Today we are going to talk and present to you a

well know serial killer whose birthday is coming


up, Jeffery Dahmer. Born on May 21(twenty-
first) 1960(nineteen sixty), Jeff came to the
world to be knowed as The Milwaukee
Cannibal or The Milwaukee Monster .He was
an American serial killer and sex offender who
killed and dismembered seventeen men and
boys between 1978 and 1991. Many of his later
murders involved necrophilia, which is sexual
pleasure with a dead body, cannibalism, which
is eating the flesh of the own species and the
permanent preservation of body parts, typically
all or part of the skeleton.

Sadly, he grew up being neglected his entire


childhood. His parents were so distracted with
the challenges of their relationship and their
own mental health, that they gave little
attention to Jeffrey and his disturbing
obsessions. Jeffery was described as an
energetic and happy child but became notably
subdued after double hernia surgery which is a
surgery to help with abdominal pain
shortly before his fourth birthday. At
elementary school, Dahmer was regarded as
quiet and timid; one teacher later detected
early signs of abandonment in Dahmer due to
his father's absence and mother's illnesses. In
elementary school, Dahmer did have a small
number of friends. From an early age, Dahmer
manifested an interest in dead animals. His
fascination with dead animals may have begun
when, at the age of four, he saw his father
removing animal bones from beneath the family
home. According to Lionel Jeffery’s dad,
Dahmer was "oddly thrilled" by the sound the
bones made, and became preoccupied with
animal bones, which he initially called his
"fiddlesticks". He occasionally searched beneath
and around the family home for additional
bones, and explored the bodies of live animals
to discover where their bones were located.
From his freshman year at Revere High
School (RHS), Dahmer was seen as an outcast.
By 14 of age, he had begun drinking beer and
hard alcohol in daylight hours, frequently
concealing his liquor inside the jacket he wore
to school. Dahmer mentioned to one classmate
who inquired why he was drinking Scotch,
which is a whiskey, made from Scotland in a
morning history class that the alcohol he
consumed was "my medicine». Although largely
uncommunicative, in his freshman year Dahmer
was seen by staff as polite and highly intelligent
but with average grades. He was a competitive
tennis player and played briefly in the high
school band. When he reached puberty,
Dahmer discovered he was gay; he did not tell
his parents. In his early teens, he had a brief
relationship with another teenage boy,
although they never had intercourse. By
Dahmer's later admission, he
began fantasizing about dominating and
controlling a completely submissive male
partner in his early to mid-teens, and his
masturbatory fantasies gradually evolved to his
focusing on chests and torsos. These fantasies
gradually became intertwined with dissection,
which is dismembering of the the body of a
deceased animal or plant. When he was about
16, Dahmer conceived a fantasy of rendering
unconscious a particular male jogger he found
attractive, and then making sexual use of his
body. On one occasion, Dahmer hided himself
in bushes with a baseball bat to lie in wait for
this man. However, the jogger did not pass by
on that particular day. Dahmer later admitted
this was his first attempt to attack and render
an individual submissive to him.[ Among his
drinking problems at RHS, Dahmer became
something of a class clown who often staged
pranks, which became known as "Doing a
Dahmer"; these included bleating and
simulating epileptic seizures or cerebral palsy at
school and local stores. On occasion, Dahmer
would perform these antics for money to
purchase more alcohol. Later on, Dahmer
committed his first murder in 1978, three weeks
after his graduation. On June 18, Dahmer picked
up a hitchhiker named Steven Mark Hicks, who
was almost 19. Dahmer lured the boy to his
house on the pretext of drinking. Hicks, who
had been hitchhiking to a rock concert
at Chippewa Lake Park, Ohio, agreed to
accompany Dahmer to his house upon the
promise of "a few beers" with Dahmer as he
had the house to himself.
The following day, Dahmer dissected Hicks'
body in his basement. He later buried the
remains in a shallow grave in his back yard.
Several weeks later, he unearthed the remains
and pared which is knifing the flesh from the
bones. He dissolved the flesh in acid before
flushing the solution down the toilet. He
crushed the bones with a sledgehammer and
scattered them in the woodland behind the
family home. In January 1985, Dahmer was
hired as a mixer at the Milwaukee Ambrosia
Chocolate Factory, where he worked from
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. six nights per week, with
Saturday evenings off. Shortly after he found
this job, an incident occurred in which Dahmer
was propositioned by another man while
reading in the West Allis Public Library. The
stranger threw Dahmer a note offering to
perform fellatio which is a blow job upon him.
Although Dahmer did not respond to this
proposition, the incident stirred in his mind the
fantasies of control and dominance he had
developed as a teenager, and he began to
familiarize himself with Milwaukee's gay
bars, gay bathhouses, and bookstores. He also
stole a male mannequin from a store, which he
briefly used for sexual stimulation, until his
grandmother discovered the item stowed in a
closet and demanded that he discard it. In a
spawn of 13 years he killed 17 men named :
James Edward Doxtator,  Anthony Lee Sears,
Raymond Lamont Smith, Edward Warren Smith,
Ernest Marquez Miller, David Courtney Thomas,
Curtis Durrell Straughter, Errol Lindsey, Tony
Anthony Hughes, Konerak Sinthasomphone,
Matt Cleveland Turner, Jeremiah Benjamin
Weinberger, Oliver Joseph, Joseph Arthur
Bradehoft and Richard Guerrero . The only one
who made it alive was Tracy Edwards who
opened the locked door in handcuffs and ran
for his life out of the apartment to see police
officers. Jeffery then went to court and wanted
the death penalty but was sentenced 16
consecutive life sentences, which is 957 years
behind bars. In jail he got baptized to be closer
with god but that didn’t make one of his
cellmates happy. On the morning of November
28, 1994, Dahmer left his cell to conduct his
assigned work detail. Accompanying him were
two fellow inmates, Jesse
Anderson and Christopher Scarver. The trio
were left unsupervised in the showers of the
prison gym for approximately 20 minutes. At
approximately 8:10 a.m. Dahmer was
discovered on the floor of the bathrooms of the
gym suffering from extreme head wounds; he
had been severely bludgeoned about the head
and face with a 20-inch (51-centimeter) metal
bar. His head had also been repeatedly struck
against the wall in the assault. Before getting
beaten to death by Christopher Scaver, his last
words before being beaten were [I promise I
will pray each day to ask for their forgiveness
when the hurt goes away, if ever. I have seen
their tears, and if I could give my life right now
to bring their loved ones back, I would do it, I
am so very sorry]. Although Dahmer was still
alive and was rushed to a nearby hospital, he
was pronounced dead one hour later.
