She was the age of 46 at the time of her death, a white woman with Finnish descend. Although she was briefly married to Lewis Fell, she later fell in love with Tyria Moore, a woman with whom they stayed together for four years which made her a bisexual (Broomfield et al., 2003).
Aileen was a sex worker or prostitute from her childhood at the age of 13 where she used to exchange sex for cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and food. During the time of her death, Aileen was in Starke, Florida, USA (Theron et al., 2004).
Due to her childhood life, Aileen had a borderline personality disorder which was stemmed from her abandonment

Her condition led her to threaten the lives of both Keith, her elder brother, as well as her aunt. This is to say that the patient (Aileen) did not associate with other people positively. In addition to that, she was married to Lewis Fell for only nine weeks before the annulment of their marriage by the husband who got a restraining order against her following the fact that she had hit him with his own walking cane (Theron et al., 2004). She later fell in love with a woman named Tyria Moore with whom she stayed with for more than four years. During these periods, Tyria was also violently abused and assaulted by her lover Aileen. Tyria later betrayed Aileen and testified in court against her. Her friendship with her neighborhood friend Dawn Botkins did not suffice these problems and after years of not seeing each other, the only forms of communication they had was through letters they sent to each other and sometimes, Aileen would draft the letters and stash them away (Broomfield et al.,
