On This Day…

Jeffrey Dahmer…..

May 17, 1991……

Milwaukee police officers find a 14-year-old drugged, naked, and bleeding. They return him to Jeffrey Dahmer‘s apartment who then killed him moments later. Dahmer had lured the 14-year-old Laotian boy into his apartment by offering to pay him to pose for nude photos. While there, Dahmer drugged him and then drilled a hole in his skull and injected hydrochloric acid into the frontal lobe. He was trying to created a “zombie-like” victim that he could abuse over the course of several days. After the boy went unconscious, Dahmer left to get more alcohol. When he returned he found the boy had regained consciousness and was sitting naked and bleeding down the street. Two girls who saw him had called police. When the police arrived, Dahmer told them the boy was his 19-year-old lover and they had just had a quarrel and the boy was drunk. The officers then dragged the protesting boy back into Dahmer’s apartment. There Dahmer showed them nude Polaroids of the boy to persuade them they were indeed lovers. They officers also smelled a foul odor. This was later learned to be the rotting corpse of a former victim which had been on Dahmer’s bedroom floor the past three days. One of the officers had peeked in the bedroom, but didn’t see the body. After the officers left, Dahmer killed the boy and dismembered him and the previous victim. Dahmer had served time in prison for molesting the boy’s older brother in 1988. The boy did not know Dahmer had been released from prison early and didn’t recognize who he was.
Dahmer would kill four more people before being caught two months later. He confessed to having murdered 16 young men in Wisconsin since 1987, and another victim killed in Ohio in 1978.
In 1994, Dahmer was beaten to death in prison.
