The dark pencils angel. So, yeah, so if you need a palate cleanser, head on over there. But we are at the conclusion of the Gein saga. Oh. And we got through the worst of it, I would say. This is really the wrap up. This is what happened afterwards. This is kinda where he fits in into, kind of pop culture at this point, how that evolved. We told you I told you all the terrible stuff in the last episode. That was for sure the heaviest one, which is why we needed a little bit of a breather for this one. When we last left you, he had been found and caught and Yeah. Was not super forthcoming about what was happening. Every once in a while, he would spill spill his guts a little bit, but he was he was pretty tight lipped. But that led to a lot of people speculating. There was lots of cannibalism, necrophilia talk, all these rumors. None of them were substantiated at the time. They were just rumors because of the macabre and very ghoulish reality of that house and what they found. They weren't really going very far to find these rumors. It was just kind of naturally occurring out of this because no one had ever seen anything like this before and probably never did again. Yeah. I mean, this is a very and I think that's why this case, and I'll talk about it later, but I think that's why this case is so enduring. Is because it's just what the fuck. It's like All over the place. What the fuck. And especially at this time in period, it's like this was like, what the fuck? And in the Midwest, it's like, you know, America's heartland. And it's like tiny little town where nothing's happening. Town, and everybody and everybody knew this guy. That was the other thing. It's not like this.

Stop telling you that. I know. I can't help it, but As these rumors of cannibalism and necrophilia are spreading like wildfire, investigators were working very diligently in an attempt to get
Orally gray cities on either coast. Oh, wow. Not in the center of the country. This is just formal shit. But still, I'm sure a lot of people look back and were like, I wish I'd said something there. Like, you know, I don't know. Of course. But again, that's probably where their minds were. We're in the mid center of the country where it's supposed to be safe. It's supposed to be quiet. Again, the in cold blood, clutter family murders haven't even happened yet, which set off, like, you know, panic everywhere. Mhmm. So you can see why people are just like, that doesn't happen. Like, people will just murder people. Yeah. What are you talking about? This is a quiet town where nothing ever happens. Yeah. Steve Morrison is not voicing anything over. He isn't yet. Now November 16th marked the beginning of deer hunting season in Washara County. And this was a time when nearly every man and boy ventured out into the woods, hoping to bag the 1st deer of the season. And with so many people headed out to the woods, Ed figured the town would be virtually empty. So it was the perfect time to put his plan into motion. Oh, after he finished his breakfast around 8 AM, he loaded a large gas can into his 1947 Sedan and he headed into town, stopped at a gas station to fill the can, and from there he headed over to his destination, which was Warden's Hardware and Implement Store. Now, Warden's had been a Plainfield institution since the 18 nineties. And in 1957, it was owned and operated by 58 year old Bernice Warden, who was she was the daughter of the original owners. She would occasionally be assisted by her son, Frank, because Bernice herself had expanded the business so much Hell, yeah. That she needed help running the place because she was such a badass business lady. Love that. And like I Bernice was a badass all around. She was a business beast.
