Ed Gein's legacy places him as one of the most depraved serial killers in US history. Less remembered for his murders, the meek and simple Ed Gein kept a mortifying collection of paraphernalia fashioned from human remains on display in his farmhouse. His collection marked a new disturbing level for the criminally insane in the mid-1900s. His crimes became a revelation to the world, showing the public what killers were truly capable of, and his notorious legacy went on to inspire some of the darkest tales in American folklore, including Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

261: Kidnappings, Murders & An Island of Horrors: Michigan's Most Haunting Cold Case
At least four children were abducted and murdered in a serial killing spree between 1976 and 1977 in the Metro Detroit suburbs of Oakland County, Michigan. Authorities launched the largest homicide task force in United States history at the time. The culprit— or culprits— held the children captive for several days. They groomed, fed, and murdered them before dumping their bodies by public roadsides. The case has gone unsolved for decades, with victims' families desperate for answers. Evidence points to several promising suspects, but since none of the murders have ever been solved, some argue a cover-up is at play.
