Ed Gein

Ed Gein's name became synonymous with horror after police entered his isolated Wisconsin farmhouse in November 1957.

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.
