I believe this should be 1954 and not 1952

The disappearance of another man who lived near the Gein farm was brought to the attention of authorities tonight. This man was James Walsh, 32, a farmer who vanished in June, 1954, leaving his childless wife, 22, in their farm home. http://trib.in/1KINES8

From that link, here is a screenshot of where Walsh’s wife said they lived near Gein and he did work for her after Walsh disappeared.

I don’t have access to the paid part of newspaper dot com. Can anyone locate an article about Walsh going missing? I’m thinking it would be in the Stevens Pt newspaper - they had a Plainfield column.

No articles at Newspapers.com for either Portage County or Waushara County newspapers for 1952. Doesn't mean there were no articles in their newspapers, just that Newspapers.com doesn't have them. In fact they don't have that 1954 article mentioned above. Would prob have to check 1952 SPJournal on microfilm at the local library or get it through inter-library loan. The Waushara Argus was a weekly newspaper published back in the 50's.

>"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.
