On November 16th, 1957, Ed Gein was arrested in the tiny town of Plainfield Wisconsin. Suspected of a single murder, what authorities found in his isolated farmhouse would shock the nation. Jenn and Joe tackle their second case by unraveling the twisted life and crimes of the Butcher of Plainfield, Ed Gein. 

Who was he? How active was he? Who were his victims? And were there any close calls?
