Everyone has problems, and not everyone in her situation goes out and murders people. Richard was always loving towards us and showed no signs of intense hatred or violence whatsoever. You have no idea how much pain his death brought to us and his family (our friends) and the foul accusations that were brought against him. He couldn't defend himself and she knew it. She will never have my pity as she doesn't deserve it. She didn't show any of these men any pity.

I agree with you about her never showing mercy. However Richard Mallory was a conficted rapist. Obviously though he didn't deserve to die. Neither did Aileen. No one is entirely innocent.

Ok all of these points made are good and valid points.
Let's not forget that she was a very sick woman mentally and from a young age was just not mentally well. She got pregnant at a very young age - possibly abused by her grandparents and so on. Now this can possibly cause a person to go into the life that she led but ultimately the choices we make in life we must be held accountable. I was also badly abused by my mother. Aileen made her own mistakes in life but that did not need to mean that others lost their lives over this.
I will say that picking up hitch hikers you get what you deserve - this is a dangerous thing to do and I hope it shows everyone that no matter how innocent someone looks - conisder Ted Bundy as well.
As for feeling for her, to a point yes and no. I have seen the movies, documentaries, all of it. Why was she such a distructive and problem child? No matter how much her grandparents disiplined her she just seemed to get worse. I do not agree with the abuse but as a parent of a "problem" child I understand how hard it had to have gotten as she seemed to fight everything they tried to do for her. Funny that her siblings did not turn out as badly so I have to look at Aileen and consider the fact she was likely mentally challenged from a young age. Why did they not get help for her? Well could be because I tried to find help for my daughter and not too many doctors - back then - wanted to diagnose any type of mental illness - yes this is VERY TRUE. I know - my daughter was 18 before anyone would diagnose her and help found. I am lucky nothing happened like what did with Aileen.
As for her victims - do you need proof that they begged for their life? Come on common sense will prove that. Would you beg to not die?? Would you attempt to fight for your life but somehow the evidence shows they did not have a lot of chance and as for taking time to die - dying by a gunshot wound is not immediate in most cases unless the right spot is hit and she did not s1c84eem to me to be a marksmen at the start. Consider the fact that she not only watched them die but took their cars and spent their money. I have very little sympathy for that action.
Did she deserve to die? That is a loaded question. If she killed my family member, yes I would want to see her fry for what she did. I do not care how mentally ill anyone is there is NO REASON to allow them to kill and keep killing. Toward the end that woman was soo crazy that there was no help for her - where would you put her in a prison population? If not by lethal injection I am sure it would have been much more painful by a prison inmate. Could you keep her in solitary confinement for the rest of her life? What is worse may I ask?
I felt very sorry for Aileen while watching the movie as well - isn't that what the producers want you to do? But after the movie is over and the tears spent, who benefited from her death? Why was her "lover" allowed to benefit and make tons of money off of this? Do any of you believe she was a blameless as the movie and documentary state? I doubt it. She seems like a money grubbing lazy bum. Why was she too good to work and why put all the pressure on Aileen to provide for her.
Another thing to consider. Aileen was married to a very wealthy man at one point. Why did she find it necessary to abuse her spouse to the point he had to divorce her? She had a very good life with him. Money, a nice home and she destroyed that.
Now I ask - look at the real facts. Yes I do believe she needed to die.
As for Richard Mallory, well my brother was also convicted of a sex crime and served his time in prison. He has been completely crime free for the past 15 years. Should you hold that crime over his head if he is reabilitated and crime free? Or should a woman be allowed to kill him because she possbily hates men? Aileen lied to everyone. Why would she suddenly be telling the truth? Did you watch, really watch that documentary? She was always changing her story.
My heart goes out to her victims and their families. Grandchildren were denied their grandpa, wives became widows, and children lost their father. Another thing to consider. Some of those families were sent to finanicial problems losing the main provider which at that time was often the husband/fathers while the mothers stayed at home taking care of the house and children. Do not forget the issues with the survivors of her deeds and do not forget that no matter what mental problems we have - we should always be held accountable. If the person is a danger to others - they should be locked up at the least. -

wow she had a bad life, that doesn't really give her the right to take away other peoples lives?? thats just stupid, i dont feel sorry for her at all, i am sure that there are alot of other girls out there that have had worse lives than her and didn't resort to murder, she deserved everything she got
