Adeline Watkins and Ed Gein: Separating Fact From Fiction

Adeline Watkins and Ed Gein: Separating Fact From FictionWhen Ed Gein was arrested in 1957, the press needed someone to explain how a monster could hide in plain sight. Enter Adeline Watkins, a quiet woman from Plainfield who claimed a decades-long romance with America's most infamous killer. But two weeks later, she took it all back. So what really happened between them? Did Gein ever actually propose? And why would she lie about knowing the man who'd become the inspiration for Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill? This is the story of a woman who got caught in the media frenzy of a murder case that changed true crime forever, and the truth about what she really knew.#EdGein #AdelineWatkins #TrueCrime #EdGeinGirlfriend #Plainfield1957 #MonsterNetflix #TrueCrimePodcast🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
