About this episode
Ed Gein's name became synonymous with horror after police entered his isolated Wisconsin farmhouse in November 1957. What they discovered exposed two murders, years of grave robbing and a secret collection of human remains. This episode follows Gein from his controlling and isolated childhood to the deaths of his family, the murder of Mary Hogan and the disappearance of Bernice Worden. We examine the investigation, his psychiatric confinement and the mythology that later transformed a double murderer and body snatcher into one of true crime's most distorted figures.
