Over time, the famous Chainsaw Massacre murderer has brought questions from individuals. Many wonder who slaughtered Bernice Worden and their reasoning behind it. This case is still known as an unsolved murder mystery; but after specific research, Ed Gein is responsible for the killing of Worden. Bernice Worden was born in 1899 and murdered on November 16th, 1957. Worden owned a store named after her last name, this is where she was working and last seen the day of her death (Biography.com). There is no real proof of exactly what Bernice Worden was killed with but there is evidence where she was found. Local police went to Gein's house due to suspicion and they found Worden dead inside of his house. This was not even half of the gruesome …show more content…
It appears that he also enjoyed cannibalism, but there is no exact proof to back this up. When searching Gein’s house, the officers found a lot of junk that they had to go through to get the evidence of many dead women throughout his house that they needed to see (Montaldo). For example, “The police officers raided through piles of garbage and an unfathomable amount of junk with only oil lamps to guide them” (Montaldo). This explains how eerie it was inside of Edwards house, not only did they have to move his trash to get from room to room inside of his house, but they never knew what was going to be under the garbage inside of the house …show more content…
The quote here explains only half of the imagery that they saw that day (Buchanan). These instances that have occurred did not trace back to history for Gein. He was a quiet man who did not have any past arrests or charges until he started killing women and local people in the town realized that he was off. Ed had never really been in trouble growing up through life (Mckendry). First, he was not allowed to leave the house other than for school for the time that he attended school. Edward was an outcast to the rest of the world, but still with no charges or arrests against him the world did not think much of him being a murderer or the man that he turned into
Ed...well, he was born and raised in Plainfield. His daddy ran a farm just a few miles outside town. It wasn't long before his daddy up and died–left Ed and his brother alone with that crazy ass momma of their's. That woman was nuts. She went around tellin' them boys that all women was evil. She'd beat'em if they even thought ‘bout courting. When his momma died Ed was near on to thirty years old and still living in his momma's house. He finally took a liking to some gals in town. I guess it was finally safe to talk to ‘em.

The murder of JonBenet Ramsey has become one of the nation's notorious unsolved murder mysteries.

Edward Scissorhands is an unfinished experiment that is afraid of the human race. Brought to the town by Peg, Edward is like a tool to the rest of the townspeople. They only accept him for what he can do and prejudice him as inhuman because of his hands. Edward is a caring person but, his wrong actions outweigh the good deeds that he has done in society. The color scheme of Edward compared to society is different, the townspeople all wear and decorate their houses with very vibrant and attention seeking colors (colorful houses, cars, clothing, hair, etc.). Edward, on the other hand, wears very dark and gloomy colors (full outfit is black, black hair, paler than the townspeople, etc.). As Edward becomes more used to society, he starts to wear human clothing like a white suit shirt and black pants but, never anything too bright like the townspeople. Edwards isolation and rejection from society makes it so that he is afraid of humans and how they will view him. When Edward went to jail, destroyed the plant sculptures, accidentally scratched up Kevin and, attacked Kevin, Society shunned him. They think he is a monster and forces him to become alone again. This change in character development proves that society never accepted Edward. The red the townspeople were wearing when Edward scratched up Kevin symbolizes how he is not human with his scissor hands, cursed to destroy
On August 20th, 1962 Jane Sullivan had been raped and strangled with her nylons. The only black woman to be killed by the hands of the Boston Strangler was Sophie Clark. On December 30th, 1962, 23 year old Patricia Bissette was killed. Then 68 year old Mary Brown met her fate.
Possibly the first crime that Edward committed was killing his older brother. This has significance on the psychological level because Edward’s older brother began to disagree with their mother’s world perspective and I believe this was the motivation for this crime. He loved his mother very much possibly to the point of Parent-Child Relational Problems and could not handle that his brother began to discredit her. Edward was not charged with killing his brother because they were burning a marsh and it was determined to be asphyxiation from the fire. It is suspicious because his brother was not in an area that was burned and his body was found with bruises.
(New Orleans). All the evidence that was found is very unclear, but the next suspect in the murder is Joseph Mumfre.
...ed dead in the Thames River (Schachner). A jury ruled his death a suicide by drowning. Investigators of the case believe that Druitt could have been Jack the Ripper, because around the same timeframe he committed suicide; the murders stopped (Jones). John Douglas noted that serial killers do not suddenly cease their urge to kill (Anderson 69). That would logically explain why there were no more murders were committed.
So the epic story of Ed Gein comes to a close. People know don’t really remember the victims but they will always remember the killer. Most people of today society think of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as unreal but don’t really know it was based of Ed Gein and his gruesome acts.
From the very beginning, Edward is cast as the monster – but is he really? We first see Edward when Peg searches for the owner of a dark, ominous, gothic mansion. She climbs up a set of gigantic spiral stairs that lead to “Edward’s room”. The setting is quite dark and the only lighting is coming through a gaping hole in the roof. Her curiosity gets the better of her, and as she examines this foreign place, we can hear in the bac...

The person I chose to research was Gary Ridgway. He is also known as The Green River Killer. Gary was a serial killer in Washington. He has been convicted of murdering 49 women, he has confessed to around 60 killings, but is estimated to have killed closer to 80 women. All the women that he had killed were prostitutes that he had picked up, had sex with them, and then strangled them. He says that he never raped or tortured any of his victims, he just killed them. Gary started killing prostitutes in 1892 and is confirmed to have killed till 1998, but is thought that his last kill was around 2001. He was called the Green River Killer because his first victims’ bodies were found around the Green River.
