Before Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill, there was Ed Gein. He only had two confirmed victims, so how did he become one of the most notorious “serial killers” in American history?
In this episode, forensic psychologist Dana Anderson and serial-killer expert William A. Noguera break down the real facts of the Ed Gein case, from his disturbing skin trophies to his coerced confessions. Tune in to hear what Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story got wrong and what we'll never truly know.
