Episode Details

Ed Gein is one of the more intriguing characters in the history of true crime. He didn't murder a large number of people as some other killers did. What makes Ed stand out is the scope of his crimes and what he did with his victims. In addition to being a murderer, Ed Gein was a prolific grave robber. And it is what he did with the bodies that has fascinated many people for years.

Join Mike and Gibby as we discuss Ed Gein, the basis for many of Hollywood's most famous villains. In this first part of the Ed Gein story we focus on Ed's childhood, his sexual confusion and his domineering mother Augusta. All of these parts of Ed's childhood go together to start him down the path of grave robbing and making his "suits" out of recently buried women.
