After his mother died, Edward Gein seemed like a quiet man. He lived in his big house all alone. He did odd jobs around town, earning enough to live on. Nobody suspected what actually went on in his house.
Gein was a strange man, his lifestyle consisted of attrocities and the abnormalities. In 1954, he shot and killed a local bar owner. He then took her corpse to his home. In 1957, he shot and killed the owner of a local general store. He also took her corpse home with him.
The son of the second woman happened to be the police chief of Plainfield, Wisconsin. He rapidly discovered Gein to be the murderer. Police attained their warrant and entered Gein's home. No one was prepared for what they found inside the house.
Inside the house was the evidence of Ed Gein's monstrosities. Masks of human skin were found, bowls made of human skulls, chair covers made of human skin, lampshades made of human skin. There were leggings and a vest made of human skin. There was also a belt with female nipples attached to it. There was also a box with eleven pieces of female genatalia. There was also the body of Gein's last murder.
Her body was hung upside down, sliced from crotch to sternum, decapitated, and eviscerated. Her body was butchered in the same manner as a large game animal.
Over the years Gein had raided four separate cemeteries, taking the pieces of women that he thought were "valuable".
Gein spent ten years in a mental institution, he was then considered fit to stand trial. He was found guilty and sent to a mental institution for the rest of his life. In 1984, Edward Gein died of cancer.
