• 1:11
  Speaker 1: these recordings are between Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal serial killer,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and his father, Lionel. The calls were made when Jeffrey
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Dahmer was behind bars in a prison cell. Now, as
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know, inmates can call out and there is a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: constant recording going every x seconds or minutes saying you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: are taking a call from a correctional institute. But this

  Speaker 1: is the father, Lionel, desperately trying to make sense of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the things his son has done, and Jeffrey Dahmer is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: speaking candidly and openly to probably the only person in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the world he trusts, his father. This may truly be
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the first real glimpse we get as to who is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer now practically speaking as a trial lawyer. Do
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I care who Jeffrey Dahmer is? No, I don't care.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I don't care what his thoughts and dreams are. No.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But I have to admit I am curious. You know
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: how when you go to the zoo and you see
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the snakes, the poisonous snakes behind a glass case. Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I look at them, but I don't want to get
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in the case with them. I'm curious. I'm curious, And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: this documentary answers so many questions, again possibly the first
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: real glimpse we get of Jeffrey Dahmer. The series features
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: unprecedented firsthand testimonies from Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood friends. This guy
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: actually had friends. Yes, former roommates, Yes, he had former
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: roommates that he did not kill and eat, neighbors, law
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: enforcement agents that work the case, and, in my mind,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: most important, the people that were horribly affected by Dahmer's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: crimes as a crime victim myself. I know it changes
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: your life forever. Can you imagine? Can you imagine your
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: son being sex assaulted, raped, murdered, and eaten by Jeffrey Dahmer.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know, for gosh, well over a decade Dahmer raped,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: murdered and cannibalized young men throughout Wisconsin and Ohio, seventeen
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that we know of. And Dahmer is asked by his
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: father what his most disturbing and early all of the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: fantasies were. You know, very often we opine that serial
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: killers are really born. In other words, they exhibit stereotypical
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: textbook behavior such as being cruel to other children, being
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: cruel to animals, torturing, killing animals, dissecting animals. It goes
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: all the way back to dissecting bugs before they get
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to animals. What do we know about Jeffrey Dahmer. The
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: docuseries has truly unprecedented first hand accounts from people in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Dahmer's life, going all the way back to his childhood.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It also includes exclusive Dahmer family home movies. It's really
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: hard to imagine Jeffrey Dahmer caught as a little boy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: going down a snow covered hell and a little sled
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: or in front of the Christmas tree. I almost don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: even want to think about that, but it's real. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: documentary includes the family home movies and a brand new
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: insight into one of the world's most notorious, most infamous killers.

  Speaker 1: favorite crime stories, and just so much more, including my
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: son Jeffrey. The Dahmer Family takes some of the facts
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that many jurors would probably turn away from. Of course,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Dahmer has seventeen known victims, all male, between the ages
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of fourteen and thirty three. Can you imagine that a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old little boy being raped, murdered, and cannibalized
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: by Jeffrey Dahmer. He often used drug laced alcohol to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: incapacitate his victims before killing them and then having sex
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with their bodies. That's not a fact that's going to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: help you sleep easy tonight. The murders were extremely brutal.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Dahmer once drilled a hole and one teen victim, Aaron
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Lindsay's head, and poured hydrochloric acid into his head. One
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: victim escaped that we know of, Tracy Edwards, and led
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: police to Dahmer's apartment, where they found evidence of multiple murders.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: It wasn't hard once they found him, because Jeff Dahmer
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: actually kept body parts, bones, polaroid photos off his victims
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: as what we call souvenirs. Like you and I, I'm
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a big scrapbooker, I keep photo albums. He kept souvenirs
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of his murder victims. Of course, jeff Dahmer was sentenced
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to fifteen consecutive life sentences until uh oh, he was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: beaten dead by a guy named Scarver. As I recall
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at the Columbia Correctional Institute, my son, Jeffrey, my son, Jeffrey.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: The Dahmer family takes only on Fox Nation, Nancy Gray
