First-person testimony alongside digital reconstruction
Unmasking a Monster: Aileen Wuornos revisits the investigation and prosecution through accounts from people connected with her life and crimes. Its distinctive production method uses digital replica technology to recreate key figures, including Wuornos, as they appeared at the time. Those recreated appearances are part of the programme's reconstruction and should be distinguished from original archive footage.
The first chapter, Face to Face With the Monster, follows detectives investigating killings of men along Florida highways in 1990. An undercover officer's encounter with Wuornos in a bar provides a focal point for the episode's account of identifying and locating the suspect.
