did ed gein really help catch ted bundy

Ed Gein did not really help catch Ted Bundy. The portrayal of Ed Gein aiding the FBI in tracking down Ted Bundy, as seen in the Netflix series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story," is fictional and created for dramatic effect. There is no evidence or documentation that Gein was ever interviewed by the FBI regarding Bundy's case or that Gein contributed to Bundy's capture in any way. Ted Bundy was actually captured during a routine traffic stop in 1978, unrelated to Gein's crimes or help.
