However, Gein remarked that on approximately 30 of his occasions he had managed to come out of the dazed state and put the bodies back and left the grave in good order. Gein admitted to making nine grave robberies and subsequently lead investigators to them; authorities were skeptical as to whether or not Gein could rob a grave within the space of an evening and dug up two of the graves Gein had informed them about; in one instance there was a crowbar in place of the body, which contradicted Gein's story. ~~Gein was accused of committing necrophilia with the bodies he had exhumed, but denounced this claim stating "they smelt too bad."~~ He also confessed that following his mother's death in 1945 he wanted to become her, and began these gruesome acts due to his mother's psychotic hatred of women.
