Edward Theodore was born on August 27, 1906, the latter of two children of Augusta and George Gein of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Eddie wasn't born into the happiest, most well developed, and compassionate family. His mother was a deeply religious woman who despised her alcoholic husband. Seeing him unfit to raise her boys she took it upon herself to raise Eddie and his brother, Henry, according to her beliefs and infused the teachings of the bible in her two sons as best she could. Even going as far as warning her sons of the harlots that women were in hopes to discourage them of any sexual desires.

At the age of eight Eddie's mother moved the family to a 195-acre farm in Plainfield, Wisconsin to further separate her and her sons from the "evils" of the outside world that could disturb her family. Ed was extremely secluded from other people and his whole life Augusta saw to it she was his only friend. When he would att

During the time Eddie was being psychologically tested police continued to search his farm for more evidence to prove or disprove that Eddie killed more people. Other than the bodies of Bernice Worden and Mary Hogan they found the remains of eight other women. Eddie claimed that they were taken from local graveyards but the police thought that he may have killed far more people than he admitted to. They found that Ed had in fact been telling the truth because the graves had been tampered with and body parts were missing.

empt to make friends his mother would scold him severely. Ed and Henry were often verbally abused by their mother and even throughout their early maturity remained removed from people outside of their family. Even with the constant abuse Ed endured from his mother he still remained loyal and obeyed her as best he could.

At one point Henry openly criticized his mother, which upset Ed greatly. On May 16th, Henry mysteriously went missing while he and Ed were fighting a brush fire close to their farm. Eddie called together a search party to help him find his brother. After reaching the farm Ed led them directly to the "missing" Henry. Lying dead on ground untouched by any fire was Henry, unburned, with bruises on his head. The police quickly dismissed foul play because they couldn't believe that gentle Eddie could have killed the brother that he had looked up to so much. Asphyxiation was reported as the cause of death.

He spent the rest of his life at Central State, but after a long fight with cancer Ed died on July 26 of 1984. He was buried next to his mother not far from the graves he had robbed years before.

Of course in court Gein's sanity was questioned. Some thought he wasn't able to stand trial for reasons of insanity. After many tests Gein was labeled a schizophrenic and a "sexual psychopath." What had caused this? Augusta Gein.
