The new series of Monster on Netflix focusing on the murders of Ed Gein has left many viewers asking the same question - did Ed Gein help catch Ted Bundy?

Ed Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield and the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American serial killer and body snatcher and is credited for inspiring many subsequent serial killers .

The Butcher of Plainfield is taking centre stage in the third run of Ryan Murphy's anthology series Monster on Netflix, released on October 3.

Written by the programme’s co-creator, Ian Brennan, it takes viewers back to the 1950s when Gein began his murderous activities in rural Wisconsin; his gruesome activities would go on to inspire the likes of Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.
