On May 21, 1960, Jeffrey Dahmer, an American serial killer and sex offender, was born. Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer murdered 17 men in a very heinous manner. His method of operation included rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism.

According to most accounts, Dahmer had a normal upbringing, but as he grew older, he became distant and uncommunicative. As he approached adolescence, he began to show little interest in hobbies or social interaction, preferring instead to busy himself with dissecting animal carcasses and binge drinking.

Despite the fact that he continued to drink throughout high school, he graduated in 1978. Only three weeks later, the 18-year-old carried out his first murder. Jeffrey was left alone in the family home due to his parents' ongoing divorce that summer. He took advantage of the situation to act on the evil thoughts that had been forming in his head.

He picked up Steven Hicks, a hitchhiker, and offered to drive him back to his father's place for a beer. When Hicks decided to flee, Dahmer struck him in the back of the head with a ten-pound dumbbell. Dahmer then dissected, dissolved, pulverized, and scattered Hicks' now-invisible remains about his backyard, eventually admitting that he killed him merely because he wanted him to stay. He would wait nine years before committing another murder.

That fall, Dahmer enrolled in college but dropped out due to his alcoholism. His father then persuaded him to join the army, where he served in Germany as a combat medic from 1979 to 1981. He never managed to kick the habit, and in the spring of that year, he was discharged and returned to Ohio.

His father transferred him to live with his grandmother in West Allis, Wisconsin, after his drinking caused problems. He began frequenting gay bathhouses in 1985, where he would drug men and rape them while they were asleep. Despite being arrested twice for indecent exposure in 1982 and 1986, he was merely sentenced to probation and not charged with the rapes.

In September of 1987, he killed his second victim, Steven Tuomi. Dahmer picked him up from a pub and drove him to a hotel room, where he found Tuomi's beaten body the next morning. He later claimed that he had no recollection of killing Tuomi, meaning that he had done so on some sort of irrational urge. 

Following Tuomi, the killings became more infrequent, with two victims in 1988, one in 1989, and four in 1990. He continued to entice unsuspecting guys from bars or recruit prostitutes, drugging, rapping, and strangling them.

By the summer of 1991, Dahmer was killing around one victim every week. He grew obsessed with the concept of turning his victims into "zombies" who could serve as sexual partners who were both young and submissive. Drilling holes in their skulls and pumping corrosive acid or boiling water into their brains were among the methods he employed.

Tracy Edwards was lured into Dahmer's home on July 22, 1991, with the promise of cash in exchange for his company. Dahmer forced Edwards into the bedroom with a butcher knife while he was inside. Edwards was able to break free and flee into the streets, where he flagged down a police cruiser during the scuffle.

Edwards informed the cops about the knife in Dahmer's bedroom when they arrived at his residence. When the officers entered the bedroom, they discovered photographs of dead people and mangled limbs, allowing them to eventually apprehend Dahmer.

Dahmer was imprisoned in Portage, Wisconsin's Columbia Correctional Institution. Dahmer claimed regret for his deeds and expressed a desire to die while in prison. He also read the Bible and called himself a born-again Christian, indicating that he was prepared for his final judgment. 

Fellow inmates attacked him twice, with the first attempt at slicing his neck open leaving him with superficial wounds. On November 28, 1994, he was assaulted a second time by an inmate while cleaning one of the prison showers. Dahmer was discovered alive but died of serious head damage on the way to the hospital.
