Profile of a Serial Killer: Edward Gein

Most serial killers come from dysfunctional families, and they seem to have little love and more abusive tendencies due to a lack of emotional reactions to the horror that they have caused.

These types of people start out sometimes harming animals. They also tend to have issues in school or can't seem to get anyone to like them. Something in the brain triggers them to go out killing.

Could it be revenge, the thrill of it, or too much anger inside? No one really knows but the serial killer themselves. Serial killers have a weird behavior to them and can't seem to tell the truth.

Most of them suffer from severe memory problems, and the majority has experienced alcohol or drug abuse at some point in their life.

They tend to have a high sex drive and abnormal sexual behavior. Most of them have a selected place on where they prefer to orchestrate their killings at. Preferable choices include the woods, lakes, amusement parks, and so on. Some of them only choose to go after one sex to where others don't care who it is. Most serial killers choose victims from their own race, and rarely go outside of it.

Edward Gein was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin on August 27th of 1906. It was a small town that he was born in. His parents names where George and Augusta. He had a brother named Henry. The brothers lives where very hard and complicating. There father was an alcoholic and there mother picked at the father until he was so drunk that he came back at her violently.

When Ed turned 8 his mother kept on there father until he finally bought a 275 acre farm in Plainfield, Wisconsin. There new home was six miles from town and around the woodland.
