Walter Gino Antonio

‘When we were struggling with the gun and everything else, again, he fell to the ground and he started to run back… run away.  And I shot him in the back… right in the back.’

Walter Gino Antonio was the seventh victim of Aileen Wuornos.  Antonio was a hardworking individual who worked also as a police officer in the reserves.  Would a man of this disposition be capable of carrying out a vicious attack, the answer is it does not seem likely.  Following the recent discoveries of the victims, later established as being murdered by Aileen Wuornos, the police were identifying the links between the various crimes.  The final victim of Wuornos, Walter Gino Antonio, was discovered in a secluded area with fatal injuries sustained as a result of multiple gunshot wounds from a .22- calibre pistol.
