During the police investigation into the disappearance of Bernice Worden in 1957, authorities found that Ed Gein had systematically robbed graves and collected body parts, which he used to make household items and clothing. The macabre findings included a chair upholstered in human skin, face masks, and boxes of various body parts. He also had created a āwoman suitā that he could wear. In addition, officials discovered the head of Mary Hogan, a tavern operator who had disappeared in 1954. Geinās āhouse of horrorsā was destroyed by fire in 1958, and the origins of the blaze remain unclear.
