The bar where Aileen Wuornos was arrested
Place of Interest in Port Orange, Florida, United States
This is the bar where female serial killer Aileen Wuornos was arrested.
It is called the Last Resort bar, and it is situated at 5812 South Ridgewood Avenue in Port Orange, Florida.
Between 1989 and 1990, Wuornos shot and killed seven men in the state of Florida.
Although she originally claimed that the men in question had attempted to rape her, authorities found this difficult to believe. Instead, they suspected that the true motive behind her crimes was robbery. This is because she had pawned many of her victims' belongings.
Over the years, Wuornos changed her story a number of times. On one occasion, she stated that she robbed her victims and then shot them to avoid leaving any witnesses behind.
In January of 1992, she was convicted of the murder of Richard Charles Mallory and sentenced to death. In the months that followed, she also received death sentences for the other killings.
Ten years later, on October 9th, 2002, Aileen Wuornos was executed by lethal injection.

Aileen Wuornos' arrest

On January 9th, 1991, the police apprehended Aileen Wuornos outside of the Last Resort bar in Port Orange, Florida.
Before detectives swooped in, an undercover agent spent time with Wuornos inside the bar. While he was speaking with her, officers listened in on their conversation and videotaped the bar from across the street.
At one point, Wuornos suggested to the undercover agent that they should go out together that night. She also advised him to bring all of his money.
Realizing that he was in danger of becoming her next victim, the officer went to the restroom and told his backup team to make the arrest.
