E11 | Mother - The Ed Gein Story

Plainfield, Wisconsin was a quiet farming town where everyone knew everyone else. That’s why no one paid much attention to the man who lived alone on the old family property at the edge of town. Ed Gein was polite, soft-spoken, and harmless — or so it seemed. But when Bernice Worden vanished in 1957, the door to Gein’s world was forced open. What investigators found inside wasn’t just evidence of murder — it was the collapse of a mind shaped by isolation, devotion, and grief. This episode pulls back the silence surrounding Plainfield, and the horror it unknowingly lived beside.While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.If you would like to suggest a case, you can message us via our website at www.brevityplus.comSubscribers get ad free listening to The Veil and all of our podcasts.
