The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
The Jeffrey Dahmer Story: An American Nightmare | Donald A. Davis
They smelled the foul odors. They heard the power saw buzzing in the dead of night but neighbors never imagined the horrors happening right next door. The hot sultry night of July 22, 1991 was one the tenants of the Oxford Apartments would never forget. A panic stricken young man--a pair of handcuffs still dangling from his wrists--ran out of Apartment 213 and told police an incredible tale of terror. Shaking with fear, he led officers back to his captor's lair, where they made the gruesome discovery. Inside were the body parts of at least fifteen men--including torsos stuffed into a barrel, severed heads in a refrigerator, and skulls boiled clean and stashed in a filing cabinet. Tacked to the freezer were Poloroid photographs of mutilated corpses. When investigators arrested 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, they realized they had stumbled onto a "real-life Hannibal Lecter"--a sadistic murderer who told them he had saved a human heart "to eat later". What could turn a handsome, former tennis player, the son of middle-class parents, into a perverse serial killer whose unthinkable acts shocked the nation? The Jeffrey Dahmer Story takes you into Jeffrey Dahmer's twisted world of bizarre sexual encounters, mutilation and cannibalism--in one of history's most appalling true crime cases. With 8 pages of chilling photographs.

Y'all know I know my serial killers 😬💋 the book is decent and I'm trying to get into the Netflix show but it's kind of a buzzkill because I know the story already. People are so shocked with the show. Do they not know what mentally/emotionally deranged individuals are capable of? Dahmer's story is definitely one of the more disturbing/fascinating from a mental illness standpoint. Spooky season #truecrime.

EvieBee Yeah, he was “a lot.” Disassociation is something that needs to be noticed early. 1y
bibliobliss @EvieBee Yes. So many people dropped the ball around Dahmer. 1y

My husband and I binged all 10 episodes this weekend! I can‘t say I “enjoyed” this series but it did keep me watching. I felt so bad for the many victims, including the families of those he killed. Just awful! Given this I definitely think he counts as a killer for my #scarathlondailyprompts +5 points for the photo prompt and +50 for all ten episodes! #scarathlon #teamslaughter

Incredible book that goes through the life of Jeffrey Dahmer and his victims. This is not a play by play of police procedures. This book tells a definitive story with lots of background information. Well researched and easy to follow.
I would recommend this book to those interested in true crime/serial killers.

keepingupwiththepenguins Oooh, sounds fantastic! I'm a long time true-crime junkie, will be checking it out. 5y

Okay so many of you may not know but I LOVE TRUE CRIME books, I've been reading these since I can remember . I found this oldie but a goodie and I had to buy it. These things blow my mind and they are the true horror. I did a report on Jeffery Dahmer in high school and on charles manson and it was horrific. When i was little i wanted to grow up to be a detective, but I never pursued it so I read true crime instead! #truecrime

AshleyHoss820 When my Dad was a prosecuting attorney, he had to go to a conference about identifying serial killers. At the time, Dahmer was the most recent, so they talked about that quite a bit. 😊 We had interesting dinner table conversations to say the least...😄 6y
MStew Omg that's awesome I'm a interesting way! Wow your dad is COOL! 6y
Amiable I used to read a lot of true-crime as well. Favorites include "Helter Skelter" and "In Cold Blood." (edited) 6y

Supersteph Love true crime, too, but I‘ve only really got into it recently, so haven‘t read that much. That book looks fascinating!! 6y
MStew @Supersteph true crime is my go to☺ hope you find some good ones to read 6y
MStew @Amiable helter skelter is my fav as well 6y
AshleyHoss820 @meghan2714 My Dad is indeed cool. 😄 Part of being the prosecuting attorney for the county we live in means you‘re also the coroner. I needed bugs for science class...my Dad brought me home maggots. Three guesses where he got them...😂😂😂 Needless to say, I share your absolute fascination with True Crime! 6y
MStew @AshleyHoss820 hahaha this is awesome!!! 😂😂😂 6y
AshleyHoss820 @meghan2714 ☺️☺️😂😂 6y
