Description

This week on Hot On The Case we dive into the disturbing world of Ed Gein, a man who on the surface seemed like a quiet and helpful neighbor but was hiding some of the most shocking secrets in true crime history.

Living in the small town of Plainfield Wisconsin Gein appeared unassuming to those who knew him often lending a hand and keeping to himself. Behind closed doors however he was spiraling into a psychotic break fueled by years of isolation and an unhealthy obsession with his domineering mother.
