On November 16, 1957, Plainfield hardware store owner Bernice Worden disappeared, and police had reason to suspect Gein. Worden's son had told investigators that Gein had been in the store the evening before the disappearance, saying he would return the following morning for a gallon of anti-freeze. A sales slip for a gallon of anti-freeze was the last receipt written by Worden on the morning she disappeared.[9] Upon searching Gein's property, investigators discovered Worden's decapitated body in a shed, hung upside down by ropes at her wrists, with a crossbar at her ankles. The torso was "dressed out" like that of a deer.[10] She had been shot with a .22-caliber rifle, and the mutilations performed after death.
Searching the house, authorities found a number of items:[11]
Four nosesWhole human bones and fragments[12]Nine masks of human skin[13]Bowls made from human skullsTen female heads with the tops sawed offHuman skin covering several chair seatsMary Hogan's head in a paper bag[14]Bernice Worden's head in a burlap sack[15]Nine vulvas in a shoe box[16]Skulls on his bedpostsOrgans in the refrigeratorA pair of lips on a draw string for a windowshade
These artifacts were photographed at the crime lab and then were properly destroyed.[17]
When questioned, Gein told investigators that between 1947 and 1952,[18] he made as many as 40 nocturnal visits to three local graveyards to exhume recently buried bodies while he was in a "daze-like" state. On about 30 of those visits, he said he had come out of the daze while in the cemetery, left the grave in good order, and returned home empty handed.[19] On the other occasions, he dug up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother[20] and took the bodies home, where he tanned their skins to make his paraphernalia. Gein admitted robbing nine graves, leading investigators to their locations. Because authorities were uncertain as to whether the slight Gein was capable of single-handedly digging up a grave in a single evening, they exhumed two of the graves and found them empty, thus corroborating Gein's confession.[21][22]
Shortly after his mother's death, Gein had decided he wanted a sex change and began to create a "woman suit" so he could pretend to be a female.[11] Gein's practice of donning the tanned skins of women was described as an "insane transvestite ritual".[23] Gein denied having sex with the bodies he exhumed, explaining, "They smelled too bad."[23] During interrogation, Gein also admitted to the shooting death of Mary Hogan, a tavern operator missing since 1954.
A 16-year-old youth whose parents were friends of Gein, and who attended ball games and movies with Gein, reported that he was aware of the shrunken heads, which Gein had described as relics from the Philippines sent by a cousin who had served in World War II.[24] Upon investigation by the police, these were determined to be human facial skins, carefully peeled from cadavers and used as masks by Gein.
Waushara County sheriff Art Schley allegedly[][] physically assaulted Gein during questioning, by banging Gein's head and face into a brick wall, causing Gein's initial confession to be ruled inadmissible.[8] Schley died of a heart attack in December 1968, at age 43, only a month after testifying at Gein's trial. Many[] who knew him said he was traumatized by the horror of Gein's crime and that this, along with the fear of having to testify (especially about assaulting Gein), led to his early death. One of his friends[] said "He was a victim of Ed Gein as surely as if he had butchered him."[8]](http://cdn07.dayviews.com/cdn/img/spacer.gif "bajonettmordet - Arrest
