His father, mother and older brother had having died leaving Ed totally alone. Among other things, Gein was a necropheliac, who robbed graves of the recently dead. Ed was content with this arrangement for a while.

They found the missing women (dead) and body parts of the stolen corpses made into belts, hats and a 'body suit' made of human skin sown together. Gein would wear this 'suit' around his farm.
