The next on November 16, 1957. He attacked his last victim in her shop and dragged her body to his truck which was parked at the back. The victim's son recalled that Ed Gein had come to see his mother just before she was last seen. When the police went to his farm, they found her headless body in his shed. They also found his strange human 'furniture' and a refrigerator full of human organs. Gein was arrested and immediately confessed to his crimes. On January 16, 1958 he was judged insane and sent to Central State Hospital at Waupun, Wisconsin. In November, 1968 he was tried again. He was now diagnosed to have chronic schizophrenia, found NGBRI and returned to Waupun. It was later theorised that Gein may have killed 2 men who hired him as their hunting guide, and were never seen again, and 2 other unidentified women whose body parts were found at his farm. In 1978 he was moved to Mendota Mental Health Institute. Gein was a model prisoner and died quietly in his sleep in the geriatric psychiatric ward."</blockquote>
