Gein, who, like Dahmer, was from Wisconsin, became notorious in the 1950s when investigators discovered that he not only murdered many individuals but also dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and apparel from human parts. Gein’s case inspired several important pop culture characters, including Norman Bates in “Psycho” and Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs.”
