After 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone escaped from Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment on May 27, 1991, the police received multiple phone calls from concerned neighbors who believed he was a minor (true) who was being abused (true). The police escorted the boy back to Dahmer's apartment, where he was killed 30 minutes later. Dahmer went on to kill four more men before being caught on July 22, 1991.
