49. From Serial Killing to Suitcase murder, welcome to FLORIDA: Aileen Wuornos & Sarah Boone - a podcast by Pink Collar Pod
from 2021-04-01T08:00
There's a good chance you've come across those infamous "Florida Man" headlines turned memes. 'Florida Man throws alligator through drive-thru window,' or 'Florida Man calls 911 after his kitten was denied entry into strip club.' This week, we decide to take Florida Man one step further with "Florida (Wo)Man". Rachel details the high-profile case of Aileen Wuornos, a woman convicted of murdering several men whom she claimed assaulted her. As Rachel walks us through it, we discuss the role of trauma, mental illness, and bias. Nathalie shares the case of Sarah Boone, a woman currently awaiting trial for murdering her boyfriend. The murder weapon? A suitcase. While Sarah claims his death was the result of a game of hide and seek, an iPhone video Sarah recorded says otherwise.
