International News Photos (New York, N.Y.) · November 18, 1957

Edward Gein, 51-year-old farmer, is surrounded by officers and newsmen on his 160-acre farm tonight after discovery of the mutilated and headless body of a 58-year-old woman and ten skulls on his property. It was the all-out search for Mrs. Bernie Worden, a hardware store owner, that led to the discovery of the decapitated body in a shed on Gein's farm.
