This is Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. He was also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal.
He was an American serial killer and sex offender who committed the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991.
He was an American serial killer and sex offender who committed the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991.
He was born in Milwaukee, on May 21, 1960, to Lionel and Joyce Dahmer. He was described as an energetic and happy child until the age of 4 when surgery to correct a double hernia seemed to effect a change in the boy.
Noticeably subdued, he became increasingly withdrawn following the birth of his younger brother and the family's frequent moves. By his early teens, he was disengaged, tense and largely friendless.
His compulsions toward necrophilia and murder began around the age of 14, but it appears that the breakdown of his parents' marriage & their acrimonious divorce a few years later may have been the catalyst for turning these thoughts into actions.
He took the lives of 17 males between 1978 - 1991. Over the course of more than 13 years, he sought out men, mostly African American at gay bars, malls & bus stops, lured them home with promises of money or sex & gave them alcohol laced with drugs before strangling them to death.
He would then engage in sex acts with the corpses before dismembering them and disposing of them, often keeping their skulls or genitals as souvenirs.
He frequently took photos of his victims at various stages of the murder process, so he could recollect each act afterward and relive the experience. 😩
His first murder occurred just after graduating high school in June 1978, when he picked up a man named Steven Hicks & took him home to his parents' house.
He proceeded to get the young man drunk; when Steven tried to leave, Dahmer killed him by striking him in the head and strangling him with a barbell.
He dismembered the corpse of his first victim, packed the body parts in plastic bags and buried them behind his parents' home.

He later exhumed the remains, had sex with it before he crushed the bones with a sledgehammer. 😩
It wasn’t until September 1987 that Dahmer took his second victim, Steven Tuomi. They checked into a hotel room and drank, and Dahmer eventually awoke to find Tuomi dead, with no memory of the previous night's activities.
He bought a large suitcase to transport Tuomi's body to his grandmother's basement, where he dismembered and masturbated on the corpse before disposing of the remains.
Only after Dahmer killed another two victims at his grandmother’s home did she tire of her grandson's late nights and drunkenness, although she had no knowledge of his other activities, but she forced him to move out of the premises in 1988.

That September 1989, Dahmer had an extremely lucky escape: An encounter with a 13-year-old Laotian boy resulted in charges of sexual exploitation and second-degree sexual assault for Dahmer. He pleaded guilty, claiming that the boy had appeared much older.
While awaiting sentencing for his sexual assault case, Dahmer again put his grandmother's basement to gruesome use.
In March 1989, he lured, drugged, strangled, sodomized, photographed, dismembered and disposed of Anthony Sears, an aspiring model.

As years progressed, Dahmer's victim count accelerated, bringing his total from four to 17. He developed rituals as he progressed, experimenting with chemical means of disposal, and often consuming the flesh of his victims.
Dahmer also attempted crude lobotomies, drilling into victims' skulls while they were still alive and injecting them with muriatic acid.
Dahmer's killing spree ended when he was arrested on July 22, 1991. The body parts found in Dahmer’s refrigerator and photographs of his victims became inextricably associated with his notorious killing spree.
Dahmer’s trial began in January 1992. He initially pleaded not guilty to all charges, despite having confessed to the killings during police interrogation.
On February 15, 1992, the court returned after approximately 10 hours' deliberation to find him guilty, but sane, on all counts. He was sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms in prison.
While in prison, he raped his cell mate, strangled and masturbated on another inmate's corpse.
He was killed on November 28, 1994, by his fellow prison inmate Christopher Scarver.
