Edward Theodore Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) was an American murderer, possible serial killer, and body snatcher from Plainfield, Wisconsin. In 1957, police discovered that Gein had been stealing bodies from local cemeteries and keeping parts of them in his home. He also admitted to killing two women: Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden. When police searched Gein's house, they found many things made from human body parts. Gein was found not fit to have a trial and was sent to a mental hospital. Gein died in 1984 from problems caused by lung cancer at the age of 77.
