A murderer and corpse snatcher from the United States, Edward Theodore Gein was also known as the Butcher of Plainfield. At first, Gein was institutionalized for mental health reasons after being deemed incompetent to face trial. In 1968, he was deemed to be competent to stand trial; he was convicted of killing Worden but was declared legally insane and committed to a mental institution.
Does Ed Gein have kids?
Information about Ed Gein having children is unknown.
After the death of Gein’s father, Gein was now left alone with his mother. Soon after Henry’s passing, Augusta suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed, and Gein committed his life to her care. Gein subsequently recalled that he and his mother went to a man named Smith, who lived close by, sometime in 1945 to buy straw. Augusta allegedly saw Smith hitting a dog, according to Gein. When a woman from inside the Smith residence saw him outside, she yelled at him to stop, but Smith killed the dog nevertheless. The roughness toward the dog did not appear to be what troubled Augusta the most about this scene; rather, it seemed that the woman’s presence bothered her more.
