Great post!
Just by way of interest, I looked for information about this little girl who was mentioned above as a possible victim of Ed Gein.
Name: Georgia Weckler
Age: 8 year-old
Date: May 1, 1947
Location: Jefferson, Wisconsin.
Georgia Weckler never came home from school, disappeared.

Georgia Jean Weckler
Above: Weckler, circa 1947
Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: May 1, 1947 from Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin
Classification: Non-Family Abduction
Age: 8 years old Distinguishing Characteristics: Blonde hair, blue eyes.
Details of Disappearance
Weckler was last seen near her farm home in rural Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 1, 1947. A neighbor gave her a ride part of the way home from school, dropping her off at the entrance to the half-mile-long driveway leading up to her home. Weckler told the neighbor that she would go into the woods and pick some flowers for a May Day basket before going home.
The neighbor saw Weckler collect some letters from her family's mailbox and start walking up the driveway, but she never arrived at her house. She has never been heard from again and the mail she was carrying at the time of her disappearance has never been found.
Witnesses reported seeing a dark-colored 1936 Ford sedan in the vicinity that afternoon. The car vanished at the same time Weckler did, and tire tracks were found on the road. It was being driven by a blond man, 20 to 25 years old. This man is the prime suspect in Weckler's presumed abduction. He has never been identified, though many individuals were questioned over the years.
At first investigators believed Weckler had been kidnapped for ransom, as her father was a man of means. Days passed and no ransom demands were made, however. Authorities now believe Weckler was taken by a sexual predator.
Buford Sennett, a convicted murderer who had just started serving a life sentence in prison, confessed to Weckler's murder in the fall of 1947. He claimed that he and a companion he refused to name had kidnapped her for ransom purposes and given her some sleeping pills and she had accidentally overdosed and died. Sennett said he had tossed Weckler's remains into the Blue River near the town of Blue River, Wisconsin. A search of the river turned up no sign of Weckler, however. Sennett was never charged in connection with her case and police are not certain whether he was involved.
Weckler's case received additional attention ten years later, in 1957, when authorities in Plainfield, Wisconsin arrested Edward Theodore Gein for murdering a local female tavern keeper. A photograph of Gein is posted below this case summary. Investigators uncovered a gruesome scene at his farm which is still legendary; many body parts and items such as lampshades made from human skin were located. Almost all of them turned out to be from local cemeteries; Gein confessed only to the murders of two tavern keepers. He was declared insane and sent to a mental hospital, where he died in 1984.
Gein is considered a possible suspect in Weckler's disappearance and also in the disappearance of Evelyn Hartley, who was abducted from La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1953. Neither of them have ever been found. They do not fit the profile for Gein's known victims; both of the people he killed were middle-aged women. Gein also does not match the description of the man believed to be Weckler's abductor, but he did own a Ford.
Weckler's disappearance is no longer under investigation by police, but it continues to puzzle people.

The hunk of land where his farmhouse was is about an hour and a half north of me.

I suppose if I would be compared to this man, there would be nothing in common with me. I'm nicer than him.

Watch this signature the same in both documents. Identical with the same calligraphy pen pressure. Overlap and check.
It's interesting how this small time killer inspired Hollywood with characters like leather face from Texas Chainsaw...
Even though on a "kills" ranking he's a bottom feeder compared to

I haven't seen these posted anywhere else on here, but I figure these would make a good addition.
A mask created from a woman (Apparently one of nine or so masks)
And a nipple belt. High fashion if you ask me-
Both of these supposedly made by Edward Gein.
The mask is genuine or so I believers been posted all over the place, never seen the belt if its genuine good find new to me
He wasn't considered "small time," att. He's one of the originals which keep on living and giving..
One of the originals? meh. On serial killer creativity he gets a C-
So he made his victims into stuff. Woo. (sarcasm)

Hell, people "worship" that idiot Charles Manson and he didn't do jack shit.
They were/are "famous" because no one reads on the OLD school ones.
I really don't like women who treat their men like pussies!!! She fucked his head up!!!
I hate that Charles Manson Pussified twat. & many call him a "serial killer!" Back in Gein's day It was unheard of, yet there have been others - through out human history... more known to us with technology. I'll tell you one that is fascinating (imo) is Countess Bathory, wow.
Gein was boring, he was just a very ill man.
He's only famous because of all the tv/film that came off his weird behaviour.
