double murder he admitted to (which would have never been solved without him confessing) he knew how to not get caught. I think he basically admitted to about 11 before his suicide, but I’d honestly believe he responsible for a number much, much higher. He got caught because he got sloppy. But, he robbed banks around the times he murdered in the general area of his murders. If those bank robberies can be tracked, then murders within a day or two within 500 miles could easily be attributed to him. All the info he gives during his interviews is extremely illuminating. I hope that as many of his victims as possible can be found and identified. They are the ones who matter.
I still feel like Tiger Woods coming out and making that statement for cheating, was unnecessary. Do you know how many people cheat on their spouse, and don't have to stand up in front of millions of people and admit ( it was a VERY shitty thing to do) you've been unfaithful. That was quite unfair...
Watching Tiger Woods sincerely apologizing for his infidelity and how it adversely affected so much in his life I could think only of Trump who never apologizes for anything. Ever!!!!
You got to be crazy! Naomi Shemer in the same list with murderers and criminals? Shemers "plagiarizing" wouldn't have been enough for a trail according to copright laws today, especially when the music had no known composer. The whole stort came because of her plotical views
Personally, why should celebrities have to confess and apologize to the public for infidelity? That concerns no one but them and their family. Why should i possibly care if Tiger Woods is cheating on his wife? Who does that possibly affect? Good lord, I can’t even look myself in the mirror knowing somewhere, right now, one of my idol celebrities aren’t being committed to their spouse!
