He quit school in his junior year and had a failed attempt in the Navy.True crime fanatic? Check out our limited edition Charles Manson socks!Because of Appleton's erratic behavior, he was court-martialed and sent home dishonorably. Spanbauer increased his criminal activity in Appleton. He burglarized homes and finally raped a young woman who was housesitting. That same night, he murdered the woman’s uncle as he was returning for the evening. Spanbauer only spent 13 of the 70 years he was sentenced for the crimes.He had no remorse and did not change his ways. In two short years (1992-94), he savagely raped and murdered three more females—two of them children.

In 1968, Gein was found guilty but legally insane of the murder of Worden, and was remanded to a psychiatric institution.
