"THE BUTCHER OF PLAINFIELD: Inside Ed Gein's House of Horrors" (Part 1 of 2)

Reid Carter begins a two-part weekend special on Ed Gein, timed with Netflix's Monster series. November 16, 1957: Sheriff Art Schley enters Ed Gein's Wisconsin farmhouse looking for missing hardware store owner Bernice Worden and finds her headless body hanging from the ceiling. Then the inventory begins: lampshades made of human skin, skulls turned into bowls, furniture upholstered in human flesh, a "woman suit" made from real women. Reid covers the murders of Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan, the dozens of graves Ed robbed, and his confession delivered with chilling calm. Part one of the story that inspired Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs.Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!Join the Daily Crime & Justice community on social media!
