Episode two details Ed Gein's murders and the shocking discoveries at his farmhouse. On November 16, 1957, Ed shot hardware store owner Bernice Worden, his second victim after tavern keeper Mary Hogan in 1954. When deputies entered Ed's farmhouse that night, they found Bernice's gutted body hanging in the summer kitchen. Further search revealed a horrific inventory: skulls fashioned into bowls, lampshades made from human skin, furniture upholstered with human tissue, masks from preserved faces, and Ed's "woman suit." Ed confessed calmly to two murders and robbing approximately forty graves. The discoveries shocked Plainfield and the nation, transforming the quiet handyman into America's most disturbing criminal case.
