Ed Gein, born August 27, 1906, lived an isolated existance on the Gein family farm in Plainville, Wisconsin. By the time of his arrest on November 16, 1957, Ed was the only Gein left. His father, mother and older brother had having died leaving Ed totally alone. Among other things, Gein was a necropheliac, who robbed graves of the recently dead. Ed was content with this arrangement for a while. When a couple of local women turned up missing police went to Gein's house since he had been asking about one of the missing women just prior to her disappearence. They found the missing women (dead) and body parts of the stolen corpses made into belts, hats and a 'body suit' made of human skin sown together. Gein would wear this 'suit' around his farm. After Gein's arrest he was judged unsound of mind and a trial was postponed. He eventually did have his day in court and of course was found guilty. He was sent back to the hospital for the mentally ill where he spent the rest of his life. Gein died on July 26, 1984.
