Jeffrey Dahmer-
Who was Jeffrey Dahmer:
Jeffrey was an American serial killer who killed 17 young men between 1978 and 1991. Jeffrey killed mostly African-American men from gay bars, malls and bus stops. He got them to his house by offering them money or sex and would give them alcohol that was laced with drugs before strangling them to death. He would then sexually assault the dead bodies before dismembering them and disposing of them. He often kept their skulls of genitals as souvenirs. He would often document each murder by taking pictures during and after the process.
Dahmer was arrested in 1991 and sentenced to 16 life terms but was then killed by a fellow prison inmate.
June 1978: Steven Hicks, 18
Dahmer killed Steven right out of high school and took him home to his parents house where he got the man drunk and then when he tried to leave, he hit him in the head and tried strangling him with a barbell. He then dismembered the corpse and packed the body parts into a plastic bag and buried them outside of his parents home. Later on, he exhumed the remains and crushed the bones with a sledgehammer and scattered them a wooded ravine.

September 1987: Steven Tuomi, 25
Jeff checked into a hotel room with Steven and drank together. Jeff ended up falling asleep and when he woke up, Steven was found dead. Jeff had no memory of what happened that night or how he killed Steven. He then went and got large suitcases to transport Stevens body to his grandmother’s basement. When he got the body there, he dismembered it and then masturbated on the corpse before disposing of the remains.
The year after that, Jeff’s grandmother kicked him out because she was tired of him getting drunk in her house but had no knowledge of what other activities had happened down in her basement.

September 1989: 13-year-old Laotian boy
Jeff had a very lucky escape when he encountered a 13 year old boy who had gotten him caught and ended him up with sexual exploitation and second-degree sexual assault charges. He pleaded guilty but also told the court that the boy had looked much older than he was. While waiting for the charges to come through, Dahmer used his grandmother’s basement for another gruesome murder.

March 1989: Anthony Sears, 26
Dahmer lured, drugged, strangled, sodomized, photographed, dismembered and disposed of Anthony, a man who was trying to be an aspiring model.
May 1989: Charges against Dahmer
At Dahmer’s trial for molestation, he was the model of contrition, arguing eloquently, in his own defense, about how he had seen what he had done wrong and that him getting arrested really turned his life around. The defense counsel argued that he needed treatment, not incarceration and the judge had agreed with them. He handed down a one-year prison sentence on “day release” which allowed Dahmer to work at his job during the day and return to the prison during the night as well as a five-year probationary sentence. Dahmer was granted an early release by the judge after only 10 months of his sentence. He then lived with his grandmother for a short amount of time after his release. He did not murder anyone else before moving back to his own apartment.
Over a period of two years, Dahmer killed at least 17 young men. He began disposing of each body with chemicals right after consuming the flesh of his victims. Dahmer experimented on each of his victims by drilling into their skulls and injecting them with muriatic acid while they were still alive.
May 27, 1991: Neighbor calls the police
Dahmer’s neighbor Sandra Smith called the police to report that an asian boy was running around naked through the street. When the police showed up, the boy was incoherent. After the police left the scene, Dahmer continued to kill the boy who would be his 12th kill named Tony Hughes.
July 22, 1991: Dahmer is arrested
On this date, police found body parts in his refrigerator along with polaroid photographs giving away the evidence of Jeff’s murders. Two Milwaukee police officers were tipped off by Tracy Edwards, a 32-year-old African American man who had been found wandering the streets with handcuffs on his wrists. Tracy had told the police that a “weird dude” had drugged and restrained him. When the police got to his apartment, Dahmer calmly got the handcuff key and gave it to the police. Tracy had also told the police that Dahmer had threatened him with a knife in the bedroom. When the police went into the bedroom, they found the photographs.
When searching the apartment, authorities found a head in the refrigerator, three more in the freezer and lots of other horrific things. There were preserved skulls, jars containing genitalia and an extensive gallery of macabre Polaroid photographs of his victims.
1996-
After Dahmer was murdered in prison, a group of Milwaukee businessmen raised more than $400,000 to purchase the items that were used to murder Dahmer’s vitims.
-blades, saws, handcuffs, and the refrigerator that was used to store the body parts.
All the items were destroyed.
Jeff was then sentenced to 15 life sentences in prison which eventually turned into 16. Dahmer was kept away from the other inmates but eventually he convinced authorities to gradually get him more involved with other people. His father sent him books and photos which showed him a sense of religion. Dahmer even got the authorities to allow him to be baptized by a local pastor.
November 28, 1994: Dahmer was killed
On this date. Jeffery Dahmer was murdered by his fellow inmate Christopher Scarver. In prison, Dahmer had to work and was assigned two other inmates to work with. Christopher Scarver and Jesse Anderson were the two other prisoners working with him. These three were partnered up because all of them were convicted murderers. They had all been left alone to complete their tasks and when the guards returned, both Jeffery and Jesse had been badly beaten by Christopher with a metal bar from the prison weight room. Dahmer was pronounced dead after approximately one hour. Anderson succumbed to his injuries days later. In 2015, Scarver told the New York Post his reason for murdering Dahmer. He said that he was disturbed not only by what Jeff had done to his victims but also for his habit of fashioning severed limbs from prison food to antagonize the other inmates with. He also said that the prison had allowed the murders to happen by leaving the men by themselves.
