Ed Gein was born in 1906 and had a strict and abusive upbringing with a religious mother. He began grave robbing and keeping body parts as trophies. Gein had a social complex where he wanted to be a woman and enjoyed wearing skin and parts from female bodies that resembled his mother. After a store owner disappeared, investigators searched Gein's property and found her decapitated body hung in his shed. Gein's home contained many artifacts made from human skin and bones. He was found mentally incompetent and sent to a mental hospital, where he spent the rest of his life after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for the murders.

4. How he was caught?
Store owner had
disappeared, store
owners son had seen
Gein in the store the
night before buying
suspicious materials.
Investigations had
reason to go to his
house and search for the
store owner.
Investigators searched
Giens property and
found Worden's
decapitated body hung
by her wrists in a shed
with a crossbar at her
ankles. Her body was
dressed like a dear.

5. Crime scene
It was concluded that Gein shot Worden with a .22 caliber
rifle and that all mutilations were done after she was dead.
All Artifacts were photographed at the state crime
laboratory.
We believe that the evidence was handled correctly because
there was so much it was obvious

6. Crime scene evidences
-Whole human bones and fragments
Human skin covering several chair seats
-Female skulls 15, some with the tops sawn off
-Bowls made from human skulls
-Leggings made from human leg skin

-Mary Hogan's skull in a box
-A young girl's dress
-A pair of lips on a window shade drawstring

7. Bullet identification
microscope had a
split screen that
allowed to compare
bullets or cartridge
cases, the metal cases
a gun ejects after
firing a bullet, side by
side.
If markings on the
bullets or cases
matched, that
indicated that they
were fired from the
same gun.
Firearms examiners
still use that same
method today, but it
has an important
limitation: After
visually comparing
two bullets or
cartridge cases, the
examiner can offer an
expert opinion as to
whether they match.
But they cannot
express the strength
of the evidence
numerically, the way
a DNA expert can
when testifying about
genetic evidence.

mentally
incompetent and
thus unfit to stand
trial at the time of
his arrest, and was
sent to the Central
State Hospital in

Wisconsin.
Later, Central State
Hospital was
converted into a
prison and Gein
was transferred to
Mendota State
Hospital in
Madison,
Wisconsin.
In 1968, Gein’s
doctors
determined he was
sane enough to
stand trial; he was
found not guilty
by reason of
insanity by judge
Robert H.
Gein and spent the
rest of his life in
the hospital.
