did ed gein help to catch ted bundy

Ed Gein did not help catch Ted Bundy. Although the Netflix series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" dramatizes and fabricates a storyline where Gein assists authorities in tracking down Bundy, this is entirely fictional. In reality, there is no evidence or record that Gein was ever interviewed by the FBI or contributed in any way to Bundy's capture. Bundy was arrested in 1978 mainly due to a routine traffic stop and other investigatory work unrelated to Gein. The series uses this fictional connection as a creative way to show Gein's psychosis and to dramatize events.
