In searching for this monologue online it doesn't seem to exist as anything other than a videotaped performance, or in a transcribed form that exists only as a monologue. It is possible the monologue was never part of an entire play or a published work, but written only to be performed. Some actors and writers will work this way and create short works that allows them to explore specific characters or situations. Nicole Blackman is a monologuist who mainly performed original short pieces, for example.
Maybe you could find a published play or screenplay that allows you to explore similar emotions or situations? For example, the film Monster starring Charlize Theron is about a female serial killer, and being a screenplay it exists in published form. It is unusual to find stories about female serial killers, especially those who do so with intent (Monster portrayed a prostitute who sought revenge against men who brutalized her). You might want to ask, what is it that makes this particular monologue so powerful to you? Would reciting a monologue of, say, Lady Macbeth, prove just as powerful? She also plots a murder and must convince Hamlet to conspire with her.
