The Haunted Highways of Florida The Aileen Wuornos Murders
Between 1989 and 1990, the quiet roads of central Florida became scenes of tragedy as seven men lost their lives to Aileen Wuornos — a woman shaped by pain, survival, and anger. Each man’s death marked another chapter in a dark story that shocked the nation.
Richard Mallory, age 51, was killed on December 1, 1989, near Daytona Beach.
David Spears, 43, was found murdered on May 19, 1990, in Citrus County.
Charles Carskaddon, 40, was discovered on May 31, 1990, in Pasco County.
Troy Burress, 50, went missing on July 31, 1990, and was later found in Marion County.
Charles “Dick” Humphreys, 56, was found shot to death on September 12, 1990, in Marion County.
Peter Siems, 65, vanished on June 7, 1990, with his car later found abandoned in Orange Springs.
Walter Antonio, 62, was discovered on November 19, 1990, in Dixie County — her final known victim.
Police linked the killings through stolen cars and ballistic evidence, leading to Wuornos’ arrest in January 1991. She confessed to the murders, claiming each act was in self-defense. Convicted and sentenced to death, she was executed in 2002 at Florida State Prison.
These men deserve remembrance beyond the headlines. Their lives were taken too soon — each one a reminder that real horror lies not in fiction, but in the silence of those lonely Florida roads.
