Among the crimes committed in Wisconsin, Edward Theodore Gein had committed the worst. He was a cannibal and one of the most notorious criminals in La Crosse Wisconsin USA. This article focuses on the life of Edward Theodore. Early life and family Edward Gein was born on 27 th August 1906. He lived with his family on a 160-acre farm. He was born in a family of four and his father was named George Gein who was a tanner and a carpenter but a drunkard. His mother named Augusta was a domineering mother who was a religious fanatic and overbearing woman who had full control over his boys. She always taught her boys against the sin of premarital sex and ‘evil’ women. She feared that her boys would turn out to be failures like her husband (Mariotte 6). Edward had an elderly brother who was called Henry. He used to be a bit rebellious unlike his brother Edward who loved his mother. Her mother used to read the bible for them and advises them not to associate with outsiders. The way Augusta brought up her sons was complicated; she never would want to expose them to social life which is vital since she thought that the outsiders would not have a positive impact on her children but negative. Perhaps this was because of her religious fanaticism (Biography 1). Death of his Death His father died in 1940 due to his alcoholism.

His brother had been bruised on the head where the fire had passed and somehow the fire had killed him; unfortunately, people were insinuating that it had to be him who killed his brother. After the death, her son, Augusta who was a German immigrant suffered a stroke that year and his son Edward had to take care of her. He did attend to her mother’s needs but not before long that on December 29 th, 1945 she passed away and Gein was left alone (Berry-Dee 75). His life in crime Since he did not have good social relations he was ‘left alone in the world with no one to tell him what to do and freedom to do as he wished. This was at the age of thirty-nine. Due to some subsidies which were given to farmers to enhance conservation, Edward no longer tilled his farm. It was during this time that he started reading anatomy texts, especially the female anatomy texts, horror books, wartime stories, and in particular accounts of the Nazi atrocities. Alone on the farm, he would only think of sex endlessly such that he became obsessed with it. Also at this age, he was terrified of his sexuality and even thought of himself castrated. He also thought and consideration of a sex change but could not afford it. Edward Gein possessed himself with these horrific stories.
