Adeline Watkins was reportedly Ed Gein's girlfriend for a period of time, but there is no evidence that Ed Gein did anything violent or harmful to her. In fact, Adeline described Ed Gein as "good and kind and sweet" and said she loved him. She also claimed that he proposed to her in 1955, but she declined the marriage proposal, fearing she would not live up to his expectations. Adeline never visited Ed Gein's home, where his horrific crimes involving murder and grave robbery took place. She was with him primarily around 7 months, not for decades as was initially reported. There is no indication that Ed Gein did anything to harm Adeline Watkins.
In summary, Ed Gein did not do anything to Adeline Watkins apart from being her boyfriend, and she publicly expressed affection for him despite his later exposure as a serial killer.
