===Suspected=== In addition to the murders of Hogan and Worden, Gein was also considered regarding several other unsolved cases in Wisconsin.{{sfn|Schechter|1989|p=95}}{{sfn|Schechter|1989|p=100}} In November 1957, authorities confronted Gein with a list of missing persons cases that had occurred between the death of his mother and Worden. Their suspicions were further aroused after the discovery of Hogan's remains. However, [[lie detector test]]s exonerated Gein of any other murders, and his psychiatrists concluded that his violence was only directed to women who physically resembled his mother.{{sfn|Schechter|1989|p=105}}{{sfn|Schechter|1989|p=177}} * Georgia Jean Weckler, 8, disappeared near her farm home in [[Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin|Fort Atkinson]] at approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 1, 1947.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Georgia Jean Weckler|language=en-US|work=The Charley Project|url=https://charleyproject.org/case/georgia-jean-weckler}}</ref> She was given a lift home from grade school in [[Jefferson, Wisconsin|Jefferson]] by a neighbor who dropped Weckler off at the lane that led from [[U.S. Highway 12]] to the Weckler farm.
