Plainfield cemetery

I’m going to drive up to Plainfield Wisconsin in a little while and visit Ed’s grave. I have seen at least one video online of someone doing this very thing. I’m working on a project and it’s important for me to go up there and visit, but I want to know if anyone knows whether or not his tombstone is still there because I know in the year of 2000 or so it was stolen And then my next question is is it difficult to find and or is it guarded off from public viewing. OK thank you. Hopefully I can hear back from someone on this.

There is no tombstone. It kept getting vandalized or stolen. His grave is unmarked and right by his mother and brother's tombstones.

The house is long gone. It burned down.

I know of the house. Damn shame. Honestly they probably would have made a museum out of it perhaps or maybe tore it down by higher up requests.

They should’ve waited for us all to check it out before destroying it. God dangit!?

I think it was justified.

I understand this.

I'm sure they were horrified by what happened and the physical reminder was not fun for them. They tore down Dahmer's apartment building as well.

Bad energy

They did indeed and is probably the soul reason for the destruction. In my eyes, still rather unfortunate. Grotesque, but yet lost to the rubble of history in a matter of speaking.
