The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety in 1957 after authorities discovered that he stole corpses from local graveyards and fashioned keepsakes from their bones and skin.
- He also confessed to killing two women: tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.
- Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility.
