Between 1989 and 1990, Aileen Wuornos killed seven men across central Florida. The investigation quickly drew added attention because the woman perpetrator didn’t fit the typical serial-killer profile. Wuornos was eventually convicted and, after years on Florida’s death row, executed in 2002. In the years since, the case has continued to reverberate — Charlize Theron’s memorable portrayal of Wuornos in 2003’s Monster won an Oscar.

Premiering on Oct. 30, the new documentary Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, directed by Emily Turner, reexamines Wuornos’s life and crimes nearly 40 years after they occurred. Produced by the BBC Studios Documentary Unit in collaboration with NBC News Studios, the documentary features powerful audio interviews with those who knew her best, along with archival footage of former Dateline correspondent Michele Gillen. It also includes prison interviews with Wuornos herself, offering new insights into her crimes.

Take a first look at the documentary in the trailer above.
