Read on to get all the details on the American serial murderer and sex offender.
Jeffrey Dahmer’s Life – Who was him?
Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1960 to a scientist father and a teletype machine teacher mother. Although it has not been verified that Dahmer was neglected as a youngster, there appears to have been no shortage of family turmoil. It was well knowledge that his mother frequently quarreled with both her husband and the others who lived around them. She was depressed and had tried suicide before, and his father was gone at college for most of his youth. Dahmer’s parents split up when he was 18 years old.
Before Dahmer had hernia surgery at the age of three, he was a “active and cheerful youngster.” His professors noted that he was a quiet student, and one of them recalled seeing early warning signs of desertion in him.
Dahmer’s fascination in skeletons and other remains of animals likely began when he was a little boy and witnessed his father sifting through the dirt and debris under the house to find a fox skull. He began amassing bug specimens and tiny animal bones (including those of squirrels) to preserve in formaldehyde. Dahmer began collecting road kill after his father taught him to bleach and preserve animal bones so he could dissect them and add them to his collection.
Dahmer did not fit in in his high school. He referred to alcohol as his “medication” and drank excessively in front of his peers. His instructors said he began acting out and making fun of students who had cerebral palsy.
Dahmer dated another boy briefly when he was a teen, but his parents didn’t suspect he was homosexual. Later, he acknowledged that he had fantasized of dissecting a subservient male lover.
Jeffrey Dahmer’s Brother David Dahmer
David Dahmer, Jeffrey’s younger brother, was born to his parents Lionel and Joyce in 1966, making him six years younger than Jeffrey Dahmer. His older sibling came up with the name.
It is reported that Jeffrey Dahmer was severely impacted by the introduction of David, and that he resented David for taking up his parents’ love and attention. David is more extroverted than his more reserved older brother, although Lionel assured Larry King in 2004 that the two “enjoyed themselves as brothers” despite their differences.
In the spring of 1978, after his parents had chosen to split up, David and Joyce went to live with Joyce’s grandparents at Wisconsin, but Jeffrey Dahmer stayed in the family home. Dahmer’s murder spree started soon after.
The revelation of Jeffrey Dahmer’s misdeeds caused David to withdraw from public life, prompting him to adopt a new name and persona. He distanced himself from the relatives by declining to participate in stories about his older sibling.
Shari Dahmer, David’s stepmother, said that he had established a family and job in an interview she gave to Larry King in 2004.
People Who Killed by Jeffrey Dahmer
Between 1978 until the date of his capture in 1991, Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Monster or Cannibal, is believed to have killed at least seventeen people. They were all young males.
On June 18, 1978, he befriended a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and invited him to his parent’s house in Ohio for some beer. Hicks was the first person he murdered.
He used a dumbbell to knock out the 18-year-old, then strangled him, cut him up, and buried his body in a small hole in the backyard.
His second victim, Steven Tuomi, was found dead on November 20, 1987, in a room he had booked at the Ambassador Hotel in Milwalkee.
Dahmer said he invited the 25-year-old back to his room without any intent to kill him, but then woke up to discover the man dead in his bed.
James Doxtator, 14, was his third victim; he met him on January 16, 1988, outside a homosexual bar in Wisconsin.
Dahmer had lured him to his grandmother’s house in West Allis, where he murdered him and stored his body in the basement before dismembering him and throwing his body parts elsewhere. Nothing mortal was ever located.
Dahmer drugged and murdered Richard Guerrero in his West Allis bedroom on March 24 of that year. For a while after he had dismembered and disposed of the 22-year-body, old’s he retained the head.
Dahmer drugged and murdered Anthony Sears at his grandmother’s house on March 25, 1980, exactly one year later. When Dahmer was captured in 1991, police discovered the 24-year-skull old’s and genitalia in a file cabinet in his house.
Dahmer murdered four men in as many months in 1990, all while he was based out of his Milwaukee apartment.
On May 20th, he strangled Raymond Smith to death after giving him sleeping drugs. He then stored the 32-year-skull old’s in a file cabinet, which he had spray painted.
On June 14th, a month later, he poisoned and strangled an old friend named Edward Smith. He messed everything and threw away everything, so he couldn’t take anything away with him.
On September 2, 1990, Dahmer met Ernest Miller outside a bookstore, drugged him, and then stabbed him in the neck at Miller’s apartment.
And then, on September 24th, three weeks later, he went to the residence of David Thomas and dismembered him after first strangling him. Nothing mortal was ever located.
Dahmer went on his most lethal killing rampage in 1991, murdering eight men before being apprehended.
On February 18th, he drugged and strangled 17-year-old Curtis Straughter after luring him to his residence. Dahmer took care to preserve his head, hands, and privates.
On April 7th, Dahmer dug his way through Errol Lindsey’s skull, resulting in Lindsey’s death.
Two days apart in May, he murdered Tony Hughes (age 58) and Konerak Sinthasomphone (age 14). The young person got out of the flat and called the police, but Dahmer told them they were lovers.
Dahmer met Matt Turner at the Chicago Pride Parade on June 30 and later drugged and strangled him in his apartment.
On July 5 of that next month, he drilled through the skull of Jeremiah Weinberger and killed him. On July 15th, he drugged Oliver Lacy and strangled him to death. On July 19th, Dahmer took the life of Joseph Bradehoft, a husband, and a father of three.
When Jeffrey Dahmer Arrested
After luring Tracy Edwards returned to his home on July 22, 1991, Dahmer was arrested by authorities. Dahmer had the 32-year-old guy shackled, but he broke free and alerted two police officers who had been passing by.
The police officers went back to Dahmer’s residence.
He was found guilty of 15 out of 16 murders he committed in Wisconsin and given 15 consecutive life sentences. Because of the homicide he committed in Ohio, he eventually received his sixteenth sentence.
On November 28, 1994, he was brutally murdered by another inmate at Wisconsin’s Columbia Correctional Institution.
