What a waste of time...
Arrest
Police investigating the disappearance of a store clerk, Bernice Worden, in Plainfield on November 17, 1957, suspected Gein to be involved. Upon entering a shed on his property, they made their first horrific discovery of the night: Worden's corpse. She had been decapitated, was hanging upside down by the ankles and had been split open down the torso like a deer. The mutilations had been performed post-mortem; she had been killed with a close-range blast from a .22-caliber rifle.
Searching the house, authorities found:
* severed heads acting as bedposts in the bedroom;
* skin used to make lampshades and upholster chair seats;
* skullcaps made into soup bowls;
* a human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag);
* a face mask made out of real facial skin found in a paper bag;
* a necklace of human lips;
* a waistcoat, called a "mammary vest," made up of a vagina and breasts;
* and other items fashioned from the parts of human bodies, including a belt made from nipples.
Above all, Gein's most infamous creation was an entire wardrobe fabricated of human skin consisting of leggings, a gutted torso (including breasts) and an array of tanned, dead-skin masks that looked leathery and almost mummified.
