Jeffrey Dahmer - The Milwaukee Cannibal

(pt.1)

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (May 21 1960 – November 28 1994)

Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender. He murdered 17 men and boys from 1978 and 1991. He commited that majority of these crimes between 1987 and 1991. His murders frequently included rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism. He was arrested when his last victim managed to escape and flag down a police car. When police entered his apartment, they were met with the horror of the Milwaukee Cannibal. He was indicted on fifteen murder charges. Dahmer ended up pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. The court however found him sane and guilty on 15 counts of murder and he was given 15 life sentence (the maximum penalty at the time)

EARLY LIFE

Jeffrey Dahmer was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 21, 1960 to Lionel and Joyce Dahmer. His mother Joyce was reported to have had a difficult pregnancy. As a child Jeffrey was described as happy and bubbly. He loved wooden blocks and stuffed animals. He even helped nurse a baby bird back to health with his father Lionel.

When he was 2 his family moved to Iowa where his father Lionel began his PHD at Iowa State University.

When Jeffery was around age 4 he was first introduced to bones. His father swept out the remains of small animals from below their house. Young Jeffrey found himself fascinated by the sounds they made when he let them roll against one another. Jeffrey was reported to have undergone double hernia surgery at age 4 (some sources report it having happened at age 6). After this surgery Jeffrey’s disposition completely changed and he became reserved and quiet. It's believed that this surgery was a huge source of trauma for Dahmer and his sudden change was the result.

At 6 years old his family moved again. This time they moved to Doylestown, Ohio. Jeffrey began first grade at Hazel Harvey Elementary School in nearby Barberton, Ohio. During this time the Dahmer family expanded to include Jeffrey’s younger brother David. David was born on December 18,1966. In elementary school Jeffrey’s teacher reported that they felt he was neglected at home. Tension was certainly growing as his parents fought often when Lionel was home and they even moved to separate bedrooms in the house.

In 1968 the Dahmers move to 4480 Bath Road in Bath, Ohio. Jeffrey switched from Hazel Harvey Elementary School to Bath Elementary School. There has been allegations that during this time in Dahmer’s life that he was sexually abused by a neighbour. However both Lionel and Jeffrey deny this.

Later that year Jeffrey was given a child’s chemistry set after showing interest in the subject. He would use this set to experiment on animals (such as preserving insects in jars, and later impaling cats and frogs on sticks). Childhood friends of Jeffreys recall that he was interested in the insides of the animals, and how their bodies worked.

At age 10 Jeffrey began collecting road kill and bleaching the bones of chickens. His father taught him how to strip the flesh off of road kill using acid. This is likely because he was excited that Jeffrey was interested in chemistry like himself. However, Jeffrey also began decapitating small rodents and keeping insects in bottles of formaldehyde.

Adolescence

Jeffrey began drinking in early adolescence. It's reported that he first drank alcohol at age 13.

He attended River High School where he reportedly had his first homosexual experience and began fantasizing about necrophilia.

Jeffrey continued his “hobby” of collecting road kill from the sides of roads and stripping the flesh with acid. One notable incident is when Dahmer mounted a dog’s head on a stick.

At age 16 Dahmer is said to have developed a noticeable drinking problem and even began drinking scotch in class. Classmates described him as a loner. Ironically, his classmates also described him as a "class clown" and his name even became synonymous with pulling a prank.

In 1978 his parents filed for divorce and his father Lionel moved out.

STEVEN HICKS (18) June 18 1978

In June of 1978 Dahmer committed his first murder at the age of 18. Dahmer met Steven Hicks (18) while Hicks was hitchhiking. Dahmer invited him back for drinks and they both got drunk and had consensual sex. However when Hicks tried to leave Dahmer hit him over the head with a dumbbell which killed Hicks. Dahmer dismembered the body with a carving knife. He later would pulverize the bones with a sledgehammer and scattered around the property. He placed the remains in bags and buried it beneath the house in the crawlspace. It took Police 3 years to find remains.

1978

Lionel and Joyce’s divorce is finalize and Joyce is given custody of David. Joyce and David moved away and Lionel moved back in with his oldest son. Later that year Lionel appealed for custody and won for custody of David.

In the Fall of that yearJeffrey enrolls in Ohio State University where he later dropped out due to his drinking habits.

Out of options Jeffrey did what many young men did in that time and decided to enroll in the army.

Jeffrey Dahmer enrolled in the US army at Fort McClellann in Anniston AL on January 12 1979, with hopes to become a military policeman. He got reassigned to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio TX as a medical specialist. Later on July 13 1979 he was sent to West Germany to serve as a combat medic. In Germany it was reported that he continued to drink heavily.

Dahmer was dishonarbly discharged from the military in 1981 due to his alcohol abuse. Now a free man Dahmer moved to Miami Beach, like most young men at the time, and decided to work in Subway Shop called “sunshine subs”.

October 7 1981 Dahmer was arrested in Bath Ohio for Disorderly Conduct, Open Container, and Resisting arrest.

1982

Dahmer moves to West Allis WI to live with his elderly grandmother.

In 1983 Dahmer admitted to taking home a vial of blood from his job at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center and drinking it. He never tried it again.

1983

Dahmer began his infamous job at the Ambrosia Chocolate Co, and he began attending church. To try and satiate his needs for human contact Dahmer hid in a department store until it closed. He then stole a male mannequin and used it in various sexual ways. Unfortunately his grandmother found it and he later threw it away.

In 1986 Dahmer was arrested for lewd behaviour after he was caught masturbating infront of two 12 year old boys. He was charged with disorderly conduct however and only sentenced to one year probation.

STEVEN TUOMI (25) – 9/15/1987 – September 15 1987

In June of this year Dahmer was accussed of taking people to his private room and drugging them at Club Baths. He was eventually kicked out of the club due to these accusations.

Dahmer would meet 25 year old Steven Tuomi at a gay bar called Club 219. By Dahmer’s perspective they both went to the ambassador hotel, got drunk, and later passed out. When he awoke Tuomi was dead with blood coming from his mouth. Dahmer said that he could not recall the night’s events. With his second murder now committed Dahmer left the hotel to buy a suitcase. He placed Tuomi’s corpse in the suitcase and used it to return to his grandmother’s basement. As he had done previously with Hick’s corpse, Dahmer had sex with the body, masturbated on it, and sliced the flesh off. He then dismembered the remains, placed them in plastic bags and threw them away. It is reported that Dahmer beat Tuomi in an attempt to rip out his heart. Steven Tuomi’s remains have never been found.

December 1987 – Steven Tuomi was reported missing.

JAMES DOXTATOR (14) – January 1988

Dahmer (then 27) picked up Doxtater outside of Club 219 and invited him back to his grandmother’s house with the promise of cash for nude photos. They went back and watched videos and had some drinks. Unknown to Doxtater, Dahmer would drug one of his drinks with a sleeping pill. Once Doxtater was unconscious Dahmer strangled him. He would later dismember the corpse with a knife, and break the bones with a sledgehammer. He later threw the remains into the trash.

This same year, Dahmer’s probation ends.

RICHARD GUERRERO (25) – March 20, 1988 – March 24, 1988

Dahmer picked up Richard Guerrero outside of the same Club that he had met James Doxtater, Club 219. Guerrero was also brought back to Dahmer’s grandmother’s house where they engaged in oral sex. Just like Doxtater, Guerrero was drugged and then strangled to death. His corpse was also dismembered and thrown away.

In April of 1988 a man named Ronald Flowers made a police report that Dahmer had invited him to his grandmother’s house and drugged him. He also reported that he had stolen jewelry from him.

On September Dahmer moved to an apartment on 808 North 24th ST, Milwaukee

ASSAULT ON LAOTIAN BOY (13) – September 26, 1988 (KEISON SINTHASOMPHONE)

Dahmer approached a 13 year old Laotian boy and offered him money to come back to his apartment and pose for pictures like he had persuaded men before. Dahmer was able to convince the young boy to partially disrobe and allow Dahmer to take photos. Dahmer assaulted the boy and fed him Irish Liquer laced with Halcion tablets. When the boy did not fall asleep Dahmer let him go and he returned to his family who took him to hospital.

The next day Police arrested Dahmer at his job at Ambrosia Chocolate Co and searched his apartment. He was charged with exploitation of a child as well as second – degree assault.

At trial Dahmer pleaded not guilty at his preliminary hearing and was freed on $2500 cash bail. His trial was set for May 1989. However shortly after Dahmer changed to a guilty plea.

On May 23 1989 Dahmer was found guilty of 2nd degree assault in the Laotian boy case. He was sentenced to 8 years.

While serving this sentence it was reported that Dahmer would tell other inmates that he hated people of colour and would like to kill 1000 of them. He was also prohibited to have any contact with children.

ANTHONY SEARS (26) – March 29, 1989

Dahmer met Sears at La Cage Aux Folles, a gay bar, and offered him money to be photographed. Like previous victims Sears followed him back to his grandmother’s house and had consensual sex before Dahmer gave Sears a laced drink. Once asleep Dahmer strangled him, committed necrophilia, and dismembered the body. After decapitating the corpse Dahmer boiled the head to remove the skin before he painted the skull. Dahmer intended to keep this skull as a type of trophy. Dahmer also cut off Sears genitals.

In November of 1989 while serving his prison sentence Dahmer was given a 12 hour pass to go home for thanksgiving. Dahmer decided to go to a bar instead and got drunk. He awoke hours later, tied up, to a man sexually assaulting him. He returned to the prison hours late.

Jeffery Dahmer also wrote a letter pleading for leniency, with this he only ended up serving 10 months of his 8 year sentence.

AFTER ARREST

Dahmer is charged with four counts of homicide, from the evidence police find in his home. Dahmer admits that his crimes were wrong and did not shift blame. His bail was set for 1 million dollars. On January 13 1992, Dahmer changes his plea from innocent, to guilty with an insane defense. While Dahmer admitted to killing the fifteen identified victims he continued with his defense that he suffered a mental disease and as such should not be held responsible. On February 15 of the same year Dahmer is found guilty of 15 counts of murder and sentenced to 941 years in Jail.

DEATH

On November 28 1994 Dahmer is sexually assaulted and murdered in prison by Christopher Scarver at age 34. Scarver was a convicted murderer. Dahmers body was cremated, per his request, and his ashes were split among his parents. After Death in December 1995 a judge ordered the cremation of Dahmer’s brain, which had been preserved at the request of Dahmers mother who hoped to have it studied. Joyce hoped that studying the brain would determine whether or not biological factors were behind her sons behaviour. However, Lionel sought out the cremation because that is what Dahmer requested.

PYSCHOLOGY

Conditions: Necrophilia: Lionel Dahmer noticed four year old Jefferys fascination with animal bones collected from beneath the family home. Dahmer also collected dead animals from the sides of roads. Dahmer however did not enjoy the act of killing animals, a big difference from most seriall killers in their youth. He merely was fascinated by their bodies. In High School Dahmers interest would persevere. It is believed that this fascination grew into something erotic in adolescence. Dahmer would gain another obsession at this age: compulsive masturbation. His two biggest interests would slowly began to coincide. Dahmer found the warmth from a recently deceased body arousing, however similiary to how Dahmer took no joy in the killing of animals, Dahmer claims to not be a sexual sadist. He states that he derived no pleasure from his victims’ terror or pain. Dahmer would frequently keep pieces of his victims and use them in his masturbation. He even went so far as to keep on the heads in his locker at Ambrosia Chocolate Co. Dahmer also planned to build a shrine of sorts with the skulls and skeletons of his victims. This was supposed to be a kind of supernatural shrine and help Dahmer stay connected to his victims. Cannibalism: While Dahmer initially admitted to eating one victims bicep because he wanted to try it Dahmer put another victims head and heart in the fridge to eat later. Coworkers reported that Dahmer brought meat from home with a “special gravy” but refused to let any taste it. Dahmer would also keep chopped human meat in his freezer which he shaped into patties. He would later state that he ate his victims to keep them with him forever, similar to why he kept their skulls. Pedophilia: Dahmer was arrested numerous times for exposing himself to minors or molesting them. He somehow avoided capture for these crimes. His adult victims all shared a boyish appearance and were young in age. It isn’t clear whether the allegations that Dahmer was molested by a teenage neighbour are true, but it is common in most pedophile’s background. His father has claimed he was but Dahmer denied it and no charges have been made. Denial is not unusual, however and even more so among men. Exhibitionism: Dahmer’s exhibitionism could be seen as an outgrowth of his pedophilia. In August 1982 Dahmer was charged with drunk and disorderly conduct after exposing himself to a crowd, which included children. Four years later he would be arrested for lewd behavior after he was caught masturbating infront of two twelve year old boys. He confessed to five previous incidents of public masturbating and was sentenced to one year of probation. He was also ordered to seek therapy, which he failed to do. Depression: Paraphilias are frequently comorbid with depressive symptoms. Right before he was arrested Dahmer sought and killed victims while he reported his depressive episodes to his probation officer. Dahmer also alluded that losing his job would be a good reason to kill himself. Substance Dependence: Dahmer had a long, long history of substance abuse. He abused alcohol frequently beginning in high school where a classmate recalled Dahmer drinking scotch in class. Dahmer would continue this behaviour into college where he would often pass out drunk on his way back to his dorm. His alcoholic behaviour also got him dishonourably discharged from the army. According to defense expert Carl M. Wahlstrom M.D, Dahmer had to drink in order to murder his victims and that he did not enjoy that act of killing. Asperger’s Disorder According to Lionel (Dahmer’s father) Jeffery as a young child did not hold eye contact, showed blank facial expressions, was stiff and rigid, and had trouble interacting with other children. Quote from Dahmer “The subtleties of social life were beyond my grasp. When children liked me, I did not know why. Nor could I formu- late a plan for winning their affection. I simply didn't know how things worked with other people.... And try as I might, I couldn't make other people seem less strange and unknow- able. (Silva et

al., p. 1349). “ Silva et al. (2002) belive that Dahmer’s fixation on corpses and body parts allowed him to reimagine them as love and sex objects. Morever, his meticulous fascination with bones and body parts from a young age is also a sign of Aspergers – as much as his social and emotional impairments. It is noted however that borderline personality disorder and Aspergers is difficult to tell apart in adulthood since both impair interpersonal relations and share several core symptoms. Several facts and events in Dahmer’s life seem to actually argue against an Aspergers diagnosis. There was an incident where police caught Dahmer chasing a naked and bleeding 14 year old boy. Dahmer was able to convince the police that nothing was wrong – even though he had a decomposing corpse already in his bedroom.

He’ll open all your doors

And when you speak he’ll look so bored

He’ll wander through your mind and cut up all your cords

So much to explore open all your sores.

put you in his categories all nice and neat

He’ll stay as long as you want when there’s enough to eat.

He’ll cast you in his dream.

on his big screen

behind his eyes you’re his favorite scene

Do something crazy baby say something mean

He doesn’t want your heart he just wants your brain

Doesn’t want to love just wants to play.

And when the field is empty and there’s no more grain.

You’ll do anything to make him stay.

Anything for one more day.
