Group Research Project

My group has chosen to do our topic on a psychopath named Edward Gein. What is interesting about this man is he did unruly things to innocent people because he never knew how to act. Growing up as a child he had no father figure only his alcoholic abusive mother was around. He never left the house to socialize with other people. He was always kept at home and never met other people, including women. He has some sort of an obsession with women, that he was skin their body and wear their skin as a mask and act like a women. Back in the 1950's his house was located on a farm far away from town so no one would ever come to his house to socialize so he stayed by himself after his mother died. The only relationship he had with the outside word was gruesome comic books, so he thought it was a normal world. My major is criminology so this has everything to do with my interest. I one day want to be a private investigator and get into the criminal's minds to ask why, how, and what maybe influenced them to act the way they do.

  1. This article sticks out me because I'm interested in things stories that have to do with murder and such criminal acts. For some reason this article sounds like the movie "Silence of the Lambs" I'm wondering if this is the same man that they based that specific movie off of. I think there was multiple movies based on this one man.
