ANALYSIS

The detailed scene investigation and autopsy examination allowed for evaluation of
Dahmer's motives, methods, and mental state over the months leading to his
capture. In this unique situation, Dahmer freely discussed his role in the murders
with law enforcement and provided a valuable resource for collaboration of scene,
anthropological, and autopsy findings to forensic pathologists, forensic psychiatrists,
and law enforcement personal during the investigation. Scene investigation and
autopsy analysis of the bodies provided prosecutors with detailed evidence of the
motives and psychological state of Dahmer during the course of a death spree that
lasted nine months. A forensic psychiatrist constructed Dahmer's psychological
profile characterized by a destructive behavior in which his collection of fetishistic
memorabilia provided an expression of his deep ambivalence and mixed hostility
towards his victims. Frustrated with his sexual immaturity and continual rejection,
Dahmer channeled his hostility into a sadistic sexual behavior characteristic of the
psychopathology of a serial killer. Dahmer was a controlled, organized serial killer
who manifested all of the phases of a serial killer. He selected his victims by trolling
local bars. He posed his victims before, during, and after death. He retained
souvenirs of his victim's body parts and photographs. The accelerated rate of the
killings, accumulation of bodies, and need for additional storage containers
demonstrated that Dahmer was becoming increasingly disorganized psychologically
and in his methods of killing and disposal
CONCLUSION

Dahmer’s mental illness, dysfunctional family, and lonesome have shaped his
human personality. On the other hand, drinking addiction has caused damage to his
mental death. Due to his sexual preferences, he was often neglected in society.
Although nothing can justify his brutal crimes. Perhaps, if he would have been sent
to mental health treatment at his earlier age, he could not become a serial killer. I
think what jeffrey dahmer has done was a reflection of how he was treated and that
his actions were influenced by the environment he grew up in. In the series and
documentary of jeffrey dahmer’s life, his school and social life were shown together
with how he felt. However, him becoming a notorious serial killer cannot be
condoned just because of his past. Growing up, dahmer went from an outgoing
social child to an isolated and neglected child that led to his upbringing. Dahmer’s
parents were both occupied and so he was left to fend for himself which then
contributed to his pent-up feelings throughout his life. I believe that dahmer being
neglected plays a significant role in his decisions to commit such crimes.

For those who wish to understand why a serial killer kill, research will generally lead
them to stories of childhood abuse or neglect as a precursor to violent and/or anti-
social tendencies. Many serial killers are exposed to some form of neglect, physical,
sexual, and/or emotional abuse as a child; however, Jeffrey Dahmer only
experienced neglect and emotional abuse as a child making his case rather unique.
Jeffrey Dahmer began to display anti-social behavior as a result of regular and long-
term neglect as a child. It is believed that this neglect is what led Jeffrey Dahmer to
devalue life and develop anti-social traits which would later develop into full fledge
psychopathic tendencies as he got older.

In addition to the overwhelming chaos disaster investigators routinely confront, in the

Jeffrey Dahmer case, they also encountered a complex crime scene. A unique factor
in the investigation was Dahmer's willingness to cooperate with law enforcement
investigators in answering questions related to the manner and methods of killing,
disposal of the bodies, and artifacts noted at the scene and autopsy. The
multidisciplinary investigation that followed provided investigators with a number of
conclusions that permitted the successful prosecution and conviction of Jeffrey
Dahmer. Dahmer drugged, strangled, and dismembered his victims following his use
of “chemical” restraints. Forensic autopsies demonstrated the organized methods of
death, experimental lobotomies, postmortem dissection, and disposition.
Anthropological analysis suggested Dahmer was psychologically attracted to a
certain anthropometric body type. He experimented with a method of injecting
caustic material in the brains of his victims to sedate and pacify them into helpless
“zombies.” Materials recovered from the science confirmed the methods of an
“organized” serial killer with souvenir taking to enhance sexual pleasure. An
examination of the chronology of death revealed a pattern of increasing frequency of
the murders and the impression that Dahmer was becoming increasingly
disorganized and out of control (7). Limited mass casualty incidents generally do not
require the use of state and federal disaster resources and can be handled at a local
level. The identities of the victims are usually known and quickly confirmed.
However, even the most limited incident carries with it a search for the causes and
punishment of those responsible. In some cases, comingling of the remains of
victims and those responsible may add to the anguish of the families. In any
operation, investigators encounter numerous obstacles in processing a disaster.
Concerns and demands of families, allegations of mismanagement, intense and
urgent media requests, and an unrealistic expectation add to the stress of managing
the disaster. In the Dahmer case, allegations of police indifference and threatened
lawsuits only added to the political and social pressure on the investigation. In many
disasters, including those with a limited number of victims, investigators face
challenges in resources, personnel, expertise, and patience. No matter the size or
extent of a disaster, the forensic pathologist must anticipate that the death
investigation may have criminal and civil implications requiring detailed death
investigation. Cooperation among investigating agencies is a must for proper and
rapid identification, determination of cause and manner of death, disposition of the
remains to the family, and to manage an appropriate media response
INTRODUCTION

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee
Monster, was an American serial killer and sex offender who killed and dismembered
seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991(” Jeffrey Dahmer’s Inferno”.
Vanity Fair;1991). Archived from the original on March 29, 2022. Retrieved April 28,
2022). Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the
permanent preservation of body parts—typically all or part of the skeleton. (Masters
1993, p. 136.)

In this study, we will going learn the beginning, factors, major details on Jeffrey
Dahmer become a serial killer or the Milwaukee monster. The early life of Jeffrey
Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer was born in 1960 in West Allis Wisconsin (Masters 1993, p.
26). The first of two sons of Joyce Annette and Lionel Dahmer. His mother Joyce
suffered from depression and once attempted to suicide (Masters 1993, p. 32) while
his father is a chemist. Jeffrey’s childhood is not normal to begin with from his
interest, behavior and hobbies. From an early age, Jeffrey 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 (his father), Jeffrey 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. (Masters, 1993) In May 1968, the family moved to Bath
Township, Summit County, Ohio. (O’Connor, William, 1991) where Jeffrey began
collecting large insects such as dragonflies and moths and the skeletons of small
animals such as chipmunks and squirrels. Some of these remains were preserved in
jars of formaldehyde and stowed within the hut. (Masters, 1993) Two years later,
during a chicken dinner, Jeffrey asked Lionel what would happen if the chicken
bones were placed in bleach. Lionel, pleased by what he believed to be his son’s
scientific curiosity, demonstrated how to safely bleach and preserve animal bones.
Jeffrey incorporated these preserving techniques into his bone collecting, and also
began collecting dead animals. The same year Lionel taught his son how to preserve
animal bones, Joyce, his depressed mother began increasing her daily consumption
of Equanil, laxatives, and sleeping pills, further minimizing her tangible contact with
her husband and children (Masters 1993, p. 39).

By the age of 14, he had begun drinking beer and hard alcohol in daylight hours, he
even drinks frequently in school as he concealed it to her (“Jeffrey Dahmer
Biography: The Cannibal Killer”. Biographics.org, 2018). When he reached puberty,
Jeffrey 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 Jeffrey’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 (Masters 1993, pp. 43-52). When he
was about 16, Jeffrey conceived a fantasy of rendering unconscious a particular
male jogger he found attractive, and then making sexual use of his body. On one
occasion Jeffrey concealed himself in bushes with a baseball bat to lie in wait for this
man; however, he did not pass by on that particular day. Jeffrey later admitted this
was his first attempt to attack and render an individual submissive to him (Masters,
1993).

Jeffrey’s family is problematic and later on becomes broken. The Dahmer’s grades
had declined. His parents hired a private tutor, with limited success. The same year,
in an attempt to save their marriage, his parents attended counseling sessions. They
continued to quarrel frequently. When Lionel discovered Joyce had engaged in a
brief affair in September 1977, they both decided to divorce, telling their sons they
wished to do so amicably. Lionel moved out of the house in early 1978, temporarily
residing in a motel (Taylor, Mary B.W,1991).

In May 1978, Dahmer graduated from high school. That spring, Joyce and David
(Jeffrey’s younger brother) moved out of the family home to live with relatives in
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin (Norris 1992, p. 100). Jeffrey had just turned 18 and
remained in the family home. Dahmer’s parents’ divorce was finalized on July 24,
1978. Joyce was awarded custody of her younger son David (younger brother of
Jeffrey) and alimony payments. We can assume form this that his childhood is
definitely messed up and problematic. The hobbies, behaviors and environment of
Jeffrey during childhood is a major factor on his psychological development and
future actions.

The beginning of Jeffrey’s murder. Jeffrey committed his first murder in 1978, three
weeks after his graduation. On June 18, Jeffrey picked up a hitchhiker named
Steven Mark Hicks, who was almost 19. Jeffrey lured the youth 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 Jeffrey to his house upon the promise of “a
few beers” with Jeffrey as he had the house to himself (Dvorchak & Holewa 1992).

According to Jeffrey, the sight of the bare-chested Hicks standing at the roadside
stirred his sexual feelings, although when Hicks began talking about girls, he knew
any sexual passes he made would be rebuffed. After several hours of talking,
drinking and listening to music, Hicks “wanted to leave and I didn’t want him to
leave.” Jeffrey bludgeoned Hicks with a 10-pound (4.5 kg) dumbbell. He later stated
he struck Hicks twice from behind with the dumbbell as Hicks sat upon a chair. When
Hicks fell unconscious, Jeffrey strangled him to death with the bar of the dumbbell,
then stripped the clothes from Hicks’ body before exploring his chest with his hands,
then masturbating as he stood above the corpse. Hours later, Jeffrey dragged the
body to the basement (FBI, 1992). The following day, Jeffrey 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 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 (Dvorchak & Holewa, 1992).

Six weeks after the murder of Hicks, Jeffrey father and his fiancée returned to his
home, where they discovered Jeffrey living alone at the house. That August, Dahmer
enrolled at Ohio State University (OSU), hoping to major in business (Dvorchak &
Holewa, 1992). Jeffrey’s sole term at college was completely unproductive, largely
because of his persistent alcohol abuse throughout the majority of the term (The
Akron Beacon Journal, 1991). Most of his subject failed and dropped after three
months despite of his father having paid advanced for second term (Norris, 1992).
Jeffrey enlisted in the army after he dropped out of school due to his father’s wish
and learned basic training. Due to his being an alcoholic and his unsuitable behavior
in the military, he got discharged after 2 years of service (Dahmer, 1994).

After his discharge, Jeffrey went back to Ohio to live with his father and stepmother,
but due to his alcohol abuse and disorderly conduct, his father sent him to his
grandmother. They hoped that her grandmother’s influence and the change of
location might persuade Dahmer to quit drinking, find a job, and live responsibly
(Dahmer, 1994).

He does behave normally in the beginning, even attending church with his
grandmother; unfortunately, after a while, he’s still drinking, developing his fantasies,
and getting himself to gay bars, bathhouses, and bookstores. He even stole a male
mannequin for his pleasure and fantasy (Dahmer, 1994). His grandmother found his
doing and demanded to discard the mannequin. Later in he didn’t stop his newly
found pleasure and began frequently in gay bars, bathhouse and bookstores
(Masters, 1993). He described this place as “relaxing places” but during his sexual
encounters, he became frustrated at his partners’ moving during the act.
Jeffrey stated that “I trained myself to view people as objects of pleasure instead of
[as] people”. This is when Jeffrey began using sedative and liquors to immobilized
his partner to do various sexual acts ( “Jeffrey Dahmer’s Inferno”. Vanity Fair, 1991).
To maintain an adequate supply of this medication (sleeping pills), Dahmer informed
doctors he worked nights and required the tablets to adjust to that schedule
(Masters, 1993). We can assume how cunning Jeffrey is and plus the fact
that he undergone military training , another factors that contribute to his abilities.

In September 1987 he killed his second victim, Steven Tuomi. They were staying in
a hotel together and Jeffrey made him unconscious by using drugs. Later, he
dismembered his body after masturbating on the corpse at his grandmother’s
basement. Surprisingly in this case, Jeffrey said that he killed it unconsciously and
he didn’t remember what happened (Bardsley, Marilyn,2011). According to Jeffrey,
although Tuomi’s killing was unplanned, his death was a pivotal incident following
which he “didn’t even try” to control his compulsions. He began to actively seek
victims, most of whom he encountered in or close to gay bars, and whom he typically
lured to his grandmother’s home. He would drug his victim with triazolam or
temazepam before or shortly after engaging in sexual activity with them. Once he
had rendered his victim unconscious with sleeping pills, he killed them by
strangulation (Worthington, Rogers, 1992). Two months after the Tuomi killing,
Jeffrey encountered a 14-year-old Native American male prostitute named James
Doxtator and killed and dismembered with the same manner as Toumi (Norris,
1992). On March 24, 1988, Dahmer met a 22-year-old bisexual man named Richard
Guerrero. He again lured him to his grandmother house, drug and struggled him to
death. Then Jeffrey performed oral sex with the corpse (Masters, 1993).

On April 23, Jeffrey lured Ronald Flowers Jr. to his house. After Jeffrey drug Flowers
he got interrupted by his grandmother and failed to kill flowers. He was one of the
few men survived from Jeffrey Dahmer. In September 1988, Jeffrey’s grandmother
asked him to move out, largely because of his drinking, his habit of bringing young
men to her house late at night and the foul smells occasionally emanating from both
the basement and the garage. Jeffrey found a one-bedroom apartment at 808 North
24th Street and moved into his new residence on September 25. Two days later, he
was arrested for drugging and sexually fondling a 13-year-old boy. Jeffrey underwent
a series of psychological evaluations prior to his upcoming court hearings. These
evaluations revealed Dahmer harbored deep feelings of alienation. A second
evaluation two months later revealed Dahmer to be an impulsive individual,
suspicious of others, and dismayed by his lack of accomplishments in life. His
probation officer also referenced a 1987 diagnosis of Dahmer suffering from a
schizoid personality disorder for presentation to the court (Masters, 1993). He
pleaded guilty and was convicted with second-degree sexual assault. He argued
before the court in his own defense at his trial. He was given five years probationary
sentence and judges ordered that he needed treatment. He was permitted to work
during the day.

After being involved in sexual assaults, arrested and served in prisons. Jeffrey didn’t
stop his terror. Appropriately Jeffrey Dahmer killed seventeen young men between
1978 and 1991. Twelve were killed in his North 25th Street apartment. Three victims
were murdered and dismembered at his grandmother’s West Allis residence. His first
and second victims were murdered at his parents’ home in Ohio and at the
Ambassador Hotel in Milwaukee, respectively. Jeffrey Dahmer brutally murdered his
victims by strangling them. After killing them he raped the corpses. He used to lure
men from gay bars, clubs, shopping malls, etc. He mostly targeted African-American
young men. He used to drug young men in order to have sex with their unconscious
bodies. He had brutally dissected and dismembered his victims’ bodies. He was a
cannibal and he collected the skulls and bones of his victims. He even kept some
organs or parts of victims’ bodies as a souvenir. When police raided his apartment,
they got a refrigerator full of human organs, limbs, and parts. The degree of brutality
he showed through his crime commission knows no bound. He even gave some of
his victims’ lobotomies.

His reign of terror finally ended when Tracy Edward, his last victim, escaped alive in
1991.Edwards flagged down two Milwaukee police officers, Robert Rauth and Rolf
Mueller, at the corner of North 25th Street. The officers noted Edwards had a
handcuff attached to his wrist, the officers noted Edwards had a handcuff attached to
his wrist, whereupon he explained to the officers that a “freak” had placed the
handcuffs upon him and asked if the police could remove them. When the officers’
handcuff keys failed to fit the brand of handcuffs, Edwards agreed to accompany the
officers to the apartment where, Edwards stated, he had spent the previous five
hours before escaping (Masters, 1993). When the officers and Edwards arrived at
Apartment 213, Dahmer invited the trio inside and acknowledged he had placed the
handcuffs upon Edwards. Officers searched the area to find the key of the hand cuff.
Officer Mueller found it in the drawer and also discovered the Polaroid pictures of
dismembered men. Mueller walked into the living room to show them to his partner,
uttering the words, “These are for real.”(Masters, 1993). When Dahmer saw that
Mueller was holding several of his Polaroids, he fought with the officers in an effort to
resist arrest. The officers quickly overpowered him, cuffed his hands behind his
back, and called a second squad car for backup. At this point, Mueller opened the
refrigerator to reveal the freshly severed head of a black male on the bottom shelf.
As Dahmer lay pinned on the floor beneath Rauth, he turned his head towards the
officers and muttered the words: "For what I did I should be dead." (Masters, 1993).
After that, everything was revealed: the evidences and dismembered body part of
men. That’s how Jeffrey Dahmer finally arrested and ended his terror.

Jeffrey Dahmer admitted to having murdered sixteen young men in Wisconsin since
1987, with one further victim—Steven Hicks—killed in Ohio in 1978 (“The Dahmer
Chronicles: A Prom, a Séance, and a Victim”. The Akron Beacon Journal. 1991)
Although he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal
personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder, Dahmer was found to be legally sane
at his trial (Tisdale, Jennifer, 2022). He was convicted of fifteen of the sixteen
homicides he had committed in Wisconsin and was sentenced to fifteen terms of life
imprisonment on February 17, 1992. (Ellens, J. Harold (2011). Dahmer was later
sentenced to a sixteenth term of life imprisonment for an additional homicide
committed in Ohio in 1978. On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was beaten to death by
Christopher Scarver, a fellow inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution in
Portage, Wisconsin.

According to the researchers that investigated him, he was a cruel sociopath. His
anti-personality condition was identified. He started drinking heavily at a young age.
He was a pathological loner and a necrophile. Control and dominance over his
victims were his compulsive obsessions. He’s always desired a submissive
organization. He used to get sexually stimulated by torturing and killing his victims.
