On the evening of the 16th of November 1957 a farmer and handyman by the name of Edward Theodore Gein was arrested by police in the town of Plainfield, Wisconsin. He was suspected of having some connection to the disappearance of a local woman the day before. When officers were despatched to search the Gein farm, however, it wouldn’t be just one woman they discovered, but multiple human bodies, some of them disfigured in terrible ways. Gein, it emerged, was a prolific serial killer and body snatcher. His crimes have gone down in history as some of the most obscene ever committed.
