Jeffrey Dahmer is a Milwaukee serial killer who murdered boys of Asian and African descent. His murders were gruesome and involved torture, forced sex with dead or alive captive, dismemberment, and cannibalism.
He was arrested first when caught fondling a young 13 year old boy in Milwaukee and was sentenced to one year in a work release camp. After serving ten months, he was released on probation for his good behavior and that is when his killing spree began. His first murder was at the age of 18, shortly after being released and his first victim was a 19 year old hitchhiker.
There was a much talked about story about a 14-year-old boy who almost escaped Dahmer in 1991. He wandered into the streets without clothes. Police believed Dahmer’s story that the boy was 19 years old and was his partner, and took the boy to Dahmer’s house. In spite of noticing a weird smell there, they left without investigating. Soon after, the boy was killed and Dahmer kept his skull as a souvenir.
Was there something in Dahmers past that made him “crazy?”…Dahmer was the son of a chemist and as a child had a fascination for dissecting dead animals and by the time he was a teenager, was an alcoholic. He dropped out of college and his father forced him to enlist in the Army. But after just two years, he was discharged because of his heavy drinking. Since he did not want to face his father, he moved in with his grandmother and lived with her for six years. His grandmother asked him to move out when he was arrested for exposing himself in public.
Dahmer was finally caught by the police when a would-be victim escaped and alerted them. He was held responsible for fifteen murders and sentenced to fifteen life terms. Dahmer then expressed remorse and wished death upon himself. He was beaten to death by a fellow inmate and died of severe head trauma. Did Dahmer deserve this kind of death, or should he have had to suffer more? I believe he got off easy.
After Dahmer was arrested his home was searched. The things that were found inside the home was astonishing. There were bodies stored in acid filled containers, dismembered body parts found scattered around the house, and wallets and his victims personal belongings. Dahmer’s residence was torn down and now the area is a vacant lot. The money from Dahmer’s estate was split up among the families of the victims.
