Wisconsin Man Accused of 13-Year Stalking Spree Found with Gruesome Collection Including Alleged Serial Killer’s Brain

POLICY WIRE — Fond du Lac, Wisconsin — A Wisconsin resident, Benjamin C. Larson, has been charged with felony stalking following allegations of a 13-year campaign of harassment against his former girlfriend. The disturbing case took a darker turn when authorities uncovered a macabre collection in his home.

Larson, 47, is accused of persistently contacting the woman through letters, cards, and emails after their brief relationship ended in 2013. He allegedly filed complaints against her with professional licensing boards across multiple states when she ceased communication.

The situation escalated in November 2025 when Larson reportedly sent a card to the woman’s workplace, vowing to continue his attempts to reach her. A subsequent card, sent to her home address which she claims she never shared with him, mentioned her husband and child by name and hinted at his presence in Madison as part of his therapy.

Authorities executed a search warrant at Larson’s residence on August 14, leading to the discovery of a basement filled with unsettling items. Among the findings were a grave rubbing linked to serial killer Edward Gein, 10 binders titled Edward Gein Book, and artifacts purportedly taken from Gein’s grave. Cartridges similar to those used by the Zodiac Killer were also reportedly found.

The collection included a mummy labeled “Princes Taheb 1600 BC” and a jar said to contain a piece of John Wayne Gacy’s brain. Gacy was executed in 1994 after being convicted of murdering 33 boys and young men in Illinois. Authorities also discovered what appeared to be six human skulls, a partial skull, a human jawbone, and additional skeletal remains inside a glass casket.

The origins of the remains are under investigation, with a forensic anthropologist examining them to determine their authenticity and whether they are modern or ancient Native American remains.

In a padlocked basement bedroom, investigators found a lifelike silicone doll under a blanket on a bed, with a painting of a naked woman resembling the alleged stalking victim hanging above it. A black portfolio contained 25 pages of handwritten journals belonging to Larson, in which he expressed frustration over the woman’s marriage and child and detailed his nocturnal visits to her home while dressed in black, wearing gloves and a mask, and carrying a machete.

Larson has been charged with one count of stalking. If convicted, he faces up to three years and six months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
