>"Ed Gein was a murder suspect"< Not in the disappearance of Walsh. 1. There was no evidence of any murder. 2. Gein was never remotely considered a suspect (circumstantial evidence or known motivation present) RE Walsh.

The issue here is erroneous info from Gollmar's book; the Lars Thompson farm in the period Travis disappeared was in Hancock, not Plainfield. In concert with the 'Dick Travis' name in Gollmar's book, that source is loaded with errors outside of the trial information. Also RE post #1, the '50...

• Lars Thomsen's property was not across the street from Gein, it was about 5 miles away in Hancock. • If Travis was contract-killed, and in that folk knew where Travis & Burgess were going hunting, it's highly doubtful the body would be in that location. • known total of individuals connected...

I'm familiar with the Hartley case basics, but am much moreso knowledgable with Ed Gein, having delved much deeper in researching it than the published sources have gone. Thought I might address a few of the Gein factoids mentioned here, if I may. Not going to 'make or break' anything with...
