Serial Killer Documentary - Jeffrey Dahmer · The Evolution of Evil - True Crime Stories

Speaker 1: Shortly before midnight on July the twenty second, nineteen ninety one,
0:10
Speaker 1: two Milwaukee police officers were flagged down in their patrol
0:14
Speaker 1: car by a man with a pair of handcuffs dangling
0:17
Speaker 1: from one wrist. The police had no idea that this
0:21
Speaker 1: bizarre encounter would lead to the arrest of one of
0:24
Speaker 1: the most prolific serial killers in US history.
0:28
Speaker 2: That night, people were afraid. People were whispering under their breaths.
0:34
Speaker 2: It was the devil, It's the devil.
0:36
Speaker 1: The man had escaped from a small one bedroom apartment
0:40
Speaker 1: on North twenty fifth Street. When the officers went to investigate,
0:44
Speaker 1: they found themselves in a living nightmare.
0:46
Speaker 3: They saw the body parts and then one of the
0:48
Speaker 3: officers that he heard a scream. Then he realized he
0:51
Speaker 3: was the one who screened when he saw.
0:52
Speaker 1: The body without detection. Thirty one year old Jeffrey Dahmer
0:56
Speaker 1: had killed seventeen young men across a thirteen year period.
1:01
Speaker 4: He hasn't got the same level of repulsion and shock
1:05
Speaker 4: dead bodies or mutilated bodies that most of us have.
1:08
Speaker 4: It was just another aspect of his life.
1:11
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Damer had etched his name in history as one
1:15
Speaker 1: of the world's most evil killers. The name Jeffrey Dama
1:39
Speaker 1: has become synonymous with evil. Between nineteen seventy eight and
1:44
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, he killed seventeen young men and boys
1:48
Speaker 1: by drugging them before strangling them to death. As the
1:51
Speaker 1: revelations of the murders came to light, it was the
1:54
Speaker 1: behavior of Dama once he killed his victims that really
1:58
Speaker 1: stunned the world with stories of necrophilia and cannibalism. The
2:04
Speaker 1: first journalist to arrive at the crime scene was Annie Schwartz.
2:08
Speaker 2: It wasn't a gory crime scene. It was really quite antiseptic.
2:13
Speaker 2: It was a very simple one bedroom with a kitchen
2:16
Speaker 2: and a living room, and it looked like a regular
2:20
Speaker 2: single guy lived there. Some dishes in the scene, but
2:24
Speaker 2: by and large, this was not some chamber of horrors
2:27
Speaker 2: like people you know will describe it, certainly not at
2:30
Speaker 2: first look. Once detectives and officers started searching further, that's
2:36
Speaker 2: when they found out the actual horror was in that apartment.
2:41
Speaker 1: The story of this macabre killer begins thirty years before
2:45
Speaker 1: his arrest. Jeffrey Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on
2:50
Speaker 1: May the twenty first, nineteen sixty the family moved to
2:54
Speaker 1: Iowa before settling in Ohio in nineteen sixty six.
2:59
Speaker 5: If you live with his parents, who were constantly, constantly,
3:04
Speaker 5: as he put it, at each other's throats, you know,
3:07
Speaker 5: his mother appeared to have been, you know, this raging
3:11
Speaker 5: bundle of neurotic behavior of parents were constantly fighting and screaming.
3:16
Speaker 5: And you know, Dahmer himself evidently throughout much of his
3:22
Speaker 5: early life, was completely completely ignored by both of them
3:25
Speaker 5: were so caught up in their own psychological turmoil.
3:32
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Darmer never really made close social links with any
3:36
Speaker 4: of his peers. He was a little bit odd, and
3:39
Speaker 4: if you speak to his school friends at the time,
3:42
Speaker 4: he didn't seem to have a lot of empathy for
3:44
Speaker 4: other children. So when children would fall over in the
3:47
Speaker 4: playground or get hurt or cry, he didn't appear to
3:50
Speaker 4: be affected by that and would sometimes laugh at them.
3:53
Speaker 4: So something wasn't quite right with a young Jeffrey Darmer.
3:59
Speaker 1: Feeling ostra size by his family and classmates, Dama spent
4:03
Speaker 1: a lot of time playing alone in the woods surrounding
4:06
Speaker 1: his Ohio home.
4:08
Speaker 6: Well.
4:08
Speaker 4: He had a really morbid curiosity with death from quite
4:11
Speaker 4: a young age, and This started with a fairly innocent
4:14
Speaker 4: insect collection, and he would keep the bodies of insects
4:18
Speaker 4: inside jars full of chemicals.
4:20
Speaker 6: This soon progressed.
4:22
Speaker 4: He would go fishing, and he was interested in what
4:24
Speaker 4: the fish look like on the inside, so he would
4:27
Speaker 4: chop up the fish to have a look at this.
4:30
Speaker 2: Damer took his fish and cut it open. It was
4:33
Speaker 2: fascinated with the inside of the fish, and one of
4:38
Speaker 2: his little friends asked him, Jeffrey, why do you what
4:42
Speaker 2: are you doing?
4:43
Speaker 5: And he said, just look at it, you know, And this,
4:47
Speaker 5: you know, escalates, you know, to the point that it's
4:50
Speaker 5: you know, he's apparently killing stray dogs and you know,
4:54
Speaker 5: decapitating them.
4:55
Speaker 4: One of the young boys in the neighborhood was walking
4:58
Speaker 4: in the woods behind Damo's house when Dahmer was a teenager,
5:02
Speaker 4: and he came across the body of a dead dog
5:05
Speaker 4: and it was mutilated and it was nailed to a tree.
5:08
Speaker 5: So there's some early interest in animal anatomy that blossoms
5:15
Speaker 5: into this very very dark obsession and then somehow becomes
5:20
Speaker 5: tangled up with his own sexuality.
5:24
Speaker 1: Dahma continued to struggle to fit in at high school
5:28
Speaker 1: and turn to alcohol from a young age.
5:31
Speaker 4: Well, Dahma started drinking when he was at school, and
5:34
Speaker 4: one of his former classmates remembered that he used to
5:36
Speaker 4: come in with a cup and he didn't have tea
5:38
Speaker 4: or coffee in this cup. He had scotch whiskey in it.
5:41
Speaker 4: So this was quite a disturbing behavior for a teenager.
5:45
Speaker 2: There's a thought that, in hindsight, you ask why more
5:50
Speaker 2: people didn't try to intervene. You've got a kid coming
5:52
Speaker 2: drunk to school. But back in the seventies, when Dahmer's
5:57
Speaker 2: coming to school intoxicated, nobody thinks we better make sure
6:01
Speaker 2: we take care of this because what if he turns
6:03
Speaker 2: out to be a serial killer.
6:07
Speaker 1: In the summer of nineteen seventy eight, Dama's parents finally divorced.
6:12
Speaker 4: The breakdown of Jeffrey Darmer's parents' marriage was quite a
6:15
Speaker 4: tough time for him. His parents were at each other's throats.
6:18
Speaker 4: It was not an amicable divorce at all, and each
6:21
Speaker 4: of them was forcing him to side with them. So
6:24
Speaker 4: he felt very much torn between his parents. So this
6:28
Speaker 4: was a real source of conflict for him, and I
6:30
Speaker 4: think at this time. Children often who have these experiences
6:34
Speaker 4: will retreat into themselves. They will preoccupy themselves with things
6:38
Speaker 4: that they're interested in and will lose themselves in their
6:41
Speaker 4: own fantasy world.
6:42
Speaker 6: And I think that's very much what happened with Darma.
6:45
Speaker 1: Having just recently graduated from high school, Darma soon had
6:49
Speaker 1: no one around him at all.
6:51
Speaker 6: Well.
6:51
Speaker 4: In nineteen seventy eight, Jeffrey Darmer was eighteen. His mother
6:55
Speaker 4: had gone away with his younger brother, and his father
6:57
Speaker 4: was living in a hotel, and he's ruminating and he's fantasizing,
7:03
Speaker 4: and things are going to take her a turn for
7:05
Speaker 4: the worst.
7:06
Speaker 6: Quite soon after.
7:07
Speaker 1: This, on June the eighteenth, nineteen seventy eight, Dahmer's fantasy
7:13
Speaker 1: world collided with the real one when he pulled over
7:16
Speaker 1: to pick up a nineteen year old hitchhiker called Stephen Hicks.
7:21
Speaker 5: Dahmer picked him up and invited him back to his
7:23
Speaker 5: house to have some drinks and I guess maybe smoke
7:26
Speaker 5: some dope.
7:27
Speaker 2: They were in the basement of his parents' home. They
7:31
Speaker 2: had had sex, and then Stephen Hicks wanted to leave,
7:36
Speaker 2: and that was when Dahmer just wanted so badly to
7:39
Speaker 2: have company. Sounds like such a textbook psychological thing, you know,
7:44
Speaker 2: abandonment syndrome, but this was at the heart of what
7:48
Speaker 2: made him so needy for company.
7:50
Speaker 5: And then when the guy said he wanted to leave,
7:52
Speaker 5: Dahmer clubbed him on the back of the head with
7:54
Speaker 5: a bar bell and then strangled him, then ultimately dispoke
8:00
Speaker 5: to the body, removed all the flesh and eventually dissolved
8:05
Speaker 5: in an acid, and pulverized the bones with a sledgehammer.
8:10
Speaker 6: This is a really, really brutal crime.
8:13
Speaker 4: And he disposes of the body parts in the woods
8:15
Speaker 4: behind his house. And that's a really symbolic place for
8:18
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Dharmer because this is a place where he's dismembered
8:21
Speaker 4: animals before, where he's displayed mutilated dogs on tree trunks,
8:26
Speaker 4: So we're seeing that this place is special to it.
8:29
Speaker 1: Dharma had experienced taking the life of another human for
8:33
Speaker 1: the first time.
8:38
Speaker 4: I think that the first murder is a real milestone
8:41
Speaker 4: for Jeffrey Darmer, so he knows now that he's capable
8:44
Speaker 4: of this. He knows that he's capable of taking someone
8:46
Speaker 4: else's life. So it's not just a fantasy anymore. It's
8:50
Speaker 4: now a reality. He's gone from harming animals to harming people,
8:54
Speaker 4: and he's not going to stop.
8:56
Speaker 3: He's not desperate, but he becomes accustomed to it. He
9:00
Speaker 3: becomes ready to kill again.
9:02
Speaker 4: And just kill and kill and kill and kill until
9:05
Speaker 4: he gets caught.
9:07
Speaker 1: But it wasn't until thirteen years later, in August nineteen
9:11
Speaker 1: ninety one, that Dama was finally apprehended after one of
9:15
Speaker 1: his potential victims escape from his Milwaukee apartment. Once in custody,
9:20
Speaker 1: Dahma confess to killing seventeen young men and boys. The
9:25
Speaker 1: man whose job it was to prosecute the relentless killer
9:29
Speaker 1: was Milwaukee District Attorney Mike mccannon.
9:32
Speaker 3: The word evil doesn't come up very often. It just doesn't. Guilty,
9:35
Speaker 3: not guilty. Did he do it, didn't he do it?
9:37
Speaker 3: Culpability yes, but not often evil because evil was almost
9:40
Speaker 3: a moral issue. The word came up with Damer. You
9:43
Speaker 3: couldn't help see what he did innocent people, strangers, to
9:48
Speaker 3: take for a couple of hours of sex, To take
9:50
Speaker 3: a human being's life, that's so evil, so evil.
9:54
Speaker 1: Dama's case made headlines across the world after the details
9:58
Speaker 1: of his grisly confessed and were leaked.
10:01
Speaker 3: The New York Times reporter compronized the integrity of a
10:04
Speaker 3: worker at our building and got a copy of the confession.
10:06
Speaker 3: It was a detailed, thirty eight page confession, so the
10:09
Speaker 3: details of the gory things he had done again captured
10:12
Speaker 3: people's interests, so that's how it rapidly became a matter
10:17
Speaker 3: of intense interest.
10:18
Speaker 1: The confession outlined the life of a deranged serial killer.
10:23
Speaker 1: After murdering Stephen Hicks and desecrating his body in nineteen
10:27
Speaker 1: seventy eight, Dama didn't kill again for nine years. After
10:32
Speaker 1: dropping out of Ohio State University after just one semester,
10:37
Speaker 1: he was spending most of his days drinking until his
10:40
Speaker 1: father urged him to enlist in the US Armor.
10:44
Speaker 4: The alcohol continued as a theme when he joined the
10:46
Speaker 4: army and he moved to Germany. One of his former
10:50
Speaker 4: colleagues remembers him just sitting in his room drinking gin
10:54
Speaker 4: all day long, not even leaving his room to eat,
10:57
Speaker 4: so there was a real dependency on.
10:59
Speaker 1: Our In nineteen eighty one, twenty one year old Dama
11:04
Speaker 1: was discharged from the Army after his drinking rendered him
11:08
Speaker 1: incapable of serving. After spending a month sleeping rough on
11:12
Speaker 1: the beaches of Florida, he returned to Ohio, but his
11:17
Speaker 1: father had had enough and shipped him off to start
11:19
Speaker 1: a new life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
11:23
Speaker 5: He was sent to live with his grandmother, who was
11:25
Speaker 5: the one adult. Apparently he had you know, something approaching,
11:28
Speaker 5: you know, a normal affection for I was there he
11:31
Speaker 5: really embarked on this career of horror.
11:35
Speaker 1: By nineteen eighty six, Dama had been arrested a couple
11:39
Speaker 1: of times for exposing himself in public, once in front
11:43
Speaker 1: of a group of children. The hopeless alcoholic had managed
11:47
Speaker 1: to find work at a local chocolate factory in Milwaukee
11:51
Speaker 1: and was frequenting gay bars and bathhouses.
11:55
Speaker 4: I think being homosexual affected Dahmer in two ways. Firstly,
11:59
Speaker 4: it was a sort of shame for him because it
12:01
Speaker 4: was quite a stigmatized social identity at the time. But
12:05
Speaker 4: also it enabled him an opportunity when it came to
12:09
Speaker 4: his killing behavior. So being homosexual at this time it
12:13
Speaker 4: was something that happened in the shadows. It was something
12:15
Speaker 4: that happened underground, and this was the ideal place for
12:18
Speaker 4: someone like him to go hunting.
12:20
Speaker 1: It was this exposure to the gay scene that seemed
12:23
Speaker 1: to reawaken the dark sexual urges inside of him, and
12:27
Speaker 1: by September nineteen eighty seven, over nine years since the
12:31
Speaker 1: murder of Stephen Hicks, Jeffrey Dahmer was ready to kill again.
12:35
Speaker 2: His idea was to drug people and keep them with
12:40
Speaker 2: him so that they wouldn't they wouldn't answer back to him,
12:42
Speaker 2: they wouldn't argue with him, they wouldn't fight him, they
12:45
Speaker 2: would stay with him.
12:46
Speaker 7: That's what he wanted. He wanted companionship.
12:49
Speaker 2: So he would go to the bars on Milwaukee's near
12:52
Speaker 2: south side and he would have conversations with people in
12:55
Speaker 2: these bars. And when he was talking to these people,
12:58
Speaker 2: these prospective victim, he would say, so, what was it
13:02
Speaker 2: like when you came out? How is your family about it?
13:06
Speaker 2: So if your response was, oh, my family has been great.
13:09
Speaker 2: They're so supportive, I'm very close to my parents, that
13:12
Speaker 2: person wasn't going to be a victim. But if the
13:15
Speaker 2: person answered, my parents aren't speaking to me anymore, I'm
13:19
Speaker 2: estrange for my family.
13:21
Speaker 7: I'm kind of on my own now.
13:23
Speaker 2: That was the perfect victim for Jeffrey Dahmer because he
13:26
Speaker 2: wanted to choose people who wouldn't be missed.
13:30
Speaker 1: Between September nineteen eighty seven and March nineteen eighty eight,
13:35
Speaker 1: Dama killed three men the youngest of fourteen year old
13:39
Speaker 1: boy who he paid to pose for nude photographs before
13:42
Speaker 1: drugging and strangling him to death. He would dissolve the
13:46
Speaker 1: bodies in acid.
13:48
Speaker 3: He cleverly developed a program to destroy the bodies to
13:51
Speaker 3: get rid of the bodies, left no evidence. This was
13:53
Speaker 3: a very clever killer, very clever killer.
13:57
Speaker 8: Dama would dissolve his victims, presumably to make it easier
14:01
Speaker 8: to dispose of them. Dissolving tissuan chemicals can certainly interfere
14:07
Speaker 8: with identifying it as human tissue. It'll interfere with DNA.
14:10
Speaker 8: You're really left predominantly with skeletal remains to try and
14:14
Speaker 8: identify features such as age, sex, race.
14:18
Speaker 1: Darma murdered two of the victims at his grandmother's house
14:22
Speaker 1: where he was living.
14:23
Speaker 5: As grandmother became aware that he was bringing these young
14:26
Speaker 5: guys back to her house. I mean she thought for
14:30
Speaker 5: gay sex. Obviously, she had no inkling of the atrocities
14:35
Speaker 5: he was committing on their bodies, although she was complaining
14:38
Speaker 5: also about a foul odor that she noticed.
14:41
Speaker 1: On September the twenty fifth, nineteen eighty eight, Dharma moved
14:45
Speaker 1: into his own apartment on North twenty fifth Street in
14:49
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and didn't wait long before attacking again. The very
14:53
Speaker 1: next day, September the twenty sixth, he enticed a thirteen
14:57
Speaker 1: year old boy back to his home and drugged him.
15:00
Speaker 8: One of the methods that Dama used to subdue his
15:04
Speaker 8: victims was to use Benson doazepines, the same family of
15:08
Speaker 8: drugs as valium. He put them in drinks that would
15:12
Speaker 8: make you woozy, sleepy, and then eventually go unconscious.
15:17
Speaker 1: Dama sexually assaulted the boy, but somehow, possibly due to
15:21
Speaker 1: Dama passing out drunk, the thirteen year old escaped and
15:25
Speaker 1: went to the police. In January nineteen eighty nine, he
15:30
Speaker 1: was convicted of sexual assault, but the sentencing was delayed
15:34
Speaker 1: until May, during which time an unrelenting Dama, unbeknownst to
15:39
Speaker 1: the authorities, managed to claim a fifth victim. The twenty
15:44
Speaker 1: nine year old served ten months in prison, but when
15:47
Speaker 1: he was released in March nineteen ninety, he picked up
15:51
Speaker 1: right where he left off.
15:53
Speaker 4: So Jeffrey Dahmer really did ramp up his offending. The
15:58
Speaker 4: scale and the nature of his behavior became all the
16:01
Speaker 4: more grotesque. So he wasn't just killing people, dismembering them
16:06
Speaker 4: and then disposing of their bodies.
16:09
Speaker 6: He started to do some really bizarre things.
16:11
Speaker 5: He was in the process of constructing some hideously diabolical
16:18
Speaker 5: shrine in his bedroom out of the skulls and skeletons
16:23
Speaker 5: of some of his victims. It's almost as though some
16:28
Speaker 5: bizarre archaic thing had broken through and he was performing
16:35
Speaker 5: or creating some sort of ancient human sacrificial temple in
16:44
Speaker 5: this little Milwaukee apartment.
16:48
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety, Dama killed another four young men. His
16:52
Speaker 1: mo was becoming more and more polished.
16:55
Speaker 2: He would offer his victim's money to go back to
16:59
Speaker 2: his apartment with him, to take pictures, nude photographs of them,
17:03
Speaker 2: and then perhaps to have sex. Every single one of
17:07
Speaker 2: his victims went with him willingly. He would offer them
17:11
Speaker 2: a drink, and once he found out what they wanted
17:15
Speaker 2: to drink, he kept a lot of things on hand,
17:18
Speaker 2: different kinds of alcohol, and that's when he would put
17:21
Speaker 2: a drug in it that would put them to sleep,
17:23
Speaker 2: or that would relax them so that they would pass out.
17:26
Speaker 3: They would pass out, He would then have sex with
17:28
Speaker 3: them while they were passed out, do with them as
17:30
Speaker 3: he wished, but of course they couldn't do to him then,
17:32
Speaker 3: as they approached recovery. Coming out of it, he was
17:34
Speaker 3: strangling to death.
17:35
Speaker 1: It seemed as though Dama got a thrill not from
17:39
Speaker 1: the murder, but from the dead bodies of his victims.
17:42
Speaker 3: Dahmer liked necrophilia. He liked sex with unconscious people. He
17:47
Speaker 3: wasn't a slasher in the sense that he took delight
17:50
Speaker 3: in killing. His purpose was sex with these people. Company
17:53
Speaker 3: with these people. That's hard to believe.
17:55
Speaker 5: He would commit necrophilia, sex, ax on the corpse, dismember
18:00
Speaker 5: the corpses, dissolve parts of the bodies, and these vats
18:04
Speaker 5: of vacidy had keep certain organs and his refrigerator, some
18:08
Speaker 5: of which he would actually cannibalize.
18:11
Speaker 2: Dahmer said that the cannibalism that he engaged in was
18:14
Speaker 2: born out of a curiosity. He wanted to find out,
18:19
Speaker 2: first of all, what that would be like. He also
18:22
Speaker 2: said that there was an element of wanting to make
18:25
Speaker 2: these people a part of him, so they would be
18:28
Speaker 2: with him forever.
18:30
Speaker 5: Dahmer, from the beginning, you know, is driven by this
18:34
Speaker 5: terror of being alone. He said. He killed his first victim,
18:39
Speaker 5: Stephen Hicks, when Hicks said he had to go and
18:41
Speaker 5: Dahmer didn't want to be alone as some desire, which
18:45
Speaker 5: is part of normal sexuality. You know you love somebody,
18:48
Speaker 5: you know somebody will be saying, Oh, I love you
18:50
Speaker 5: so much, I want to eat you up. With normal people,
18:53
Speaker 5: that's obviously metaphorical, but it does express some desire to
18:59
Speaker 5: be so close to the person that you want to
19:01
Speaker 5: incorporate them into. If you want to merge with them
19:04
Speaker 5: with something like Dahmer, that becomes this very literal horror, And.
19:08
Speaker 1: The horror only became worse when Dharma began experimenting with
19:13
Speaker 1: his semi conscious victims.
19:16
Speaker 2: He would drill holes in their skulls and put myriadic
19:19
Speaker 2: acid inside to see if he could get them to
19:23
Speaker 2: a zombie state so that he could keep them alive
19:27
Speaker 2: and subservient to him.
19:30
Speaker 8: It's essentially an amateur version of attempting to perform albactomy
19:35
Speaker 8: or a lobotomy, but it would be an incredibly unpleasant
19:38
Speaker 8: and damaging thing to do to someone's brain. If you
19:42
Speaker 8: affect the frontal lobes, you will affect personality, potentially make
19:46
Speaker 8: somebody docile. If he's less accurate, you could essentially cause
19:50
Speaker 8: a stroke that could cause paralysis, speech problems. It really
19:54
Speaker 8: very much depends on which part of the brain is
19:57
Speaker 8: actually damaged.
19:59
Speaker 2: But of course that didn't work, and his victims died
20:02
Speaker 2: one after another.
20:04
Speaker 7: Hearing about that.
20:08
Speaker 2: Is the stuff of horror movies, and the fact that
20:11
Speaker 2: it was happening in a city where we were known
20:15
Speaker 2: for manufacturing and beer and a very good Midwestern work ethic,
20:22
Speaker 2: tight families.
20:24
Speaker 7: This isn't the kind of thing that happens here.
20:27
Speaker 1: In May nineteen ninety one, thirty one year old Jeffrey
20:31
Speaker 1: Dahmer was in his killing prime. He'd already murdered eleven
20:36
Speaker 1: men and had begun collecting bones and skulls from his
20:39
Speaker 1: victims and cannibalizing their organs. What would have been a
20:44
Speaker 1: nightmare for most was a fantasy for him, and he
20:48
Speaker 1: carefully went about his killings under the radar of the
20:51
Speaker 1: police and the people of Milwaukee.
20:54
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Dahmer had a job in a local chocolate factory,
20:57
Speaker 4: and I think for him it enabled him to make
21:00
Speaker 4: a facade of normality. He was just an average joe,
21:03
Speaker 4: a regular guy who went to work every day.
21:06
Speaker 2: I think he killed so many people without being quite
21:09
Speaker 2: because of the fact that he looked like everyone else.
21:12
Speaker 2: He did what successful serial killers do. He blended They
21:17
Speaker 2: blend in with society. Now, he was a Caucasian male
21:21
Speaker 2: living in in a predominantly African American neighborhood, but he
21:25
Speaker 2: didn't talk to anybody bother anybody. He was barely someone
21:30
Speaker 2: people noticed, barely noticed. He also was targeting people who
21:37
Speaker 2: he found out might not be missed.
21:40
Speaker 4: For most people, if they were to commit the type
21:43
Speaker 4: of acts that Jeffrey Darmer did, they would no way
21:46
Speaker 4: be able to function normally. But Jeffrey Darmer was not
21:49
Speaker 4: most people. He hasn't got the same level of repulsion
21:53
Speaker 4: and shock dead bodies or mutilated bodies that most of
21:57
Speaker 4: us have. It was just another aspect of his life.
22:00
Speaker 3: It was not known that we had a serial slayer
22:02
Speaker 3: loose in our city. We did not know because he
22:04
Speaker 3: was so cleverly disposing of the bodies. The families were
22:07
Speaker 3: reporting the sons were missing, but the police were not
22:10
Speaker 3: finding bodies. And not infrequently, young men, something happens in
22:13
Speaker 3: their life, they just lead these up and leave town.
22:15
Speaker 3: That happens enough that the police don't get worrid. If
22:18
Speaker 3: it was a woman, they'll immediately commit resources to investigate,
22:20
Speaker 3: but the young men they don't.
22:22
Speaker 1: But on May the twenty sixth, nineteen ninety one, Dahma
22:26
Speaker 1: came agonizingly close to capture after an encounter with a
22:30
Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy.
22:32
Speaker 2: Dahmer had taken Conrac synthism phone a young Asian male
22:38
Speaker 2: who found attractive. He met him in the mall, offered
22:40
Speaker 2: him money to go back to his apartment. He went,
22:44
Speaker 2: and he began to work the ritual. Dahmer would drug
22:49
Speaker 2: him and then he began the process of this crude lobotomy,
22:55
Speaker 2: and he had drilled a hole in this young man's head.
22:59
Speaker 2: He took a break, he ran out to get more beer.
23:02
Speaker 2: While he was gone, Conorrac ran out of the apartment.
23:05
Speaker 2: He was naked, he was completely dazed, and he was
23:09
Speaker 2: running up the alley next to the Dahmer's apartment building.
23:12
Speaker 7: A woman in another apartment building.
23:15
Speaker 2: Saw him running up the alley and said, there's a
23:20
Speaker 2: boy running up the alley.
23:21
Speaker 7: Something's going on. And then these women.
23:24
Speaker 5: Call the police, and then Dahmer appeared. And again this
23:27
Speaker 5: is another remarkable characteristic of these psychopaths is that they
23:34
Speaker 5: have an ability to maintain, you know, a kind of
23:37
Speaker 5: coolness under the most extraordinarily high pressure circumstances.
23:45
Speaker 7: So he walked up to the officers. Good evening, officers.
23:47
Speaker 2: He's very polite, he's sober, and he said, this is
23:52
Speaker 2: my boyfriend. He came to stay with me. We had
23:55
Speaker 2: a little bit too much to drink and he ran
23:57
Speaker 2: out of the house. Said how old is Dahmer said
24:01
Speaker 2: he's nineteen, and the officers said, okay, well, just to
24:06
Speaker 2: make sure, let's all walk back up to the apartment together.
24:11
Speaker 5: The cops went and looked around. They even picked into
24:13
Speaker 5: the bedroom where there was a decomposing corpse of one
24:16
Speaker 5: of Dahmer's previous victims. But you know, they took such
24:19
Speaker 5: a cursory look at it that they didn't even notice.
24:21
Speaker 1: It, Assuming the couple were having a lover's tiff. The
24:25
Speaker 1: two police officers left Knorak alone with Dahma in the
24:29
Speaker 1: apartment building, and in the early hours of the morning,
24:32
Speaker 1: he murdered the fourteen year old boy. An opportunity to
24:36
Speaker 1: catch the killer had been missed.
24:38
Speaker 4: I think that really speaks volumes about the attitudes of
24:42
Speaker 4: the police at the time, in terms of ethnic minorities,
24:45
Speaker 4: in terms of young people, in terms of the gay community,
24:48
Speaker 4: and that was another victim that could potentially have been saved.
24:53
Speaker 4: So there's this terrible thing going on behind closed doors
24:57
Speaker 4: and people just aren't seeing it.
24:58
Speaker 6: People aren't wanting to see it.
25:00
Speaker 4: Even the police are not joining up the dots and
25:03
Speaker 4: finding out what's really going on. So this is allowed
25:06
Speaker 4: to just bubble away and get worse.
25:09
Speaker 1: After evading capture, Dharma was free to continue.
25:13
Speaker 4: There was two sides really to Dharma's pleasure that he
25:16
Speaker 4: got from killing his victims. So he was a sadist
25:19
Speaker 4: who enjoys the pain and suffering of other people. And
25:23
Speaker 4: with sadis that that thrill ends when the victim dies.
25:26
Speaker 4: But Dharma was also something of a necrophiliac who was
25:29
Speaker 4: interested in having corpses around and doing things with those corpses,
25:34
Speaker 4: and that means that the thrill starts with death. So
25:37
Speaker 4: he has this continuous fulfillment going on, and he's always
25:40
Speaker 4: fully in control.
25:42
Speaker 6: And I think that's what's really at the root.
25:43
Speaker 4: Of Jeffrey Darmer, its power and its control, and it's
25:47
Speaker 4: the feeling that he has all this knowledge about what
25:49
Speaker 4: he's done and nobody else quite knows what he's up to.
25:53
Speaker 1: By July nineteen ninety one, Dama's desire to kill and
25:57
Speaker 1: become insatiable. Sixteen days he emerged four more men, bringing
26:03
Speaker 1: his total number of victims to seventeen. But Dahma's reign
26:08
Speaker 1: of tellor was about to come to an end. On
26:11
Speaker 1: July the twenty second, he met a man called Tracy Edwards.
26:15
Speaker 2: While they were together in the apartment, Dahmer threw a
26:20
Speaker 2: handcuff on him.
26:21
Speaker 7: This was now the beginning of his ritual.
26:24
Speaker 2: Dahmer had taken photographs of his victims in various stages
26:27
Speaker 2: of dismemberment polaroids, and those were sitting on the dresser
26:32
Speaker 2: inside the bedroom. They weren't sitting out in the main
26:35
Speaker 2: living room, but there was some speculation that Tracy Edwards
26:38
Speaker 2: had perhaps seen that, and he ran out of the
26:43
Speaker 2: apartment in his underwear, ran down the street and when he.
26:47
Speaker 7: Saw the police car.
26:49
Speaker 2: Tracy Edwards has said his intention was just to get
26:52
Speaker 2: the handcuff off, That's all he wanted. He stopped these
26:55
Speaker 2: cops to say, hey, can just get this.
26:56
Speaker 7: Off of me.
26:58
Speaker 2: So he stopped and the officers start talking to him
27:01
Speaker 2: about what he saw, and then they said, well we
27:04
Speaker 2: should probably check this out. Let's all go back to
27:08
Speaker 2: the apartment. Dahmer answered, and the minute he saw that
27:12
Speaker 2: it was the police. He tried to shut the door
27:14
Speaker 2: on them. The police pushed the door open a bit.
27:16
Speaker 2: They started struggling with him, and then finally he just
27:21
Speaker 2: gave him and that was when Dahmer was officially finished.
27:26
Speaker 2: He was finished killing, and he knew that he was finished.
27:30
Speaker 1: The police officers immediately arrested Dama after finding the remains
27:35
Speaker 1: of some of his victims in his apartment.
27:37
Speaker 3: They saw the body parts and then one of the
27:39
Speaker 3: officers that he heard a scream. Then he realized later
27:41
Speaker 3: he was the one who screamed when he saw the body,
27:43
Speaker 3: so they knew they were dealing with a very serious offense.
27:46
Speaker 3: Dahmer did not resist a little slight resistance, but Dahmer
27:48
Speaker 3: was taken into custody and the investigation was initiated.
27:52
Speaker 1: What followed was an incredible media circus on Dahma's doorstep,
27:56
Speaker 1: as unbelievable stories about what was being uncovered inside these
28:00
Speaker 1: apartments were revealed.
28:02
Speaker 2: It was so fantastical that you think people are making
28:07
Speaker 2: it up when they're telling you the details, but as
28:09
Speaker 2: it turned out, they weren't making it up.
28:11
Speaker 7: It was all of the.
28:13
Speaker 2: Atrocities that we heard about that it happened in that apartment,
28:16
Speaker 2: really did happen.
28:17
Speaker 3: The medical examiner who was called to the scene didn't
28:20
Speaker 3: know what was happening.
28:21
Speaker 7: Was so strange.
28:21
Speaker 3: There was a freezer, their bodies sparts in the freezer,
28:24
Speaker 3: called in a hasmat crew. Well, our television stations cover
28:28
Speaker 3: the police radio. When they hear that, they dispatch crews there.
28:31
Speaker 3: The first day was local television, second day national television.
28:35
Speaker 3: By the third day it was international television.
28:36
Speaker 2: They were able to show video of these items coming
28:42
Speaker 2: out of the front door of this apartment building. That's
28:44
Speaker 2: not usual at a crime scene. Saw a large blue
28:47
Speaker 2: barrel in which we know that Jeffrey Dahmer was trying
28:50
Speaker 2: to dissolve body parts. It had a refrigerator that was
28:54
Speaker 2: holding skulls and also it was holding body parts. So
28:59
Speaker 2: these are coming down the stairs and people were just
29:03
Speaker 2: incredulous to watch it. When I wrote the story for
29:07
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Journal that morning, and it was released in
29:11
Speaker 2: the paper about eight o'clock, I think in the morning.
29:15
Speaker 2: Normally we were an afternoon paper, but we went out
29:18
Speaker 2: early with it because it was such an incredible story.
29:21
Speaker 1: But no one quite knew the enormity of the crimes
29:24
Speaker 1: until Dahma confessed to detectives at the local police station.
29:28
Speaker 2: When I've spoken to the detectives that were working this case,
29:33
Speaker 2: they have said, this was not a great who done it?
29:37
Speaker 2: This would have better who done it if Jeffrey Dahmer
29:40
Speaker 2: hadn't confessed to everything.
29:42
Speaker 3: When Dahmer was arrested, there were already a number of
29:44
Speaker 3: bodies in his quarters. He gave full confessions to the
29:47
Speaker 3: police detailing his involvement in sixteen separate slayings. Most of
29:52
Speaker 3: the time, he did not know the name of the victims.
29:55
Speaker 2: When Dahmer remembered a crime that he might not have
29:59
Speaker 2: shared with the detects dives, he would have the jail
30:02
Speaker 2: call them, whether it was the middle of the night
30:04
Speaker 2: or the middle of the day, and say I remembered
30:07
Speaker 2: something else, Please come over.
30:09
Speaker 7: Dahmer had said.
30:10
Speaker 2: He wanted to make sure that he didn't forget anything
30:12
Speaker 2: because he wanted those families to have closure. I'm not
30:16
Speaker 2: sure about that. That maybe giving Jeffrey Dahmer more credit
30:21
Speaker 2: than he is deserved, but he did claim to want
30:26
Speaker 2: to try and remember so that all of those families
30:29
Speaker 2: would have closure.
30:31
Speaker 5: One of the interesting things about Dahmer that does differentiate
30:34
Speaker 5: him from other killers of his breed is that he
30:37
Speaker 5: did seem to be capable of a certain degree of
30:40
Speaker 5: remorse and certainly recognize the extent of his depravity.
30:45
Speaker 1: Although he confessed to killing sixteen people in the state
30:49
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, Damer was first charged with four counts of
30:53
Speaker 1: murder on the twenty fifth of July nineteen ninety one,
30:56
Speaker 1: and a further eleven counts were added in August. The
31:00
Speaker 1: following month, investigators in Ohio found teeth and bone fragments
31:05
Speaker 1: belonging to Stephen Hicks in the woods near Dama's family home.
31:09
Speaker 1: A preliminary hearing was set for January nineteen ninety two.
31:14
Speaker 1: His legal team were going to argue that the killings
31:16
Speaker 1: were the work of a madman.
31:18
Speaker 3: Years She wasn't going to be did he do it
31:20
Speaker 3: or arty? Issue was going to be was he sane
31:22
Speaker 3: or insane when he did it? And his hope was
31:24
Speaker 3: that at least in even one of the cases, he
31:25
Speaker 3: could induce the jury to believe that he was insane.
31:28
Speaker 3: Under those circumstances, he would be sentenced not to a prison,
31:31
Speaker 3: but to a metal health facility. People would say to me, Mike,
31:34
Speaker 3: this guy killed sixteen people. He was drinking their blood,
31:37
Speaker 3: eating parts of their body. He must have been crazy.
31:40
Speaker 3: It sounds like he's crazy to say that, but that's
31:43
Speaker 3: not what the insanity rule is.
31:44
Speaker 1: The city wanted justice. They wanted to see the man
31:48
Speaker 1: the press were calling the Milwaukee cannibal locked away in
31:52
Speaker 1: prison for the horrific crimes he had committed. The trial
31:57
Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Dahmer would be one of the biggest still
32:00
Speaker 1: the history of not just Wisconsin, but the entire USA.
32:05
Speaker 2: My reaction to it then was the same reaction I
32:08
Speaker 2: think that everybody who lived in Milwaukee had when they
32:13
Speaker 2: heard about the case.
32:14
Speaker 7: No, it can't be. This is Milwaukee. Those kinds of
32:18
Speaker 7: things don't happen here. This is the Midwest. This is
32:21
Speaker 7: a very nice place.
32:24
Speaker 1: The trial of Jeffrey Dahmer began on the thirtieth of
32:28
Speaker 1: January nineteen ninety two and had a front row seat
32:32
Speaker 1: the courtroom.
32:33
Speaker 2: Was an odd spectacle because court TV was still new
32:39
Speaker 2: in the game back then, and the idea that you
32:45
Speaker 2: would come to court and you'd be on television was
32:48
Speaker 2: still kind of new to people. That was the kind
32:52
Speaker 2: of media attention to a trial that Milwaukee hadn't seen
32:56
Speaker 2: in a very very long time, if ever can remember
33:00
Speaker 2: so clearly the first time Jeffrey Dahmer's initial appearance in court,
33:04
Speaker 2: when he walked in, I think the real fear that
33:08
Speaker 2: people had when they first saw Jeffrey Dahmer was that
33:11
Speaker 2: he looked like everybody else. He was a good looking
33:15
Speaker 2: young man, and he is not the person that you
33:20
Speaker 2: would look at and say, stay away from that guy.
33:23
Speaker 1: It would be up to Milwaukee DA Mike McCann to
33:26
Speaker 1: attempt to prove that Dama was saying and responsible for
33:30
Speaker 1: his actions.
33:31
Speaker 3: Yuelty wasn't going to be an issue, but we wanted
33:33
Speaker 3: the jury to know enough about the facts and so
33:36
Speaker 3: the defense to say, right, what really happened here, How
33:38
Speaker 3: atrocit was it, how planned was it, how was he behaving?
33:41
Speaker 3: What skills were involved? He couldn't control himself.
33:44
Speaker 2: It was a lot to take in because the testimony
33:49
Speaker 2: was so graphic. We all knew Mike McCann he was
33:54
Speaker 2: a religious man, and we'd seen him in we've seen
33:58
Speaker 2: him in court attorney that the kinds of things that
34:03
Speaker 2: he was reciting out of the criminal complaint and the
34:06
Speaker 2: confession were unheard of. These things were unheard of, and
34:11
Speaker 2: they happened right here in our city.
34:14
Speaker 9: He did it quietly.
34:16
Speaker 3: He concealed the bodies, cleverly, concealed, destroyed the bodies, planned
34:19
Speaker 3: it well, laid in the equipment, got the drugs that
34:22
Speaker 3: he used, knowing that he worked or thought he was insane.
34:24
Speaker 3: The way he conducted himself was in a way that
34:28
Speaker 3: it seemed that he was sane, and that's what we
34:30
Speaker 3: wanted to get across to the jury.
34:32
Speaker 1: Mike employed the help of psychiatry experts doctor Philip Resnick.
34:37
Speaker 9: The more bizarre the crimes, such as involving cannibalism, the
34:41
Speaker 9: more the la public wants to think that guy had
34:44
Speaker 9: to be out of his mind. But in looking at
34:47
Speaker 9: it from the actual strict definition of insanity, generally, the
34:53
Speaker 9: diseases of paraphilias like necrophilia, where someone has trouble controlling themselves,
35:00
Speaker 9: are not viewed for the most part as diseases which
35:04
Speaker 9: qualify for insanity because of the social implications. One of
35:10
Speaker 9: the points that I made as a consultant is, even
35:13
Speaker 9: if you have necrophilia, and even if you have trouble
35:18
Speaker 9: controlling your impulse, the majority of necrophiliacs will select a
35:23
Speaker 9: setting where they can accomplish this without homicide, so some
35:29
Speaker 9: become assistance in morgues or assistance in pathology labs where
35:35
Speaker 9: they may have access to dead victims. Others will actually
35:39
Speaker 9: disinentear bodies after they're buried so that one does not
35:44
Speaker 9: have to actually kill to exercise the necrophilia's impulse. And
35:50
Speaker 9: that's one of the reasons I felt that he didn't
35:52
Speaker 9: qualify for insanity.
35:54
Speaker 1: The trial was essentially a debate between specialist psychiatrists about
35:59
Speaker 1: the mental state of Dama, who sat watching the whole
36:02
Speaker 1: thing play out over two weeks.
36:05
Speaker 3: Namer was very common court when you talk of you
36:08
Speaker 3: assessing a person by what you see. No one studying
36:10
Speaker 3: him would believe he was insane. He was in kind,
36:13
Speaker 3: he was watching what was going on. He wasn't reacting
36:15
Speaker 3: in any negative way. He conducted himself in a very
36:19
Speaker 3: rational way, a very proper way.
36:21
Speaker 10: This was a case to tell the world that I
36:24
Speaker 10: did what I did not for reasons of hate. I
36:27
Speaker 10: hated no one I knew I was sick or evil
36:30
Speaker 10: or both. Now I believe I was sick.
36:33
Speaker 1: On February fifteenth, the jury had reached a verdict on
36:37
Speaker 1: Dama's sanity.
36:38
Speaker 9: Someone like Dahmer comes along who has never been in
36:41
Speaker 9: a psychiatric hospital and alleges insanity juries are going to
36:47
Speaker 9: be skeptical of it. And then when it's all in
36:50
Speaker 9: the form of his sexual drive rather than a traditional
36:55
Speaker 9: psychosis where someone's out of touch with reality and he's
36:59
Speaker 9: taking careful st elpse to cover his tracks, it's very
37:02
Speaker 9: difficult to succeed with insanity. With that type of case.
37:06
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Damer was ruled to be sane by the jury.
37:10
Speaker 1: On February seventeenth, nineteen ninety two. Judge Lawrence Graham sentenced
37:14
Speaker 1: him to life imprisonment for each of the fifteen counts
37:17
Speaker 1: against him.
37:18
Speaker 2: When the verdict was announced in court, there was a
37:21
Speaker 2: great shout from the gallery, especially from the victim's families,
37:27
Speaker 2: that cried, I.
37:28
Speaker 3: Was pleased in the sense happy. I'd not exuberant, but
37:31
Speaker 3: happy that this danger was removed from our community, that
37:34
Speaker 3: the jury had not been hoodwinked, that the jury realized
37:36
Speaker 3: this chap was not insane.
37:38
Speaker 1: The state of Wisconsin does not have the death penalty,
37:41
Speaker 1: but Dama would have to serve a minimum of nine
37:44
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six years. He was immediately sent to
37:47
Speaker 1: the Columbia Correctional Institute in Portage. Three months later, on
37:52
Speaker 1: the first of May nineteen ninety two, in Ohio, Dama
37:56
Speaker 1: was also found guilty of murdering Stephen Hicks in nineteen
37:59
Speaker 1: six seventy eight, had given yet another life sentence.
38:03
Speaker 2: Dahmer always said that he was compelled to kill, that
38:08
Speaker 2: they were urges. He said, I had urges that I
38:10
Speaker 2: could not control. He also said that even though he
38:15
Speaker 2: was in prison he was relieved that the killing was done,
38:21
Speaker 2: he still had the urges.
38:23
Speaker 7: They didn't go away.
38:25
Speaker 2: He was just in a place where he couldn't act
38:27
Speaker 2: on them.
38:28
Speaker 1: Locked away for the rest of his life, Dahma found
38:31
Speaker 1: comfort in the Bible, and by nineteen ninety four he
38:35
Speaker 1: decided to get baptized. The prison called on local minister
38:40
Speaker 1: Roy Ratcliffe.
38:41
Speaker 11: So I was quite surprised to be escorted to a
38:43
Speaker 11: little room and left alone. And then Jeff Camp comes
38:48
Speaker 11: to the room and he closed the door, and then
38:50
Speaker 11: there's he and I sitting together across the table, and
38:54
Speaker 11: I'm thinking for a moment, Wow, I'm in a room
38:56
Speaker 11: with a man who was killed three people. So yeah,
38:58
Speaker 11: that was a little bit discon but I was therefore
39:02
Speaker 11: a purpose and for a reason. So I wanted to
39:03
Speaker 11: find out what was going on and to see what
39:05
Speaker 11: I could do to help. So my fears were set aside,
39:09
Speaker 11: primarily because of my focus on what I was trying
39:11
Speaker 11: to do. Jeff was a normal guy, curteous, very respectful
39:15
Speaker 11: to me. When we shook hands, I noticed his hands
39:17
Speaker 11: were really small. Looking at his hands and thinking, wow,
39:21
Speaker 11: these are the hands that strangled people. These are the
39:23
Speaker 11: hands that murdered people, These are the hands that dismembered people.
39:26
Speaker 1: On May the tenth, nineteen ninety four, the same day
39:30
Speaker 1: that notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy was executed, Jeffrey
39:35
Speaker 1: Dama was baptized in a prison bathtub.
39:38
Speaker 11: Then the door opened and I walked into the room
39:40
Speaker 11: and jeff had already crawled into the tub, and the
39:43
Speaker 11: only thing that was above the water was just simply
39:45
Speaker 11: his head. And so I baptized you in the name
39:47
Speaker 11: of the Father, Son of the Holy Spirit, for the
39:49
Speaker 11: forgiveness your sins, and pushed his head down under and
39:52
Speaker 11: then we came back up. I said something I often
39:54
Speaker 11: say to people when I baptized him. I said, welcome
39:56
Speaker 11: to the family of God. He said, well, thank you
39:58
Speaker 11: very much.
40:00
Speaker 1: Just six months after his baptism. On November the twenty eighth,
40:04
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, Dahmer and another convicted murderer, Jesse Anderson,
40:09
Speaker 1: were attacked and killed by a fellow inmate.
40:13
Speaker 7: Christopher Scarver.
40:14
Speaker 2: Took a barbelle, went into the bathroom and beat both
40:19
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Dahmer and Jesse Anderson to death. There were a
40:22
Speaker 2: number of people who felt that Jeffrey Dahmer got exactly
40:26
Speaker 2: what he deserved. And I called his mother. She said, well,
40:29
Speaker 2: now everybody got what they want. The monster is dead.
40:33
Speaker 2: And then she said he was my son, He's my boy.
40:38
Speaker 11: It was a terrible, terrible death in that sense there,
40:41
Speaker 11: but for some people it was a relief. They were
40:43
Speaker 11: glad because all they could think about all the crimes
40:44
Speaker 11: they committed. They're not thinking about. Where I'm thinking about
40:47
Speaker 11: is here's a person who's trying to serve God as
40:49
Speaker 11: best as he can, and now his life is being
40:51
Speaker 11: taken from is I.
40:53
Speaker 5: Mean, some people see some sort of poetic symmetry in
40:56
Speaker 5: the fact that Dahmer's first murder was the one in
41:00
Speaker 5: which he bludgeoned the teenage hushaker Stephen Hicks to death
41:05
Speaker 5: with a barbelle and that he himself died in a
41:08
Speaker 5: very similar way.
41:11
Speaker 1: The apartment on North twenty fifth Street that housed Dama's
41:15
Speaker 1: macarb collection that victims remains and where twelve young men
41:19
Speaker 1: lost their lives, was demolished in November nineteen ninety two,
41:24
Speaker 1: but Dama's twisted legacy has been impossible to wipe out.
41:29
Speaker 1: He has become one of the most infamous serial killers
41:32
Speaker 1: in the world.
41:33
Speaker 5: I think of Dahmer as sort of like the flip
41:36
Speaker 5: side of somebody like Mozart. How do you account for
41:40
Speaker 5: somebody creating that kind of music. Ultimately, how do you
41:43
Speaker 5: account for somebody who is luring young men to his
41:47
Speaker 5: apartment in drilling holes in their skull and injecting brains
41:50
Speaker 5: with miuriatric acid to turn them into zombies. There's something
41:54
Speaker 5: there ultimately inexplicable.
41:56
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Dahmer committed some of the most evil acts that
42:00
Speaker 2: I have ever written about or heard about were seen
42:04
Speaker 2: on a television show because they were real. I don't
42:08
Speaker 2: know if he was sane or insane, because that's not
42:13
Speaker 2: my training to figure that out, but I can absolutely
42:17
Speaker 2: say that he did.
42:20
Speaker 7: Some of the most evil acts known to man.
42:24
Speaker 1: Dama's crimes would not feel out of place in a
42:27
Speaker 1: perverse horror movie. He was a man who killed to
42:30
Speaker 1: satisfy his unhealthy sexual perversions, keeping parts of his victims
42:35
Speaker 1: skeletons as trophies, and eating their organs. Jeffrey Dahmer truly
42:41
Speaker 1: is the stuff of nightmares and unquestionably one of the
42:45
Speaker 1: world's most evil killers.
