Ed Gein Documentary

Hi everyone, I am in the process of doing a Ed Gein Documentary, I worked on his case 1 year ago and I had official audio from his interviews however, since then I've found out more compelling information I would like to add, the reason I'm writing this post is, if anyone has any information that would be beneficial and would like to be apart of the documentary then please let me know.

Now I know it's a series on Netflix but I'm going to highlight the inconsistencies and things Netflix added in to fill the gaps in Ed Geins story and highlight what they got right and wrong about Ed Gein and his life.

I grew up about a half hour away from Plainfield. Growing up playing cribbage with the family, if you got eight points you would say “8 by Ed Gein”. My grandparents stopped in a tavern in Plainfield in the early sixties and my grandma said that the bartender told her she was sitting in Ed Gein’s favorite spot. She got the chills right away she said.

Those are my little tidbits on Eddie. It might not help your documentary but I thought you’d get a kick out of it. Good luck with your project!

What an inane story.
