The Butcher of Plainfield

The Butcher of Plainfield

It was strange for Bernice Worden to not be in her hardware store on a Saturday. And it was even stranger that she left without locking the door. Her son Frank, a deputy sheriff, stopped by the store around 5pm and searched for Bernice without any luck. Then he checked behind the counter and felt his stomach lurch. The cash register was open and there were dark pools of dried blood on the floor. Frank was worried but not panicked. He was a career cop and, despite the personal nature of the crime, he immediately took on the perspective of an investigator. He checked the receipt pad next to the register and saw that the last sale was from that morning: a gallon of antifreeze sold to a Mr. Ed Gein, a Plainfield local. Frank knew the Gein family in passing. #truecrime #crimehub Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
