SBSW 101 - True Crime - Ed Gein & Lizzie Borden

This week, Sean delves into the twisted mind of Ed Gein, the infamous 'Butcher of Plainfield.' Known for his gruesome crimes, Ed's fascination with death and obsession with his late mother led him to unthinkable acts that shocked the small town of Plainfield. From grave robbing to his horrifying collection of macabre 'artefacts,' Gein's crimes inspired some of the most iconic horror films such as 'Psycho' and the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. But was he truly a cold-blooded killer or just a deeply disturbed man? Meanwhile, Skye uncovers the chilling case of Lizzie Borden, the woman forever etched into history with a rhyme about an axe and 40 whacks.

But was Lizzie really the one wielding the axe, or was she a victim of circumstance in a time when women were rarely suspects? Explore the evidence, the theories, and the enduring mystery surrounding this case and you be the judge.
