Best known for her work as a pop star and social media personality, Addison Rae dusts off her acting skills for a new role in Monster: The Ed Gein Story. The hit Netflix series is back, this time focusing on the crimes of Ed Gein, who is played by Charlie Hunnam.
But Ed has been led by his puritanical mother to believe sex is a sin and that he should fear having children. Adeline has an idea to get him more comfortable around children and introduces him to a family so that Ed can be their babysitter.
By the end of the episode, we see that Ed has kidnapped Evelyn and has tied her up in his basement. The fourth episode opens with Evelyn, now dead, being wrapped in bandages and milk by Ed.
But who was the real-life Evelyn Hartley and what happened to her? Read on to find out.
What happened to Evelyn Hartley, Addison Rae's character in Monster: The Ed Gein Story?
Taking creative licence with the story, the Netflix series suggests Ed committed the crime out of frustration at losing his job as a babysitter when Evelyn recovered from polio.
When he entered the house, he found Evelyn's broken glasses and each of her shoes in different rooms, with one of them in the downstairs living room and another upstairs. Having looked around, he didn't find his daughter. All the rooms in the house were locked but in the basement at the back of the house, there was further evidence of a struggle. As well as an open window missing a screen, there was a bloody footprint as well as blood being found both inside and outside the property.
Several days later, multiple blood-stained items of clothing were located including a bra, pants, a pair of men's trousers and a men's white shirt, which were found in the surrounding area.
Some days later, another local man came forward to police to say that at 7:15pm on the night of Evelyn's disappearance, he almost hit a two-toned 1942 Buick which was speeding westward. He reported that he saw two men and a girl inside, noting that she was sitting in the back with her head slumped forward. He said that he saw the girl some moments prior, standing wedged between the two men but assumed she was drunk and they were helping her.
Evelyn's disappearance led to the biggest search in Wisconsin history and consisted of over 2,000 people getting involved in trying to locate the missing girl. Investigators questioned more than 3,000 people, with mass lie detector tests being run in the La Crosse area for teenage boys in the high school.
Was Ed Gein involved in Evelyn's disappearance?
After Gein was arrested in 1957, he was questioned about the disappearance of Evelyn. He was initially considered to be a suspect on account of visiting family in the La Crosse area on the same evening she vanished.
In November of that year, the police announced that Ed had been cleared of any connection to Evelyn's case. They also cleared him of involvement in the case of Georgia Weckler, an 8-year-old who went missing from rural Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, in 1947.
In 2004, an unexpected development came by way of a recording of Clyde “Tywee” Peterson, who claimed that he had kidnapped and murdered Evelyn with Jack Gaulphair and an unnamed third party. All three are now dead, with Peterson having died of a heart attack in 1974 and Gaulphair dying by suicide in 1967.
To this day, the case of Evelyn's disappearance remains unsolved.
