Jeffrey Dahmer

"The Milwaukee Monster"

Books

  

Differently from most Serial Killers, Jeffrey Dahmer was the product of a stable, normal home. Since childhood he showed tendencies to cruelty and sadism. He enjoyed playing with roadkills, dissecting animals or nailing them to trees. While young he started developing sexual deviancies: "At about eleven o'clock at night, when everyone was gone and the store was locked up from the outside, I went out and undressed the mannequin and I had a big sleeping bag cover. I put it in that, zipped it up and carried it out of the store, which was a pretty dangerous thing to do. I never thought of them maybe having security cameras or being locked in the store, but I walked out with it and took it back home. I ended up getting a taxi and brought it back and kept it with me a couple of weeks. I just went through various sexual fantasies with it, pretending it was a real person, pretending that I was having sex with it, masturbating, and undressing it."Jeffrey Dahmer. When he was 18 he picked up a young hitchhiker in the streets which he brought to his home where he killed and buried him after cutting his corpse in pieces. "I don't know why it started. I don't have any definite answers on that myself. If I knew the true, real reasons why all this started, before it ever did , I wouldn't probably have done any of it."Jeffrey Dahmer. While living in Milwaukee he started frequenting gay bars where he picked young males (most of them African American) and bring them to his apartment. There he would drug and kill them. Afterwards he would rape the corpse in the most abominable ways. Sometimes he would cut open the body and masturbate with the viscera. Trying to create the perfect mate he drilled holes into the skulls of some of his victims while still alive and inject them with muriatric acid with the purpose of turning them into "Sex Slave Zombies". After dismembering the bodies he would stock most the pieces in the fridge where he only kept body parts and spices. Some other he would place on acid to wash away the flesh and bleach the bones afterwards to keep them as souvenirs. "I separated the joints, the arm joints, the leg joints, and had to do two boilings. I think I used four boxes of Soilex for each one, put in the upper portion of the body and boiled that for about two hours and then the lower portion for another two hours. The Soilex removes all the flesh, turns it into a jelly like-like substance and it just rinses off. Then I laid the clean bones in a light bleach solution, left them there for a day and spread them out on either newspaper or cloth and let them dry for about a week in the bedroom (Dahmer talking about ERNEST MILLER, one of his victims )". "I took the knife and the scalp part off and peeled the flesh off the bone and kept the skull and the scalp� If I could have kept him longer, all of him, I would have"(Dahmer talking about Anthony Sears, one of his victims). As time passed his hunger for victims grew stronger and stronger "I was completely swept along with my own compulsion. I don't know how else to put it. It didn't satisfy me completely so maybe I was thinking another one will. Maybe this one will, and the numbers started growing and growing and just got out of control, as you can see. " and he started committing mistakes; one of his victims managed to escape on May 27 1991. Running naked in the streets and with Dahmer following him he was found by two cops which Dahmer managed to convince them that he was his gay lover who was fleeing after a domestic dispute. The cops let Dahmer take the man back to his apartment where he would kill him and rape his corpse. "If I'd been thinking rationally I would have stopped. I wasn't thinking rationally because it just increased and increased. It was almost like I wanted to get to a point where it was out of my control and there was no return. I mean, I was very careful for years and years, you know. Very careful, very careful about making sure that nothing incriminating remained, but these last few months, they just went nuts� It just seemed like it went into a frenzy this last month. Everything really came crashing down. The whole thing started falling down around my head� That was the last week I was going to be in that apartment building. I was going to have to move out and find somewhere to put all my possessions. Should I get a chest and put what I wanted to keep in that, and get rid of the rest? Or should I put an end to this, try to stop this and find a better direction for my life? That's what was going through my mind that last week." The second time a victim managed to escape Dahmer was not so lucky. The guy brought back the cops with him where they found three dissolving bodies in 55-gallon acid vats in his bedroom. They also found four severed heads, seven skulls, skeletons in his closet a penis in a lobster pot and his fridge was filled with heads, intestines, livers kidneys, lungs and a heart. Dahmer was sentenced to 15 consecutive life sentences but found death in 1994 at the hand of a fellow inmate called Christopher Scarver. Dahmer's brain has been preserved for future study. The number of victims was around 17. "Something stronger than my conscious will made it happen. I think some higher power got good and fed-up with my activity and decided to put an end to it. I don't really think there were any coincidences. The way it ended and whether the close calls were warning to me or what, I don't know. If they were, I sure didn't heed them� If I hadn't been caught or lost my job, I'd still be doing it, I'm quite sure of that. I went on doing it and doing it and doing it, in spite of my anxiety and the lack of lasting satisfaction� How arrogant and stupid of me to think that I could do something like this and just go about my life normally as if nothing ever happened. They say you reap what you sow, well, it's true, you do, eventually � I've always wondered, from the time that I committed that first horrid mistake, sin, with Hicks, whether this was sort of predestined and there was no way I could have changed it. I wonder just how much predestination controls a person's life and just how much control they have over themselves."
