Ed Gein: Episode 1 Summary - The Making of a Monster Episode one explores Ed Gein's transformation from abused child to grave robber. Born in 1906, Ed grew up under the absolute control of his fanatically religious mother Augusta, who preached that all women except herself were corrupt. Isolated on a remote Wisconsin farm, subjected to relentless psychological abuse, Ed developed a twisted worldview. After his father's death in 1940 and his brother Henry's suspicious death in 1944, Ed lived alone with Augusta until her death in 1945. Her passing shattered Ed's reality. He sealed her rooms as a shrine while the rest of the farmhouse decayed. By 1947, Ed began robbing graves, exhuming bodies to create a "woman suit" from human skin, attempting to resurrect or become his mother.
