“It was like there was two Ed Gein's. One during the day, and one at night digging up the graves.” Ed Gein was known for grave robbing and the murder of two women. I chose to research Ed Gein because, for some reason I find forensic related things interesting. I like researching murders, mysteries, urban legends, etcetera.

He murdered two women, Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden. Mary Hogen was a 54 year-old tavern owner. She went missing on December 8, 1954. Ed shot her with a .32 Mauser pistol. Police found her face in a brown paper bag in Ed’s home during the police search. His next victim was Bernice Worden, she was a 58 year-old. She owned the Worden Hardware Store in town. It was deer hunting season, all of the men were out hunting while the women stayed at home. Bernice was working, like always. Ed had been in her store to buy antifreeze. Ed shot her in the head with a Marlin .22 rifle. Bernice’s son told police Ed had been in his mother’s store that evening before her disappearance. Ed’s receipt was the last one written out since Bernice had been working. Police went to Ed’s home to go question him. Investigators found her body “dressed out” like a deer in his shed. She was hung upside down, decapitated with ropes around her wrists, and a crossbar on her
