Episode 21: Ed Gein

TODAY’S CASE Ed Gein was the quiet loner in Plainfield, Wisconsin — polite, odd, and mostly ignored. But after a local woman vanished, suspicion turned toward his remote farmhouse. What investigators found there would go on to inspire decades of horror films and folklore. In this episode, we explore the man, the myth, and the moment everything changed.

Note: This episode discusses real-life tragic events and contains sensitive content that may be distressing to some listeners.
