• Hi,  to our lovely True Crimer's, thanks for listening and please help us spread the word by telling your friends and family about us.
• This week Kim is covering an American convicted murderer and body snatcher.
• Ed received widespread attention in 1957 after Cops discovered he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and made trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. 
• Gein also confessed to killing two women: 
• tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.
• Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility. By 1968, he was judged competent to stand trial; 
• he was found guilty of the murder of Worden, 
• but he was found legally insane and was remanded to a psychiatric institution.
•  He died at Mendota Mental Health Institute of respiratory failure, on July 26, 1984, aged 77.
•  He is buried next to his family in the Plainfield Cemetery, in a now-unmarked grave. 
• This guy had a difficult childhood and grew up to be totally depraved.
• Definitely Mummy issues and a whole lot more to go along with that.
• listen to all of the sordid things that he did and created if your stomach can take it.
• have a listen kick back and get ready to have your mind blown by the depravity of mankind.
• Please take care and stay safe, Love Steph and Kim xx
