- Aileen Wuornos murdered at least six men between 1989 and 1990.

- At the time, she engaged in sex work to support herself and her girlfriend, Tyria Moore.

- Moore was instrumental in getting Wuornos to confess to her crimes.

Aileen Wuornos was convicted of murdering six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. During that time, Wuornos was working as a prostitute to support both herself and her girlfriend, Tyria Moore.

Moore was never implicated in the murders, and she has always insisted she played no part in them. She was, however, instrumental in helping police build a case against Wuornos, who was eventually sentenced to death.

Now, Wuornos' story and her relationship with her ex-girlfriend is back in the spotlight thanks to a new Netflix documentary, *Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers*. Here's everything we know about Tyria Moore and where she is now.

Who is Tyria Moore?

Wuornos and Moore reportedly came from *very *different worlds. The serial killer was abandoned by her mother and endured a traumatic childhood, which ultimately led to her getting pregnant at 13, dropping out of school, and hitchhiking across the country. As for Moore, a 1991 report in the *South Florida Sun-Sentinel* says she grew up in Cadiz, Ohio, and was raised in a middle-class family.

In 1986, they crossed paths at a gay bar called Zodiac in South Daytona, Fla. Wuornos and Moore, who was in her 20s at the time, hit it off and started dating. They soon moved in together, bouncing between motels and trailers.

"We became lovers, and it later turned into a sister-like relationship," Moore told police, according to the outlet. For her part, Wuornos reportedly described Moore as "the love of my life" and would even tell people Moore was her wife. She allegedly threatened to kill anyone who bothered Tyria.

In *Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers*, previously unseen jailhouse footage shows Wuornos gushing about Moore. Wuornos said she loved Moore and carried a gun to protect herself so she could stay alive and have "another day breathing with her."

Money was tight throughout their relationship. Moore sometimes worked as a maid, but Wuornos was the main provider, relying on sex work to make ends meet.

"The problem was I wasn't supporting her as richly as she wanted," Wuornos reportedly told police. "She always wanted a brand-new car or a rented one. She wanted clothes, she wanted an apartment with plush furniture."

Did Moore play a role in Wuornos' confession?

Yes, she did. Over time, Moore became suspicious of Wuornos, eventually breaking up with her and moving back to Ohio. Investigators contacted Moore in late 1990 after linking Wuornos to a string of murders, hoping she could help them get a confession. She agreed.

Across several phone conversations with Moore, Wuornos confessed to the murders of multiple men. According to PEOPLE, Wuornos told her, "I'm not gonna let you go to jail. Ty, I love you. If I have to confess everything just to keep you from getting in trouble, I will."**

Did Moore testify against Wuornos?

Yes, and Moore ultimately played a pivotal role in Wuornos' 1992 trial for the murder of 51-year-old Robert Mallory. On the stand, Moore revealed that Wuornos had previously told her she shot Mallory to death while the pair were watching TV.

"I didn't believe it," Moore said, per United Press International. "I know I didn't like to hear about her work (prostitution). So I'm sure I didn't want to hear something like that."

Wuornos claimed she killed Mallory in self-defense after he raped her, but Moore testified that there was no mention of an attack.

A jury found Wuornos guilty of Mallory's murder. She later pled no contest or guilty to five additional murders. Ultimately, she was convicted of six counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in October 2002, according to a *New York Times *obituary.**

Where is Tyria Moore now?

After testifying against her ex-girlfriend, Moore largely vanished from the public eye. She has since stayed silent about the case and avoided any and all public appearances.

Christina Ricci appeared as Selby Wall, a fictionalized version of Moore, in the 2003 film *Monster*, which explores Wuornos's life and crimes.
