By Anna Collins 1 year ago

1. Jeffrey Dahmer's Kitchen

Image source/ The SunIt may look like an ordinary apartment for 300 dollars a month, but it here is Jeffrey Dahmer's infamous apartment where he murdered many of his victims. This is a glimpse of the kitchen of where the necrophiliac, murdering, cannibal recently once lived.

2. Where he slept

Image source/ The Sun
Here is his bed where the prolific murderer slept each night, with a red stain above the head of the bed and a bin by the side. When the FBI and the police raided his apartment there were human remains or evidence found in almost every space within the apartment.

3. Tools he used on the bodies of his victims

Image source/ The Sun
Neighbours had also complained about the noises coming from inside Dahmer's apartment many times, because they could hear a chainsaw at strange hours for no apparent reason. This was what he used to saw and break the body into pieces and sever the bones.

4. His living room

Image source/ The Sun
During his time in this apartment, he murdered another 11 boys/men. He would lure them back by different means. Offering them money or tempting them back for alcohol or a place to stay. Once they were inside, they did not realise that they would never exit again - only those who managed to survive.

5. A close up of his equipment

Image source/ The Sun
Here is a pile of the equipment that Jeffrey Dahmer used to murder and decapitate his victims. Not only would he saw them into different parts - but he would also use the saw to remove the head. But he would also use the different saws to saw off different body parts and keep them.

6. A barrel of acid

Image source/ The Sun
Barrels of acid were found inside his home where he would put some of the body to dissolve. He would order boxes of acid to fill up this huge vat. Then he would often keep the bones which would be left after the acid had broken down all of the flesh so that this was all that remained.

7. Human remains

Image source/ blogspot
On the night of his arrest the police found several organs including two heads, severed body parts including severed genitalia, several skulls (as we can see here) and other skeletons as well as other different kinds of body parts that he kept from his victims.

8. He kept body parts in the fridge

Neighbours had complained several times about smells coming from his apartment without anybody doing anything about it. Dahmer blamed these smells initially on the excuse that his freezer kept breaking and so he said the food inside had all gone bad. Then when he could no longer use this excuse, he claimed that his fish had died and had left a rotting fish smell in his apartment.

9. Two victim's skulls

Image source/ Thecrimemag
Here are two of the skulls of his victims that he kept and stored. There were many body parts found, even from before he moved into this flat. He had brought some body parts of his previous victims including a penis and a skull from Anthony Sears who was Dahmer's fifth victim to this apartment.

10. Under investigation

Image source/ Morbidtourism
Here we can see an open draw, an old TV and part of the vat of acid. There is a policewoman assisted by an FBI investigator who are working their way through he flat and collecting many samples of the killer's victims. Aside from all of the evidence he also gave a detailed account in court as there was no point denying it.

11. A bloody handprint

Image source/ Oxygen
We can see on this pillow which has been stored in his cupboard, the faint stains of a bloody handprint. As well as killing his victims he committed sec crimes and torture. He also has some of his equipment stored in his wardrobe which he used to kill his victims.

12. The drugs he used on his victims

Image source/ Tumblr
These bottles pictured here were amongst some of the drugs that Dehmer used on his victims. He would drug them and subdue them using these drugs and then he would drill holes into the victim's skulls and then inject acid into the brain which would create a kind of zombified state.

13. A photo of Konerak Sinthasomphone

Konerak Sinthasomphone was aged just 14 when Dahmer murdered him. he was the youngest of the serial killer's victims. He had drilled a hole into his skull and drugged him. However, Dahmer left him and went to the shop to buy more alcohol and in the meantime, Konerak had woken up, escaped the apartment and managed to flag attention in the street including two police officers. Dahmer convinced them he was a friend and so he took him back and killed him.

14. Pans and knives

Image source/ Dilymail
These, in anybody else's apartment would looks like normal cooking utensils. However, we know that sometimes Dahmer would cut up his victims' bodies and cook them in his kitchen and actually eat them. He is often referred to as the Milwaukee cannibal.

15. Murder weapons and tapes

Image source/ jorgebanet
Here we can see some of the tapes and the lights that Dehmer used to photograph his victims in various states. We can also see the vat of acid which lies next to his bed. And his desk where he planned and looked over past murders. He had many more plans to capture, torture and murder.

16. The living room where he brought back victims

Image source/ hotlifestylenews
This is where Jeffrey Dahmer the notorious killer he used to sit, in his living room. And the place where he would first take his victims and sit them down with a drink. Alongside his normal furniture there are always glimpses and signs of strange liquids or materials which he used.

17. A seemingly innocuous apartment

Image source/ hotlifestylenews
This is one of the most ordinary and inconspicuous photos from Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment which held so many stories of horror and death. Jeffrey Dahmer is responsible for the gruesome killing of 17 boys and men throughout his time, and he's now sentences to 16 life terms in prison.

18. Number 213

Image source/ hotlifestylenews
In 1990 Dahmer moved here into the number 213 apartment that we can see here, at the Oxford Apartments in Milwaukee. This number has now become associated with one of the worst criminal monsters. His entire apartment as we can see by the sign was used as evidence.

19. He boiled heads on this stove

Image source/ Thecrimemag
Dehmer during his court case revealed that on average it takes around an hour's time to boil a human head on the stove. This was the very pan and stove he used to commit such foul acts. The evidence had already been found. Dahmer merely added the detail.

20. Emptied draws

Image source/ Reddit
Before the police and FBI had raided his house these drawers were full of evidence. Jeffrey Dahmer was relying on the fact that nobody would suspect him enough to search his apartment because once they saw inside the place was crawling from evidence.

21. A draw full of polaroid's

Image source/ web3
Jeffrey Dahmer has draws full of polaroids and photos of his victims, including photos of him and his victim's bodies. He would also photograph them when he had severed them and dismembered them and photos showing necrophilia. Dahmer kept records of each and every one of his victims.

22. Carrying out the evidence

Image source/ The Sun
Here is the investigating team carrying out the barrel of acid which was used to contain a lot of evidence. There was a mountain of evidence collected against Dahmer. Aside from the physical evidence, his only survivor reported of seeing a human head hanging in his closet.

23. Nobody else would live there

Image source/ Philstartlife
Unsurprisingly, the apartment was emptied, and nobody wanted it or would live in it. Including the neighbours who no longer wanted to live there. Everybody refused, because of the atrocities that were now associated with it. So, it was completely demolished.

24. The entrance

Image source/ List123
This is the entrance into the block of apartments where the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer could be found. Shockingly the police had not only seen this place once. They had walked to his apartment one prior time, to return one of his victims to him. And despite the smells and suspicions they did not investigate.

25. Completely cleared out

Image source/ The Sun
This is the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer completely cleaned out, turned inside out. everything inside it was submitted as evidence and testing. Along with the large pieces of evidence including a full torse and three partial torsos, a mummified scalp and much more, there were also other small details used as evidence.

26. The last sight of his victims

Image source/ The Sun
Only one man had a view of this apartment that actually made it out alive. And thanks to his escape this was finally the end of his reign of terror and murdering spree. The man had managed to hit Dahmer and then shove him back hard enough to make it out of the doors fast enough to get away.

27. A home video

Image source/ The Sun
This is a home video that Jeffrey Dahmer took himself. This was not the only kind of videographic and photographic evidence he took. He liked to store photograph's away of his victims. Many people thought he was just a normal guy, as he may look in this photo.

28.  Cannibalism

Image source/ Thecrimemag
If you look to the side of the fridge, you can see a desk with some break and a spread on it. Jeffrey used his fridge for his victims rather than for food and so his living was often revered. Although as we now, he is known for eating the human flesh also.

29. A fridge full of body parts

 
Image source/ Thecrimemag
With Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment, everything was used as evidence. This fridge had human parts stored inside it to try and slow down the decaying process. But every part of his apartment was filled with evidence of his murders and so most of it had to be taken.

30. The outside view

Image source/ Thecrimemag
This is an outside view of his apartment when it still stood - what looks like a normal apartment. Nobody knew what was truly happening inside those walls until it finally came to an end when the authorities got involved and discovered the extent of his crimes.

Here's all the undisclosed evidence from his trial... 1. Polaroids led to his arrest

Image source/ serialkillers
Jeffrey Dahmer committed heinous acts, but he was by no means fool proof even despite the fact that he evaded the scrutiny of the authorities for many years. And it was down to a few polaroids which had been casually left around his apartment which was the final straw in his arrest.

2. They doubted the fleeing victim

Image source/ wordpress
As we know the reason of his arrest came about as Jeffrey Dahmer had captured his last victim - luring him back to the house for money and then forcing his with a knife and handcuffs. But he managed with force to breakaway and find police who escorted him to the apartment to check. And slightly dubious officers then glimpsed the polaroid's and knew something was wrong and made the arrest.

3. His first charge

Image source/ thetoowoombaarticle
The shocking thing about Jeffrey Dahmer and his case is that it wasn't as though he was unknown to the authorities. He was first taken in by police around a decade before he began on his killing spree.  He was charged with two accounts of fondling himself in front of two underage boys who were 12 at the time.

4. Second charge

Image source/ Tumblr
He was then charged and sentenced with drugging and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy. He ended up spending a few months in prison and then he was released on parole. So, he had to visit his parole officer. This was just immediately prior to his killing spree and so during this time he was murdering people.

5. His double hernia

Image source/ 10topbuzz
His father, naturally, has been reflecting on Jeffrey's past to try and discover any signs or any points in his life where there were changes. He revealed one incident where he was in hospital as a child with a double hernial. But after this, his son became convinced his genitals had been removed during the operation and that he had in fact been castrated.

6. Butchering genitals

Image source/ globo
His father goes as far to wonder whether this obsession from a young age about being castrated led on to his fascination with his victim's genitals. There were multiple instances where Dahmer would cut off his victim's genitals and keep them, preserving them permanently.

7. Abandonment

Image source/ you.ppep
Another significant issue of his past was that his parents were not often there. He did not get much attention of a loving family who were very present. They were often away and left Jeffrey and his brother to their own devices. Which, his father believes may have contributed to his later crimes and feels partly responsible for how things turned out.

8. His mother's mental health issues

Image source/ Business Insider
Also revealed in his father's book was that his mother struggles with metal health issues and there was a time where the family had to deal with her being off her anti-anxiety medication in which family life was quite unstable. Again, he believes this was another traumatic point which also had a part to play.

9. Fascinated with a pile of dead bones at 4 years old

Image source/ Reddit
But regardless Jeffrey Dahmer was displaying highly unusual qualities at just the age of four years old. For example, he found a pile of bones in the garden belonging to a dead animal. He was fascinated by it, and this triggered his fascination for bones and death.

10. 9th grade science dissection

Image source/ Ovave
Then, by 9th grade these characteristics were even more prominent despite the fact that they had not been practiced upon much until 9th grade. There was a pig dissection in his science class, which he loved. He was very excited by it and kept the bones after he had performed the dissection.

11. The start of more...

Image source/ TheRichest
He then began collecting dead animals from the side of the road who had been killed by passing cars, he would then dissect them and keep their remains. Some sources claim he also began killing live animals including people's pets neighbours and putting their heads on sticks.

12. People sensed a darkness about him when he was young

Image source/ reddit
One of his friends from when the pair were young said that he sensed a darkness in him even when the two were boys. In fact, it was so strong that he would only hang around with him when he was with others because of this disturbing feeling which kept him at a distance from peers.

13. His group of friends

Image source/ radaronline
This friend also recounted how they formed a joke kind of Dahmer fan club in school because Dahmer would entertain them by doing things such as faking seizures or imitating people, they knew who had disabilities. Now, he recognises the behaviour was not normal.

14. His first victim

Image source/ gunow
Around a month before his parents finalized their divorce, he murdered his first victim Steven Hicks who had been hitchhiking along a road trying to get to a concert. Even after his first murder he had a narrow escape. Officers stopped him when he was disposing of Hick's body, but he claims he was simply taking out the trash.

15. Time in the military

Image source/ timetoast
Jeffrey Dahmer joined the military briefly after this. And Preston Davis claimed that he would get drunk and start boasting about how he murdered a man. He also revealed that Dahmer raped him. He was soon dismissed from the army due to alcohol abuse.

16. Massive police mistakes

Image source/ blogspot
Throughout Jeffrey Dahmer's torturous time, there were several mistakes by the police. For example, Konerak Sinthasomphone managed to escape after having been drugged and having a hole drilled through his skull. He ran out naked into the street for help. Officers believe Dahmer and actually escorted him back to the house.

17. They didn't believe him

Image source/ cincinatti
There were two women there named Nicole Childress and Sandra Smith who called the police. When they came, the police would not believe that the young boy was in trouble. And, when they kept insisting that they should persevere and look into it more, Dahmer warned them that he would then call the police against them instead

18. The police officers

Image source/ oaprend
In fact, Officer Joseph Gabrish told the New York Times: "We're trained to be observant... I've been doing this for a while, and usually if something stands out, you'll spot it. There just wasn't anything there." They even testified to the two of them having a caring relationship Half an hour later Dahmer killed him.

19. Why did he do it?

Image source/ wordpress
It's always a question that people ask criminals - why did they do it? And for Jeffrey Dahmer, he revealed it was to do with arousal and excitement. He was aroused by dead bodies and bodies that had been dismembered, rather than simply an inclination to kill.

20. Holes drilled while the bodies were alive

Image source/ Tumblr
He did not immediately kill his victims as we know. He put them through torture due to enjoying experimenting with them. He would drill a hole into the skull just so that it was big enough to create a passage into their brain, where he would inject hydrochloric acid.

21. Zombified sex slaves

Image source/ nbc
The reason he did this is because he wanted to victim to be in a kind of zombie state. His real wish was to create zombified sex slaves. As we know he enjoyed the victim being incapacitates and he also enjoyed performing sexual acts on the victims when they were in this state, as well as when they were dead.

22. Eating the bodies of his victims

Image source/ Cleveland
Jeffrey Dahmer was terrible in every kind of way, abusing people and their bodies in every way possible. After brutally murdering, dissecting and performing sexual acts he would also participate in acts of cannibalism - eating the flesh of his victims. Evidence was found to support this accusation that he was a cannibal. He would boil human heads on his oven...

23. Keeping their remains

Image source/ blogspot
There was overwhelming evidence found in Dahmer's apartment from his 17 victims. There were three partial torsos found in a tub of acid, there was a full torso, several skulls, two hearts, multiple genitalia, several different kinds of organs and random body parts which he had preserved and kept.

24. Shari Dahmer...no guilt

Image source/ ukir
His stepmother has revealed that she thought young Jeffrey Dahmer was in need of much love as well as attention. Now, when she has been questioned about her stepson, she revealed that she feels no guilt because she was not a part of what happened. Despite his father writing a book and claiming that he puts his son's crimes largely down to his negligence as a parent

25. Fan mail

Image source/ YouTube
Sickeningly, Jeffrey Dahmer was earning money in prison through fan mail. It has been brought to media attention in recent programmes that some people strike up relationships with prisoners. People tried in this case also despite the fact they were contacting a murdering monster.

26. A group of cannibals

Image source/ Facebook
There was even a group on Facebook which was found called the McDahmers. This was a sick twist on McDonald's products to refer to Dahmer's cannibalism as though they were Dahmer's snacks. This group were fans of Jeffrey Dahmer who came together to show allegiance to the killer.

27. His death

Image source/ trendradars
Dahmer was killed due to his lack of repentance by a fellow prisoner who claimed that Dahmer had taunted prisoners, made cannibalistic symbols and shaped his food into limbs whilst squirting ketchup as though it was blood. When he confessed to Christopher Scarver, he killed him by bludgeoning him to death.

28. Killing 17 people

Image source/ thatviralfeed
Altogether Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 boys and men by luring them in and drugging them, performing different kinds of torturous experiments, dismembering them and performing sexual acts. He did it in the most brutal ways possible, thankfully he was eventually caught.

29. Necrophilia

Image source/ vizaca
He would perform sexual acts on some of the victims whilst they were alive and then after he had murdered them. Then, whilst he was performing necrophiliac acts he would capture it all on photographs and take pictures in various states - of which were retrieved as evidence by the police.

30. He was highly logical and calm

Image source/ Cleveland
Jeffrey Dahmer was diagnosed in 1992 with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, as well as a psychotic disorder. However, when he had his medical evaluation for his trial, he was found perfectly sane. And the whole time he was highly calm and logical which made his acts seem even more unnerving.
