Texas Chain Saw Massacre?

Question

Where can I find information about the Texas Chain Saw Massacre?

NOT the movie, the real incident that the movie was based on. I want to research the crime, but all I find so far on the net is info on the movie.

Answer 1

If you know the year it happened you can look it up in the old news papers at  the Library.

Answer 2

Ed Gein

"In 1974, the classic thriller by Tobe Hooper, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, has many Geinian touches, although there is no character that is an exact Eddie Gein model.   This movie helped put "Ghastly Gein" back in the spotlight in the mid-1970's."

Answer 3

It was loosely based on the Ed Gein case:
