Jeffrey Dahmer
Childhood
Dahmer's mother worked as a teletype
machine-instructor and his father was a
student at Marquette University, working
towards a degree in chemistry. It has been
claimed that Dahmer was deprived of
attention. From an early age, Dahmer
manifested an interest in dead animals.
Friends later recalled Dahmer initially
collected large insects, such as dragonflies
and butterflies, which he placed inside
jars. Later, he collected animal carcasses
from the, occasionally accompanied by
one or more of his few friends; he
dismembered these animals either at
home or in an expanse of woodland
behind the family home. According to one Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer
friend, Dahmer dismembered these
animals and stored the parts in jars
Born May 2, 1960.
Dahmer's capture of dead animals began when, at the age of four, he
noticed that his father was removing the bones of animals from under
the family home. According to Lionel Dahmer, his son was
"amazingly enthralled" by the sound of the bones, and immediately
developed a fixation for playing and collecting bones of animals. He
occasionally searched for extra bones under and around the family
home. With living animals, he examined their bodies to find out
where their bones were.
In 1968, the family moved to
Bath, Ohio. Two years later,
during a family chicken meal,
Damer asked his father what if
the chicken bones were placed in
a bleaching solution. The father
was delighted with the initiative
shown by his son. The father
eagerly showed his son how to
safely whiten and preserve
animal bones. Damer used this
knowledge to cleanse and
preserve the bones on many
animal remains that he
continued to collect.
At school, the boy studied well and even
had creative hobbies: he played in the
school orchestra, played tennis, wrote
notes in the school newspaper. After
leaving school, Jeffrey Damer went to
university, but did not study there for
long - he was expelled because of his
addiction to alcohol. As a result, in 1979,
Jeffrey decided to become a contractor
and went to serve at a military base in
Germany. But from there in 1981 he was
fired for the same reason - drunkenness.
Damer returned to America. There,
having lived for some time in Ohio and
Miami, he finally settled with his
grandmother and in 1985 began working
at a local confectionery factory.
Geoffrey settled with his grandmother and in the
basement of her house dismembered until that moment
not the first victim. Fortunately, my grandmother did not
find out the details, but still decided to put her grandson
out the door. Damer rented an apartment where he lured a
13-year-old boy, treated him to sleeping coffee and took
off in obscene poses. The teenager managed to escape. In
August 1986, Damer was arrested for masturbating in
front of two 12-year-old boys.
The first murder
Dahmer committed his first murder at
the age of 18 on June 18, 1978. Damer
picked up a seventeen-year-old
hitchhiker Stephen Hicks and invited
him to his place. They drank beer,
smoked marijuana and, according to
some, had sex. When Hicks wanted to
leave a few hours later, Damer
stunned his dumbbells on his head,
and then strangled him. Then Damer
cut the corpse, put the pieces in plastic
garbage bags, drove into the forest and
scattered the bags at a sufficient
distance from each other. Jeffrey
wrapped his head in several layers of
packaging film and hid it in the
refrigerator.
September 15, 1987 - Dahmer kills his second
victim, 24-year-old Stephen Twomey, in a
hotel room at the Ambassador Hotel. Damer
did not remember how the murder happened.
He remembered meeting Tuomi at a gay bar;
they drank a lot with him, then rented a hotel
room, and when Damer woke up in the
morning, he found Tuomi's corpse in bed next
to him. He bought a large suitcase with
wheels, put his body in it and took it by taxi to
his grandmother's house. The corpse lay in the
basement for almost a week. At the weekend,
he dismembered the corpse and threw parts of
the body into the trash. The remains of
Stephen Tuomi were never found.
