Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield

from History Dweebs - A look at True Crime, Murders, Serial Killers and the Darkside of History

Serial killer Ed Gein was obsessively devoted to his mother, a religious fanatic. After her death, Gein began robbing graves—keeping body parts as trophies, practicing necrophilia, and experimenting with human taxidermy. He then turned to murder, killing at least two women in 1957. Listener discretion is advised. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
