Edward Theodore Gein ( – ), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield and the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American murderer, serial killer, and body snatcher.

Reportedly, the brothers were separated, and as night fell, EdGein lost sight of his brother. When the fire was extinguished, he reported to the police that his brother was missing. When a search party was organized, Gein led them directly to his missing brother, who lay dead on the ground. EdGeinwas an American serial killer who confessed to killing two women, though police found the remains of at least 10 women in his home. EdGeinwas, by any civilized culture's definition, a sicko. Here was a man, clearly in the unforgiving grip of mental illness, who performed horrible, despicable, unspeakable acts on bodies, both living and dead. EdGeinwas an American murderer whose gruesome crimes gained worldwide notoriety in the 1950s, when it was discovered that he robbed graves and used body parts to make household items and other objects.

During the trial, Ed seemed confused, disconnected from the event, and unable to recall what happened. EdGein, the notorious killer who inspired legendary horror films from "Psycho" to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," is getting renewed attention from a new Netflix series. The 1974 horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with it’s chainsaw-weilding killer Leatherface, who wears the skin of his victims as a mask, was famously inspired by the crimes of EdGein. Director Tobe Hooper, a Texas native, was just 14 when EdGeinwas arrested.
