Brunos

moved to Florida to work as a prostitute.

She frequently was in trouble with the law for

being a prostitute and having committed other crimes.

By 1991 her record included among other felonies

and misdemeanors arrests for illegal possession of firearms,

forgery, assault and robbery.

Her associates and law enforcement personnel often describes

her as an erratic and easily angered woman.

Peas rest records frankly noted that she had a poor attitude.

In 1986

Oros met Tyra Moore at a bar in Daytona Beach, Florida.

They began an intense romantic relationship that

ended just before Eileen's final arrest.

In 1991

Eileen's relationship with Moore

was her second relationship with the woman

as a prostitute. Her clients were mainly middle age, low to middle class white men.

Together. We

and Tyra Moore sold stolen items at Florida's pawn shops.

During the murder investigations.

Lusa County police discovered items belonging to Mi Richard Mallory

at a local pawn shop with the receipt showing Eileen's thumbprint.

Police then traced other stolen items from Mallory to Eileen.

A camera from Mallory's automobile was found inside a rented warehouse unit

which was opened with the key taken from Eileen.

Eileen had rented the unit

under an all

police traced other items from Mallory's car

to people or pawn shops.

By 1990

Tyra Moore had become suspicious if not fully aware of Eileen's activities.

Moore moved in with her family in Pennsylvania when Eileen was arrested

on an outstanding warrant at a biker bar in Harbor Oaks,

Florida.

Police tracked Moore down and used her to elicit confession from Eileen.

Eileen was charged with the first degree murder of

Richard Mallory armed robbery with the firearm or deadly weapon

and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Prosecutors argued Eileen qualified for the death penalty

based on the charge of murder committed in the course of a robbery.

This was the only murder charge against Eileen that went to trial.

The other murders ended with guilty or no contest. Please.

Eileen pleaded guilty to the murder of Charles and

received her fifth death sentence in February 1993.

She pleaded guilty to the second murder of Eileen Antonio

and was again sentenced to death.

During her plea to the court,

she held her statement that Mallory had raped her

in a rambling statement. She said

I wanted to confess to you that Richard Mallory did finally rape me as I've told you.

But these others did not.

They only began to start to

on May 15th 1993. Judge Thomas rendered three more death sentences for Eileen.

Eileen had a not so normal and a pretty rough childhood

um to say the least

her parents were unstable and her brother, her and her brother did not grow up

uh with her parents.

Uh Her father growing up was convicted of child molestation after her birth

and then a few years after he ended up killing himself in prison,

um her mother abandoned her and her brother when they were young.

Uh So

they didn't have anyone to go with besides her grandparents.

So they ended up, uh, living with both grandma and grandpa. Her and her brother,

um,

and her grandparents weren't,

uh, stable as well as how her parents were.

Her grandmother was known as an alcoholic and then her grandfather was

apparently known to like, beat her.

Um,

so eventually

she was thrown out of her home as a teen for many reasons,

including

10 years old. She started to trade sexual favors for money

for alcohol, for cigarettes.

And then she also ended up having her only

child only and for child at 14 years old,

um,

which was believed to have been a child that

she conceived with,

um, an older friend of her grandfather's,

uh, while she was like living with him and her grandmother,

uh, while she was like, living with him and her grandmother.

So the child was eventually given up for adoption,

um, because she wasn't able to support the kid

and she was really young

and she couldn't,

um, have a child.

So after that,

being like, kicked away, like, kicked off, kicked them out of the home

when she was 14. That's when her grandparents decided to kick her out.

And then

she moved to Florida once her brother died in the early 19 eighties

and she started to work as a prostitute.

Um, and then when she started working as a prostitute is when all of the like,

crimes and murders that she committed were taking place was

applicable theories.

Eileen used a flight or fight

nose exhibited the flight response when being confronted by her victims.

Well, she could have had counseling at a young age after her rape.

She could seek social support.

She could have also attended support groups where

she could have been in a group setting,

hearing other people's stories about being raped.

So she could understand that she was not the only one

that this happened to and she could get a better understanding on how to

cope with her trauma.

She could have also received mental health services which could

have helped provide her with therapy and psychological services.

Another important thing was that she really needed a stable home environment.

The day Eileen Warno

was first sexually assaulted.

She should have been helped and not kicked out of her home

life can become distraught when you are ignored.

After telling others you have been sexually abused.

I speak from personal experience in the absence of love and

care from people you thought were supposed to care for you.

Trust begins to crumble

and you begin to care less about yourself since

no one else around you seems to care either.

This is how Eileen must have begun to feel

when it comes to crimes she committed,

it was due to her trauma and she experienced the fight response.

There is no excuse to commit murder.

This is why Eileen was sentenced to death.

Eileen was also under the influence which caused her to be

aggressive and violent.

It was her way of surviving since she felt

all alone since she was first sexually assaulted.

If Eileen had been believed and helped from the very beginning,

she would have had the support and resources

to help her with overcoming the sexual abuse.

She would have begun treatments such as therapy

and other healing guidance for sexually abused victims.

Instead, she was treated as a perpetrator and blamed for what happened to her.
