Jeffrey Dahmer

David Dahmer, Jeffrey's younger brother by 7 years, has changed his name and moved on with his life. Dahmer's mother died of cancer in 2000, and Lionel Dahmer has since remarried and retired and lives a quiet life.

No Jeffrey Dahmer only killed men and boys

Yes -- he had a younger brother, David, who changed his name after his brother became notorious, though he kept in touch with Jeffery.

Dahmer's younger brother David is alive but his whereabouts are unknown. After Jeffrey's arrest and trial David changed his name and moved away. I think only the family knows where he is.

Steven Hicks, Dahmer's first victim, was murdered by Dahmer in 1978 while Dahmer lived in Bath, OH. Ohio citizens voted in favor of a death penality in 1981, several years after Hicks was killed, therefore Hicks' was not death penality case on that technicality.

When Jeff Dahmer reached puberty he discovered that he was homosexual. Although he never formally had a girlfriend, he did take a girl to the prom. The most likely reason for this was to hide his homosexuality from his parents.

No, She is not. She unfortunately died of breast cancer in the year 2000. she is buried in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jeffrey Dahmer's trial was anticlimatic. There was literally truckloads of physical evidence and Dahmer's confessions. His trial was for the most part a formality. He was sentenced to multiple 'life with no parole' for multiple murders, but it saved him from lethal injection, which in hindsight would have been a waste of taxpayer's money since Dahmer was beaten to death by another inmate.

Hear are some youtube videos of the court room http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14fFJOz2ioM

actually, he died 3 years later on nov 28 1994

Jeffrey Dahmer was not at risk for lethal injection or any other form of capitol punishment as Wisconsin did not have the death penalty.

The trial itself served as much more than just a mere 'formality'. The purpose for the trial was to determine weather or not Jeff Dahmer fit the criteria of legally insane as set forth by the state of Wisconsin. The burden of proof sits with the defense in such a case. The result of the trial however did not find him to be legally insane by the states definition. He was subsequently sentenced to 975 in prison of which he served only 3 before being murdered by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

According to Jonathan Pincus, Chief of Neurology at Veterens Adm. Hospital, Washington, DC, Georgetown University, after examining killer Ted Bundy he found Bundy's brain function normal but that Bundy had symptoms that suggested manic depression and grotesque sexual abuse.

It was not noted if the onset of Bundy's depression was lifelong or had come after incarceration.

He enlisted in the army but was kicked out for drinking too much. Later on he found a job at the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory. He was arrested for drugging and sexually fondling a 13-year-old boy in Milwaukee named Somsack Sinthasomphone who was the little brother of Dahmer's thirteenth victim Konerak Sinthasomphone who he killed aproximately four years after he molested Sonsack. He was sentenced to five years probation and one year in a work release camp. He was required to register as a sex offender. Dahmer was paroled from the work release camp two months early, and he soon moved into a new apartment. Shortly thereafter, he began a string of murders that ended with his arrest in 1991.

Jeffrey Dahmer killed most of his victims by sedating them by putting large ammounts of a benzodiazapine in their drinks,and once they were good and sedated, he would strangle them,then,AND ONLY THEN, he woulod dismember them.

Jeffery Dahmer was responsible for killing at least 15 Asian and black men.

Jeffrey Dahmer was responsible for a series of gruesome murders of 17 young men from 1988 until he was caught on July 22, 1991, in Milwaukee.

He would drug them, sometimes torture them and then kill them usually by strangulation. He would then masturbate over the corpse or have sex with the corpse, cut the body up and get rid of the remains. He also kept parts of the bodies including the skulls, which he would clean much like he did with his childhood road kill collection and often refrigerated organs which he would on occasion eat.

He was a serial killer. He was beaten to death by a fellow inmate in Columbia Correctional Institution on 11-28-94.

Dahmer was born Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960 to a fundamentalist family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At age eight, his family moved to Bath, Ohio, near Akron. He was always painfully shy and suffered from low self-esteem. As a child he was molested by a neighbor. First his father left the home. Then after a bitter divorce, his mother took his brother, and left Dahmer with his father. His parents weren't speaking and Dahmer didn't even know how to contact his mother and brother. Dahmer's history of abandonment left him with feelings of loss and rejection.

When young, impaled the heads of animals he killed on stakes in his yard. He collected dead animals and had necrophilia desires. His stepmother Shari Dahmer said, "When he was young, he liked to use acid to scrape the meat off dead animals." She recalled during the late 1980s, an odor emanated from the basement and garage prompting Lionel, Jeffrey's father, a chemist, to investigate. He found "bones and the residue in the containers." Jeffrey told him he stripped flesh from an animal he found. "

As a teen, he had fantasies of killing and mutilating men. After graduating from high school at age 17 he was left alone at home, without money, or food and a broken refrigerator. It is believed by some that this experience, abandonment, and mental illness, gave him the justification he needed to commit crimes. However his own history shows that he had serious problems long before this event.

His stepmother Shari Dahmer said he was a gentle person until he got drunk, then it took four policemen to hold him down.

In 1978, he committed his first murder in Bath Township, Ohio, at age 18. He killed a young hitchhiker, Stephen Hicks, he invited to his house, where he killed him with a barbell, then smashed his bones with a hammer because he "didn't want him to leave." He wouldn't kill again for another nine years. He did not do well in college. Encouraged by his father, he joined the military where he became an army medic. He was discharged for drunkenness. Jeffrey lived in West Allis, Wisconsin with his grandmother for six years. Eventually he got a factory job in Milwaukee. He discovered gay bars and picked up Steven Toumi, 24, his second victim in 1987.

In 1988, he was arrested for sexually fondling a 13-year old boy. He served 10 months incarcerated and was required to register as a sex offender. His father would later write that when Jeffrey was convicted of child molestation, it him that he would "never be more than a liar, an alcoholic, a thief, an exhibitionist, a molester of children."

Dahmer killed another 15 young men; by July 1991 he was claiming one victim a week. His fantasy was for a compliant sexual partner, and necrophilia. Most of Dahmer's all male victims were minorities, usually African Americans. Dahmer was not really a racist, he chose predominantly black and other minority victims because he lived in a predominantly ethnic area.

In gay bars, he offered young homosexual and bisexual males money to pose for photos or to watch videos and drink beer at his place. He drugged victims into a deep sleep with spiked drinks before strangling or stabbing them to death, having anal sex with the cadaver, and then dismembering them with a hacksaw. Their heads and genitalia were kept as trophies, biceps and other muscles were frozen for future consumption. Dahmer said human flesh "tasted like beef." The remainder was boiled with chemicals and acids before being washed down the drains. He conducted lobotomies some victims. Most died instantly, he poured acid into a hole drilled in his victim's skull; the victim lived and functioned in zombie state for several days, according to Dahmer.

In the early morning hours of May 27, 1991, three police officers were routed to a 911 call from a rundown Milwaukee suburb. Sandra Smith, 18, and Nicole Childress, 18 her cousin witnessed an incoherent Asian boy running around naked, and bleeding. Even though he couldn't speak English it was obvious that he was frightened of the white man following him out into the street trying to get him to return to the apartment. Dahmer, 31, told police the boy was his 19 year old lover, and they having had a lover's quarrel. After police escorted the child to Dahmer's apartment, they left him to die, despite the concerns of the two women who reported the incident. His calm demeanor hid the mind of a psychopath. Dahmer strangled Konerak, abused his body before dismembering it, to keeping some parts to eat and his skull as a trophy. If the police had run an identity check on Dahmer they would have learned he was on probation for a child molestation conviction. Instead Konerak and four more young males had to die.

Police transcripts show the officers joked and laughed about the incident with the dispatcher. "Intoxicated Asian, naked male was returned to his sober boyfriend," the cop reported adding his partner "is going to get deloused." Glenda Cleveland, whose daughter and niece reported Sinthasomphone to the police, later called the police asking repeatedly what was done with the "child." An officer from the scene responded, "It wasn't a child, it was an adult . . . It is all taken care of . . . It's a boyfriend-boyfriend thing."

They didn't check the boy's ID. They didn't note the drill holes in his head. They didn't notice the stench of the decaying bodies at the apartment, and hey made discriminatory jokes about "homosexual lovers" and about "getting deloused."

The 13th of Dahmer's 17 victims was 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone, a Laotian teenager, the older brother of the boy he was convicted of molesting in 1988.

Two cops were driving through Dahmer's neighborhood late on July 22, 1991, when they saw a dazed black man with a single handcuff on his wrist. Tracy Edwards, 32, told them about watching a video with a "weird dude," and being drugged, handcuffed, and threatened with a knife. He had fought back and escaped from the apartment. The cops had him take them to the apartment.

Dahmer answered the door and explained that he lost his job at a chocolate factory, (true), got drunk and lost his temper. When he went to get the handcuff key to from his bedroom, a cop followed him in. The stench of death and rotting flesh was overwhelming. He spotted Polaroid photos of dismembered bodies and skulls in a refrigerator. He went into the kitchen and the refrigerator covered with Polaroids of mutilated men. He screamed when he opened the door. A human head sat on a refrigerator shelf.

"There's a goddam head in here," he screaend to his partner.

Dahmer's fought back hard as they handcuffed him. Edwards recalled Dahmer's threats to "cut out your heart and eat it." Three more heads and human meat were in the freezer, were in the freezer. Hands from several victims and a penis were in a stockpot in a close. Two boiled skulls painted grey were on a bedroom closet shelf. Male genitalia were also found preserved in formaldehyde. A bottle of chloroform was found that which had been used to drug the victims. There were hundreds of photos of victims before, during the murders, and after death.

There was an altar of candles and human skulls in his closet. He planned to create a shrine using skulls, human trophies and a statue of a griffin he owned to honor evil. He said it would give him "special powers and energies to help him socially and financially."

Dahmer told Detective Patrick Kennedy during questioning:

"I have to question whether there is an evil force in the world and whether or not I have been influenced by it. Although I am not sure if there is a God or if there is a Devil, I know that as of lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about both."

He was held for trial on a $1 million bond.

Dahmer admitted to his crimes. He made no excuses and blamed nobody but himself. Wisconsin does not have capital punishment. After being charged with fifteen counts of murder, he entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Beyond the sheer horror of his killings and gruesome evidence found in his house, the public were stunned by the well-spoken seemingly intelligent man. On February 17, 1992, the court rejected his insanity plea and sentenced Dahmer to fifteen consecutive life sentences, a minimum of 936 years. May 16, 1992, a consecutive life sentence was added for a 1978 murder.

On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was murdered in a Portage, Wisconsin by another inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institute. Inmate Christopher Scarver, a double murderer, beat Dahmer and inmate Jesse Anderson to death with a broom while all three were cleaning a bathroom. Scarver said he was the "son of God" acting on his "father's" command to kill. Shortly before death, Dahmer was rebaptized into Christianity. His father would not grant permission for his brain to be studied on religious grounds.

Citizens complained that Dahmer escaped detection because police made investigating disappearances of homosexuals and racial minorities a low priority. The three cops who returned young Sinthasomphone to Dahmer were terminated from the Milwaukee Police Department. After they appealed their termination they were reinstated with back pay. They were honored as "officers of the year" by the police union for a "righteous" battle to reclaim their jobs.

In 1996, the city of Milwaukee raised more than $400,000 to buy Dahmer's tools, photographs, and refrigerator and incinerated it all. The apartment building was torn down.

I can't find much on this but I do think he may have gone to Utah for a short time. I'm going to keep looking until I find the details.

Scarver claimed that God told him to kill Dahmer and Jesse Anderson. Whether this is true or not may never be known. He received an additional two life sentences for the murder of Dahmer and Anderson, Scarver was already serving time for a double murder.

The lot where the Oxford Apartments used to be were eventually bought by developers. As part of the deal they have to reserve part of the property as 'green' or undeveloped. The other part will be made into parking spaces for nearby apartment buildings.

in his apartment no213

he killed his first victim at the home he lived in with his parents(he was living there alone at the time) in bath Ohio. the second victim was at the ambassador hotel in Milwaukee Wisconsin,the next 2 or3 were at his grandmothers house in west allis Wisconsin,and the rest were at his apartment at the oxford apartments 925 n 25thst apt 213 Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Dahmer was one of the worst serial killers in modern history. He drugged, killed, sodomized and cannabalized his victims. Some of them he used for horrible experiments in an attempt to turn them into zombies. His cruelty shocked the world and the press went nuts. Stories such as this sell newspapers.

At autopsy Dahmer's brain was photoed, x-rayed, catscanned and much more. It was then removed from the skull, sliced into sections and examined under microscope and almost every test possible was done with the tissue. Samples were taken and preserved as the rest of the brain in case further study is needed.

As with most criminals like Dahmer, it was noted that there were abnormalities to the frontal lobes of the brain. Scientists don't understand the significance of this yet but it is common for violent criminals to have these abnormalities.

As far as I know Dahmer didn't have a cellmate. At his own request, Dahmer was allowed out of the secured area for prisoners that may be attacked by other inmates. Shortly before his murder he was attacked by another inmate who almost slit Dahmer's throat. Even after that, Dahmer remained in the less-secured part of the prison.

On June 18, 1978 Dahmer picked up Steven Hicks hitchhiking. Hicks was invited back to Dahmer's house. When Hicks tried to leave Dahmer hit him with a dumbbell and killed him. Later Dahmer dismembered Hicks where two decades later pieces of Steven Hicks bones were found strewn about the Dahmer's former home in Bath, Ohio.

Dahmer, like most serial killers was into power. He needed to feel powerful and in control. What better way to feel powerful than to play God. For most serial killers the sex is secondary. Yes his crimes were sexual, but not about sex. It can be a confusing concept for most people. Dahmer said himself, he did not want his victims to leave. He hated being alone. But of course they had to leave, and most wanted to after he slapped on handcuffs or drugged them. But this should not be confused with motive. His MO (motis operandi) was to pick up young (most homosexual) men and boys and bring them back to his apartment, where he rendered them defenseless by one means or another, then they were raped repeatedly, and for the lucky ones he would kill them immediately. The unlucky ones were kept alive, sometimes for days, while Dahmer tortured them with his so-called 'experiments' such as drilling a hole to the brain and pouring acid right into the newly-bored hole.

Dahmer was killed by another inmate while in prison and most people believed that his death was much more humane than the deaths his victims suffered. This may be true, but the best we can do is to study his crimes and what is known about him, and try to learn how to prevent other Dahmers in the future.

Jeffrey Dahmer was not really worried about his fingerprints. The way he carried out his crimes, all evidence was kept inside his apartment which means he had almost total control over anything incriminating. There were really no body dumps, he cut up his victims and what he didn't keep or eat was dissolved in acid. Pretty slick. His biggest enemy must have been trying to contain the smell of decomposing flesh. From statements made from the police that were inside his apartment, they said the smell was overwhelming. How he got away with so much for so long defies logic.

Before he was arrested, Dahmer had police inside his apartment, and although they said the smell was awful, they did no further investigating. Hindsight is 20/20 and it proved to be true with Dahmer. It all fell into place when he was arrested and they started to carry out body parts. Then the smell made sense.
