Florida an area popular with bikers, Hells Angels, holiday-makers, and the retired. It was here in a gay bar called Zodiac that she met 24-year-old lesbian motel maid Tyria Moore. After meeting, they left the bar together and spent the entire weekend in bed.
    Tyria was a hefty, big-bone d , jovial, freckled faced , red head who was often mistaken for a man. She grew up in the smal l Christian town of Cadiz, Ohio. Her father was a well-respected brick mason and carpenter. She had three brothers and one sister.

    Aileen and Tyria began an intense and volatile relationship. Tyria quit her job, and Aileen supported them both on her prostitution earnings. It was the anchor Aileen had been searching for all her life. Aileen and Tyria had a nomadic lifestyle. They moved from one dingy apartment or seedy motel to another and on occasion slept in an old disused barn. Aileen fell for Tyria hard, probably more than anyone else she had ever cared for in her miserable life. Although Tyria appeared tougher and more butch, Aileen referred to her as her wife.
    In July of 1987, the Daytona Beach police held Aileen and Tyria for questioning about a bar brawl in which they were accused of assault for attacking a man with a beer bottle. In March of 1988, Aileen, using the alias Cammie Greene, accused a bus driver in Daytona Beach of assault. Tyria was named as a witness in the police report.
    In July of 1988, in Daytona Beach, Aileen (under the "Susan Blahovec" alias) and Tyria were accused by their landlord of vandalizing their apartment. By 1989, Aileen, according to Tyria, rarely traveled without a loaded .22 caliber gun telling Tyria that she carried the gun for self-protection. In the United States gun culture, .22 caliber guns are not particularly powerful and are typically used for self-defense.
    Her job was dangerous, she explained to Tyria, and in the past, she had been maced, beaten, and raped by customers. Prostitution was a dangerous profession. In the U nited States, it’s estimated that the murder rate for female prostitutes is 204 per 100,000, making it the riskiest profession for women in the United States.
    A recent study on 130 prostitutes in San Francisco found that 82% had been physically assaulted , 83% had been threatened with a weapon, and 68% had been raped by clients.
    Frequently, murdered bodies of prostitutes are found around the U nited States without arousing serious attention.
    Aileen’s earnings as a prostitute were never great and with the ravages of age, alcohol , and drugs, they dwindled even further. The lack of funds began to put a strain on their relationship. Tyria occasionally took jobs as a motel cleaner but didn’t like working and would complain to Aileen. This would make Aileen constantly worried that Tyria would leave her if she was unable to support her financially. For the first time in her life, she had found love and did not want to lose it. Aileen mainly worked as a prostitute along the highways of Central Florida. In the first week of December, Aileen left Tyria for a few days to work. When she returned home, intoxicated with alcohol, to the motel in Volusia County in which they were presently living, she, according to Tyria, told her that she had shot a man dead earlier and robbed him blind. Tyria never reported this to the police but stayed with Aileen not caring where or how Aileen brought the money home.
    On December 13th, 1989 two teenage boys out riding their bikes found a wrapped dead body along a dirt road close to Interstate 95 in Florida. Fingerprints identified him as fifty-one-year-old Richard Mallory, the owner of an electronics store in Clearwater, Florida. He had been murdered with three gunshots from a .22 pistol.
