Ed Gein, a notorious American serial killer, had a troubled childhood marked by a strict, religious mother who heavily influenced his psyche. His relationship with Augusta Gein, who instilled fears about women and morality, contributed to his later crimes, which included exhuming graves and murdering women. His mental health issues, including schizophrenia, played a significant role in his actions, and he was ultimately declared not guilty by reason of insanity and spent his remaining years in a mental institution.
