Serial killers are the dark stars of modern culture, but is it nature or nurture that creates a serial killer? Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world.

Aileen Carol "Lee" Wuornos, born Aileen Carol Pittman, lived a brutal childhood in Michigan. Raised by abusive and alcoholic grandparents, lead to believe her mother was her sister, sired by a convicted child molester, and developing an incestuous relationship with her brother, she starts trading sexual favors at a young age for cigarettes and small change. Known and rejected by most classmates as the neighborhood sleaze, giving birth at fourteen (to a baby boy that's taken and immediately put up for adoption), then thrown from the house at fifteen after her grandmother's death, she survives the only way she knows how - prostitution - and lives among fringe groups, eventually heading to Florida. In her thirties, when her looks begin to go, an incident sets her on a new course - killing men for money.
