[edit]
Early life
Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Christian fundamentalist parents. At age eight, his family moved to Bath, Ohio, near Akron. From his earliest youth he was extremely shy. He did not commit acts of animal cruelty but reportedly dissected already dead animals. He struggled with substance abuse and suffered from extremely low self-esteem. His parents underwent a divorce when Jeffrey was 18 (1978). In fact, Dahmer committed his first murder at the age of 18, killing Steven Hicks. Dahmer had invited Hicks over to his house after picking up the 19 year-old hitchhiker, and after drinks, he killed him because he "didn't want him to leave".


Dahmer's grandmother's house in West Allis, Wisconsin. It was in this house that Dahmer committed three of his murdersDahmer attended Ohio State University, but dropped out after one term. Dahmer's father then made him sign up with the Army. He signed up for a six-year stint in the Army, he was released after only two years because of his excessive drinking. In 1982, he moved in with his grandmother in West Allis, Wisconsin where he would live for six years.

There were many signs of Dahmer's increasingly unhinged frame of mind, however. The August that he moved in with his grandmother, 1982, he was arrested for exposing himself at a state fair. Four years later, he was charged again with public exposure after two boys accused him of masturbating in public. This time he was sentenced to a year in prison, of which he served 10 months.

In 1988 he was arrested for sexually fondling a 13-year-old boy, for which he served one year in a work release camp and was required to register as a sex offender. He convinced the judge that he only needed psychological help, and he was released with a 5 year probation on good behavior. Shortly thereafter, he began the string of murders that would end with his arrest in 1991.

[edit]
Later Murders
Most of his victims were gay black men. He achieved notoriety after his arrest following the discovery of several decaying bodies in acid vats in his apartment. Severed heads were found in his refrigerator and plans for an altar of candles and human skulls were found in his closet. Accusations soon surfaced that Dahmer had practiced necrophilia and cannibalism. Dahmer admitted to eating the biceps of his eighth victim, Ernest Miller, whose skeleton he also kept, noting that human flesh "tasted like beef" to him.

You can comment on the removal.Many people were outraged to learn that Milwaukee police returned Laotian teenager Konerak Sinthasomphone, 14, to Dahmer after he (Dahmer) convinced police that Sinthasomphone was his 19 year-old lover. This happened shortly after Konerak had escaped from Dahmer during the early morning hours of May 27, 1991. He was discovered on the street bleeding from the anus and with a hole drilled in the back of his head wandering around nude[1]. Dahmer claimed they had an argument. After being returned against his will by the Police, later that night Dahmer dismembered Sinthasomphone and would keep his skull as a souvenir. Konerak Sinthasomphone was the younger brother of the boy Dahmer was convicted of molesting in 1988.

John Balcerzak (Elected president of the Milwaukee Police Association union in May 2005) and Joseph Gabrish, the two police officers who returned Sinthasomphone to Dahmer, were terminated from the Milwaukee Police Department after their actions were widely publicized. The two officers appealed this termination and were reinstated with back pay. They were named officers of the year by the police union for fighting a "righteous" battle to regain their jobs.

By summer 1991, Dahmer was murdering around one person every week. Matt Turner was killed on June 30th, Jeremiah Weinberger on July 5th, Oliver Lacy on July 12th, and finally Joseph Brandehoft on July 19th, just three days before Dahmer was finally arrested.

Capture and death

On November 28th, 1994, Dahmer (who himself had murdered 10 african american males) and another inmate were brutally beaten and killed by fellow african american inmate Christopher Scarver. After Dahmer's death and subsequent legal proceedings regarding the study of his brain were over, his remains were cremated and divided in half, between his birth mother Joyce and his father Lionel, who had remarried a woman named Shari.

Aftermath
After the murders, the Oxford Apartments were razed and the site is now a vacant lot. At the time the apartments were demolished there were plans to turn the site into a memorial garden, but no garden exists on the site today. The site is mostly overgrown with grass and a tall chain link fence surrounding the perimeter of the property and is generally considered to be in a poor neighborhood of Milwaukee.

The families are continuing to struggle with their grief, but after Lionel Dahmer published his book A Father's Story, the majority of the family members reached out to him and his wife Shari. He donated a portion of the proceeds from his book to the victims and their families, but used the rest to pay legal fees by the person who sued him for being an irresponsible father. He has retired from his career as an analytical chemist and resides with his wife today in Medina, Ohio. He consults on the evolution versus creationism topic occasionally, and his wife is a member of the board of the Medina County Ohio Horseman's Council. Both of them continue to carry the name Dahmer and still love their son despite his crimes. Lionel Dahmer's first wife, Joyce, died of cancer some years after the trial.

Pop culture connections
The movie Jeffrey Dahmer: The Secret Life was released in 1993, starring Carl Crew as Dahmer. In 2002, the biopic Dahmer, starring Jeremy Renner in the title role, premiered in Dahmer's hometown. The film, which portrayed Dahmer in a human (if not sympathetic) light, met with protest from the victims' families, and quickly went to video. In a 2004 article in 3DShroom Magazine, Dahmer was described as the "most pitied serial killer in American history." The article described Dahmer's life as pathetic in comparison to less repentant killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.

Dahmer was one of the serial killers emulated by the villain in the movie Copycat. Like Dahmer, the villain went to gay bars and drugged his victims' drinks. He also cut off one victim's head with a surgical saw. The Canadian grindcore band Dahmer is named after Jeffrey Dahmer. The Cleveland power-violence band Apartment 213 is named after Dahmer's address.

American heavy metal band Macabre have written a concept album about Jeffrey Dahmer titled Dahmer. The songs "Arc Arsenal" by At the Drive-In and "213" by Slayer are also believed to be about Jeffrey Dahmer. As is the song "Dahmer is Dead" by the Violent Femmes. There is a track on Venetian Snares' album Meathole titled Sinthasomphone. The Irish rock band Therapy?'s song "Trigger Inside" features the lyric, "I know how Jeffrey Dahmer feels, lonely, lonely". Cradle Of Filth makes a reference to Dahmer in their song "Lord Abortion", when describing the technique and mindset of the necrophiliac the song is written about.

Deathrock band Christian Death has written a song titled "Still Born/Still Life" and dedicated it to Dahmer.

Punk legend Tesco Vee sold aprons with an photoshopped image of Dahmer as Chef Boyardee with the tagline 'Chef Jeff'.

In the movie the Ringer, they refer to his name when Johnny Knoxville is playing a man named Steve, and he enters the Special Olympics. He uses the name Jeffy, and when he needs a last name his friend says his last name is Dahmor; it is pronounced the same but with an "O." So his name would be Jeffy Dahmor. In the movie Demolition Man, when Simon Phoenix is going over the list of cryocons, he comes across Jeffrey Dahmer's name and decides to release him ("Jeffrey Dahmer? I LOVE that guy!"). This scene is frequently deleted in modern broadcasts of the film due to Dahmer's subsequent murder in prison in 1994, thus making the scene anachronistic.

Bloody Tea vs. Human Raise has a song about Jeffrey Dahmer Called "Jeffrey Dahmer's CookBook"

In the show In Living Color, Snuff and Roam ( Shawn and Marlon Wayans) say they will go Jeffery Dahmer on an inmate, which they say means they'll "cut his big *** up, put him in a freezer, and kick his *** later."
