Near Highway 1 in Port Orange, Florida there is a biker bar called The Last Resort. It’s the kind of seedy little dive where people mind their own business. The name is fitting, because The Last Resort could also describe the occupation of the establishment’s most famous patron. It is the World’s oldest profession. To other bargoers, she went by the name of Lee, and she had taken her spot on one of the stools more than a time or two. Lee had a boisterous personality, and was memorable to the other drinkers as well as the bartender, a big guy who went by Cannonball. The portly barkeep remembered that on the night before the shit hit the fan at The Last Resort, ole Lee had hung her bra up right on the bar. There it would stay forever. At 5812 S Ridgewood Ave in Port Orange, Florida, a sign out front reads “Home of Ice Cold Beer and Killer Women”, I am your host, JD Horror, and this is True Crime Horror Story. Season 6, Episode 6: The Last Resort. This is the story of Aileen Wuornos.
Aileen Wuornos was a sex worker who in 1989–1990, while engaging in street prostitution along highways in Florida, robbed and killed seven of her Johns. The woman they called Lee claimed that her clients had either raped or attempted to kill her, and that the murders of these men were committed in self-defense. But there is much, much more to this story.
