JEFFRY DAHMER
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer grew up in Bath, Ohio, which is near Akron. His parents were termed as "middle class". As a boy he was intelligent, but did not live up to his potential. Instead, he would disrupt class in a clownish way rather than pay attention to his school work.

When he was 16, he had already become an alcoholic and showing signs of what his future would hold. He had an intense interest in chemistry and in torturing and dismembering animals. When Dahmer was 18 years old, he committed his first murder. He picked up a hitchhiker and killed him rather spontaneously in June of 1979. Relevant or not, the year before his parents divorced.

For the next 9 years, his fantasies built up, until in 1981, fantasies became reality. Like other serial killers, Dahmer's victims grew in number as he got more "comfortable" with killing (1 in '87, 2 in '88, 1 in '89, 4 in '90, and 8 in '91) until he was caught. In fact, the last few killings were only days apart. Dahmer was a cannibal - consumed human flesh and blood. He kept body parts (including skeletons and skulls). He preferred sexual acts with dead and dismembered bodies. Some people do not consider Dahmer a cannibal because he only "tasted" flesh a time or two. This should be your own decision.

Jeffrey Dahmer's fall began on July 22, 1991, when officers found in Dahmer's apartment a butcher knife and some Polaroid's of men in homosexual activity. Some of the pictures were also of dead men. In many of the pictures, the corpses had been dismembered and mutilated in other ways. As Officer Mueller looked around the room, he realized the pictures had taken place in that very room.

As the officers continued to search the place, they found horror everywhere. A human head in the refrigerator, hands in a cooking pot, 3 heads in a freezer, and a total of 5 skulls in a box and filing cabinet.

As if that weren't enough, there was a drum, the size of those used for industrial purposes, which was filled with chemicals and the remains of 3 bodies. There were tools - in particular, a chain saw, which is apparently what Dahmer dismembered his victims with. There were also chemicals such as chloroform and formaldehyde. When no food and only condiments were found in the apartment, officers began wondering: is he also a cannibal? It was later revealed that he also drank the blood.
