Img28.jpgEd Gein: The extremity of his crimes has been the inspiration for a number of movies, including Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic Psycho and 1991's Silence of the Lambs  and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Known as The Butcher of Plainfield, Gein gained notoriety in the 1950s for gein[1].jpgmurdering at least two women and for committing grisly, fetishistic acts on corpses he had stolen from graves. In November 1957 the Plainfield, Wisconsin police, investigating the murder of Bernice Worden, paid a visit to Gein's farm, where he lived alone. Inside the house they found an array of body parts, the disemboweled corpse of a woman and general cannibalistic squalor. Gein was taken into custody and admitted to killing Worden. He also confessed to the 1954 murder of Mary Hogan, but explained that the rest of the corpses around the farm (more than a dozen, all female) had come from robbing local graves. Gein was said to have made many crafts, (like pillows and lamp covers made of human skin) to which were sold and never recovered. (Sweet Dreams) He also enjoyed wearing female body parts and dancing in the Wisconsin moonlight. Deemed insane (you think?) by the court, Gein was given a life sentence of confinement to the Waupan State Hospital. In 1968 he was tried for the murder of Bernice Worden and found guilty, but still deemed criminally insane and sent back to the state hospital, where he died of cancer in 1984.

Sidenote: I actually exchanged greetings with Ed in 1982 while he swept a hallway at the State Hospital in Waupan, Wisconsin in 1983.  I was visiting with a famous Milwaukee Psychiatrist.  I had no idea who he was until we had left and were driving home.  He seemed like a sweet old man, but he was most likely thinking about making a coat of my skin.

Jeffrey Dahmer: (May 21, 1960 - November 28, 1994) was an American serial killer from Milwaukee who killed at least 17 men between 1978 and 1991 (the majority of which occurred in 1991). His name has since become almost a synonym for serial killer.

Most of his victims were young, homosexual black men whom Dahmer subjected to sexual assaults prior to murdering. He achieved notoriety after his arrest following the discovery of his victims' decaying bodies in acid vats in his apartment, including severed heads in his refrigerator, an altar of candles, and human skulls. Accusations soon surfaced that Dahmer had also practiced necrophilia and cannibalism
.

The explanation offered by Dahmer himself for his behavior was that he was attempting to remove the free will from his victims so that they would stay with him. Dahmer had experimented with removing sections of skull and pouring various chemicals into the brain cavity to create an "automaton", compliant to his wishes and acquiescent to his sexual desires, by means of lobotomy and the like.
 
On
July 22, 1991, with handcuffs still attached to one wrist, another man, Tracy Edwards, was able to successfully escape from Dahmer's apartment and flag down a police squad car. Police were led back to Dahmer's apartment, where the remains of eleven victims were found. After being charged with fifteen counts of murder he entered a plea of guilty but insane. On February 17, 1992, a court sentenced Dahmer to fifteen consecutive life sentences which required a minimum of 936 years imprisonment.

He was clubbed to death by a deranged fellow inmate named Christopher Scarver in
Portage, Wisconsin at the Columbia Correctional Institute gymnasium. Scarver stated that he was the "son of God," and was acting out his "father's" commands to kill Dahmer and another inmate on Dahmer's work detail.

Dahmer was born to a fundamentalist father in
Milwaukee. Some feel that repressed homosexuality contributed to his hatred of homosexuals, including himself.

When asked where he thought he went wrong, Dahmer said: "I should have gone to college and gone into real estate and got myself an aquarium, that's what I should have done."

SYBIL: Sybil was born in Wisconsin in the early 1920s. At the age of 37, she was treated by a psychiatrist, Dr Cornelia Wilbur, who came to believe that her patient was a multiple with 16 'alter' personalities. Under hypnosis Sybil had recovered lost memories of a traumatic childhood. Dr Wilbur believed that Sybil's mental illness had been caused by these extreme traumas she had experienced in youth. As a way of coping with the distress, Sybil had split-off, creating 'alter' personalities at moments of crisis in her life. These 'alters' would experience the pain instead of Sybil. It was a compelling theory, that used childhood abuse to explain multiple personalities. A book was published in the 70's bringing much publicity to this case which would also spawn a movie.

Crazy Craig: Abnormally obsessed with Wisconsin, Craig created a site called Cheesehead University.  He used it as a venue for all his bantor and rantings.  The site would save him from full blown dimensia and hide is true mental instability.
