Description

In the violent history of serial killers, one name seems to stand out among the others. Ed Gein, known as a shut-in by the townsfolk of Plainfield, Wisconsin, was found to have murdered a local woman named Bernice Worden. What followed were some of the most gruesome and shocking discoveries in American serial killer history, as a collection of body parts, some used to make a “woman suit,” were found by local police. The nature of Ed Gein’s crimes would go on to inspire other horrific fictional characters in contemporary pop culture. What can drive someone to commit such strange and terrible acts? Join Drs. Micono and Morelos as they explore the potential motivations for one of the most bizarre and macabre examples of serial killing.
