Ed Gein Case

In Brant County, 1896, Lillie Carpenter died in her home despite the efforts of her neighbour, Margaret Gillies, and her husband, Robert Carpenter, to revive her. Dr. Peter Jones and Dr. Robert McDonald examined the body and found bruises on Lillie's arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen and head. Dr. Jones then concluded that death occured as a result of bodily trauma and Robert Carpenter was convicted of manslaughter. The evidence most strongly presented was that of his suspicious behaviour of locking his wife in thier home and telling two different accounts as to her condition the day she died. Though this dual account of Lillie's conidiotn is rather questionable, in consideration that the locked door was mentioned numerous times in the trial it suggests that these instances are more attunted to a character analysis of Carpenter and not a determining factor is he beat his wife. During the trial abuse allegations, supposrted using witness testimony,however, were used as evidence to support Robert was a violent man. These allegations,however, do not cocnlusively demonstarte Crapenter's guilt as the witnesses do not have a clear line of visions to determine if Carpenter had beat his wife. While Lillie sustained brusing on her upper body and her skull, causing congestion in the brain, her syptoms leading up to her death suggest that she could have dided of water poisoning.

November 26, 2000 sixteen year old Leanne Tiernan mysteriously disappeared after a shopping trip with a friend. Her sudden disappearance led to a nine month long search in hopes of finding her still alive. During August of 2001, the body of Leanne Tiernan was found in Lindley Woods about ten miles away from her home in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. A man walking his dog in the park, discovered the body in a shallow grave. A plastic bag was wrapped around Leanne’s head, was held in place with a dog collar while a scarf and cable tie were wrapped around her neck as well as bonding her wrists together.

So he lived alone in his barn with nobody. So he went to dig up graves to get women that looked like his mom to get “Company”. He also wanted to act like a girl after his mom's death so he can feel closer to her so he made a woman suit.

Worden with the same weapon and he found her at the hardware store and, he placed her head in a burlap sack (a bag) .

This paper is based on the life of Ed Gein. He was an unusual character, born on a farm, and raised by a religious crazy, domineering mother. In the space of a few years his entire family passed away and he was left to take care of his farm all by himself. In the next few years he became a grave robber, a necrophiliac, a cannibal, and also took up arts and crafts in body parts. He is known as one of the weirdest serial killers of the twentieth century. He also inspired movies like Psycho, Silence of The Lambs, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

	What makes the Fall River murders so confusing is that the motive, the weapon, and the opportunity for such a crime are all absent. They found no money or jewelry missing, not even small amounts of change were taken in the daytime break-in at the Borden home a year earlier. The home had been locked up as usual, the maid Bridget Sullivan-an Irish immigrant, 26, that had been working at the household since 1889-was washing windows, and daughter Lizzie was inside the house reading a magazine. Even if both were involved for some reason in this shocking crime, what became of the blood so conspicuously missing from the bludgeoned corpses?

On Saturday, December 1, 1900, a man named John Hossack was killed in his sleep with a hatchet by his wife, Margaret Hossack. The story told by Margaret was that she had heard what sounded like two boards banging together and by that time the attacker had fled and she didn’t catch a glimpse of him. The next thing she saw was her extremely wounded husband, John, who had a five-inch cut into his head and a fractured skull. A doctor, who came and examined John, and said there was no hope and John died the next morning. As an investigation started, a burglary was thought of as the first motive but the idea flawed because nothing was stolen so the idea was quickly abandoned. In the 4 days between the murder and the funeral, the police talked to

The doc says his skull was smashed all to pieces just like from a sledgehammer. That 's why it ought to be easy to find… Whoever done it, they 're not going to be carrying a thing like that around with them longer than they need...Personally, I think it 's right here on the premises. Probably right under our very noses...And in the other room, Mary Maloney began to giggle.” This is careless of her for not owning up to what she did and instead laughing at it.

The Jefferson County Egan Murders are nothing of surprise to anyone. On the cold dark night of New Years in 1964 Gerald and Peter along with their sister Barbra Egan were found killed at the rest stop on Interstate 81 in Watertown NY. The murders were carried out very well leaving little evidence behind on the scene. The murder weapons were suspected to be a .38 and a .25 caliber handgun and possibly a semi-automatic rifle.

Upon looking around the rest of the house, the police found whole human bones and fragments. Part of Edward Gein’s “art” collection included a wastebasket and chair seats composed of human flesh, skulls on bedposts, a corset constructed with a female torso skinned from shoulders to waist, leggings made from human leg skin, and masks created from the skin of female heads. On November 21, 1957, Gein was arraigned on one count of first-degree murder in Waushara County Court, where he pled not guilty by reason of insanity. Found mentally incompetent and thus unfit for trial, Gein was sent to a central state hospital that was strictly housed for the criminally insane.

Gollmar. Soon, a second trial dealt with Gein's sanity. After testimony by doctors for the prosecution and defense, Gollmar ruled Gein "not guilty by reason of insanity" and ordered him to the Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Gein spent the rest of his life in a mental
