The third instalment in Ryan Murphy’s crime anthology series delves into the true story of the titular figure - a notorious murderer and body snatcher who gained notoriety in the 1950s when authorities discovered his habit of fashioning costumes out of human skin.
But aside from the horror, another aspect bound to shock viewers in the Netflix series is the depiction of Adeline Watkins (Suzanna Son), who is shown engaging in a romantic relationship with Gein despite knowing about his crimes.
Wondering who the real Adeline Watkins was and where she is now? Read on for everything you need to know about the figure from Monster season 3.
Who was Ed Gein’s alleged girlfriend Adeline Watkins and what happened to her?
Shortly after Gein’s arrest in 1957, a then 50-year-old Watkins (making her older than the depiction we see in the series) told the Minneapolis Tribune that she had been in a relationship with Gein for over 20 years, and described him as “good and kind and sweet”.
Watkins also told reporters that she and Gein shared a love of literature, and that the two often discussed crime in the news.
Watkins went on to add that their last meeting was on 6th February 1955, more than two years before his arrest, when Gein proposed to her: “I turned him down, but not because there was anything wrong with him.”
Watkins’s claims about a 20-year relationship with Gein became a media sensation, with many other publications running the story.
She clarified to the publication that they had dated for less than a year.
Where is Adeline Watkins now?
