Due to prohibitive costs, Gein was tried for only one murder — that of Mrs. Worden. With fewer than three murders attributed to him, Gein does not meet the traditional definition of a seerial killer^.

Searching the house, authorities found:

Four noses
Whole human bones and fragments
Nine masks of human skin
Bowls made from human skulls
Ten female heads with the tops sawn off
Human skin covering several chair seats
Mary Hogan's head in a paper bag
Bernice Worden's head in a burlap sack
Nine vulvae in a shoe box
A belt made from female human nipples
Skulls on his bedposts
A pair of lips on a draw string for a window-shade
A lampshade made from the skin from a human face

^.His case influenced the creation of several fictional serial killers, including Norman Bates from Psycho, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jame Gumb from The Silence of the Lambs.
