Podcast appearances and mentions of steven hicks

I've always struggled with living up to preconceived notions of how a fitness professional should live. I just didn't try as hard as people would expect. I've always tried to convince people that health and fitness is shockingly easy, and now there's an evolutionary theory that supports this idea. How using the habits of our genetic history can make your fitness plan way easier.

Alright people, we made it. Six months, a few breaks, some uncontrollable laughter, some philosophy, many unhinged takes, a little bit of diarrhea and we're here, the last Ask Us Anything. After this we're never answering another God D*** question. Ever. We discuss Do you wish you could change your own interests? Methods of information ingestion Taking books off their pedestal bit Intellectual influences Veganism (why Ben is, why Vaden isn't) Anti-rational memes Fricken Andrew Huberman again Stoicism Are e-fuels the best of the best or the worst of the worst? Questions (Andrew) Any suggested methods of reading Popper (or others) and getting the most out of it? I'm not from a philosophy background, and although I get a lot out of the books, I think there's probably ways of reading them (notes etc?) where I could invest the same time and get more return. (Andrew) Any other books you'd say added to your personal philosophical development as DD, KP have? Who and why? (Alex) Are you aware of general types of insidious anti-rational memes which are hard to recognise as such? Any ideas on how we can go about recognising them in our own thinking? (I do realise that perhaps no general method exists, but still, if you have any thoughts on this...) (Lorcan) What do you think about efuels?

Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer DocumentaryJeffrey Dahmer, an American serial killer and sex offender, was born on May 21, 1960. Between the years of 1978 and 1991, Dahmer murdered 17 males in truly horrific fashion. Rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism were all parts of his modus operandi.By most accounts Dahmer had a normal childhood; however he became withdrawn and uncommunicative as he got older. He began showing little to no interest in hobbies or social interaction as he entered adolescence, turning instead to examining animal carcasses and heavy drinking for entertainment. His drinking continued throughout high school but did not stop him from graduating in 1978. It was just three weeks later that the 18-year-old committed his first murder. Due to his parents' unfolding divorce that summer, Jeffrey was left in the family home alone. He seized the opportunity to act on the dark thoughts that had been growing in his mind. He picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and offered to take him back to his father's house to drink beer. But when Hicks decided to leave, Dahmer hit him in the back of the head with a 10 lb. dumbbell. Dahmer then dissected, dissolved, pulverized, and scattered the now imperceptible remains throughout his back yard, and later admitted to killing him simply because he wanted Hicks to stay. Nine years would pass before he killed again.Dahmer attended college that fall but dropped out due to his alcoholism. After that his father forced him to enlist in the army, where he served as a combat medic in Germany from 1979 to 1981. However, he never kicked the habit and was discharged that spring, moving back home to Ohio. After his drinking continued to cause problems, his father sent him to live with his grandmother in West Allis, Wisconsin. By 1985 he was frequenting gay bathhouses, where he would drug men and rape them as they lay unconscious. Although he was arrested twice for incidents of indecent exposure in 1982 and 1986, he only faced probation and was not charged for the rapes.Steven Tuomi was his second victim, killed in September of 1987. Dahmer picked him up from a bar and took him back to a hotel room, where he woke up the next morning to Tuomi's beaten dead body. He later stated that he had no memory of actually murdering Tuomi, implying that he had committed the crime on some sort of blacked out impulse. The killings occurred sporadically after Tuomi, with two victims in 1988, one in 1989, and four in 1990. He continued to lure unsuspecting men from bars or solicited prostitutes, whom he then drugged, raped, and strangled. At this point though, Dahmer also began carrying out particularly disturbing acts with their corpses, continuing to use the bodies for intercourse, taking photographs of the dismemberment process, preserving with scientific precision his victims' skulls and genitals for display, and even retaining parts for consumption.During this period, Dahmer was arrested for an incident at his job at the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory, where he drugged and sexually fondled a 13-year-old boy. For this he was given a sentence of five years' probation, one year at a work release camp, and was required to register as a sex offender. He was released two months early from the work program and subsequently moved into a Milwaukee apartment in May of 1990. There, despite regular appointments with his probation officer, he would remain free to commit four murders that year and eight more in 1991.Dahmer began killing around one person each week by the summer of 1991. He became infatuated with the idea that he could turn his victims into “zombies” to act as youthful and submissive sexual partners. He used many different techniques, such as drilling holes into their skull and injecting hydrochloric acid or boiling water into their brains. Soon, neighbors began to complain about strange noises and awful smells coming from Dahmer's apartment. On one occasion, a lobotomized victim left unattended even made it out onto the street to ask several bystanders for help. When Dahmer returned, however, he successfully convinced the police that the irrational young man was simply his extremely intoxicated boyfriend. The officers failed to run a background check that would have revealed Dahmer's sex offender status, allowing him to narrowly escape his fate for a little while longer.On July 22, 1991, Dahmer lured Tracy Edwards into his home with the promise of cash in exchange for his company. While inside, Edwards was then forced into the bedroom by Dahmer with a butcher knife. During the struggle, Edwards was able to get free and escape out into the streets where he flagged down a police car. When the police arrived at Dahmer's apartment, Edwards alerted them to the knife that was in the bedroom. Upon entering the bedroom, the officers found the pictures of dead bodies and dismembered limbs that allowed them to finally place Dahmer under arrest. Further investigation of the home led them to find a severed head in the refrigerator, three more severed heads throughout the apartment, multiple photographs of the victims, and more human remains in his refrigerator. A total of seven skulls were found in his apartment as well as a human heart in the freezer. An altar was also constructed with candles and human skulls in his closet. After being taken into custody, Dahmer confessed and began divulging the gruesome details of his crimes to the authorities.Dahmer was indicted on 15 murder charges and the trial began on January 30, 1992. Even though the evidence against him was overwhelming, Dahmer pled insanity as his defense due to the nature of his incredibly disturbing and uncontrollable impulses. Following two weeks of trial, the court declared him sane and guilty on 15 counts of murder. He was sentenced to 15 life terms, for a total of 957 years in prison. In May of the same year, he entered a guilty plea for the murder of his first victim, Stephen Hicks, and received an additional life sentence.Dahmer served his time at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin. During his time in prison, Dahmer expressed remorse for his actions and wished for his own death. He also read the Bible and declared himself a born-again Christian, ready for his final judgment. He was attacked twice by fellow inmates, with the first attempt to slice his neck open leaving him with only superficial wounds. However, he was attacked a second time on November 28, 1994, by an inmate as they cleaned one of the prison showers. Dahmer was found still alive, but died on the way to the hospital from severe head trauma.Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Documentary sex offender horrific Rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, cannibalism murder netflix killing killer true crime

However, he never kicked the habit and was discharged that spring, moving back home to Ohio. After his drinking continued to cause problems, his father sent him to live with his grandmother in West Allis, Wisconsin. By 1985 he was frequenting gay bathhouses, where he would drug men and rape them as they lay unconscious. Although he was arrested twice for incidents of indecent exposure in 1982 and 1986, he only faced probation and was not charged for the rapes.Steven Tuomi was his second victim, killed in September of 1987. Dahmer picked him up from a bar and took him back to a hotel room, where he woke up the next morning to Tuomi's beaten dead body. He later stated that he had no memory of actually murdering Tuomi, implying that he had committed the crime on some sort of blacked out impulse. The killings occurred sporadically after Tuomi, with two victims in 1988, one in 1989, and four in 1990. He continued to lure unsuspecting men from bars or solicited prostitutes, whom he then drugged, raped, and strangled. At this point though, Dahmer also began carrying out particularly disturbing acts with their corpses, continuing to use the bodies for intercourse, taking photographs of the dismemberment process, preserving with scientific precision his victims' skulls and genitals for display, and even retaining parts for consumption.During this period, Dahmer was arrested for an incident at his job at the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory, where he drugged and sexually fondled a 13-year-old boy. For this he was given a sentence of five years' probation, one year at a work release camp, and was required to register as a sex offender. He was released two months early from the work program and subsequently moved into a Milwaukee apartment in May of 1990. There, despite regular appointments with his probation officer, he would remain free to commit four murders that year and eight more in 1991.Dahmer began killing around one person each week by the summer of 1991. He became infatuated with the idea that he could turn his victims into “zombies” to act as youthful and submissive sexual partners. He used many different techniques, such as drilling holes into their skull and injecting hydrochloric acid or boiling water into their brains. Soon, neighbors began to complain about strange noises and awful smells coming from Dahmer's apartment. On one occasion, a lobotomized victim left unattended even made it out onto the street to ask several bystanders for help. When Dahmer returned, however, he successfully convinced the police that the irrational young man was simply his extremely intoxicated boyfriend. The officers failed to run a background check that would have revealed Dahmer's sex offender status, allowing him to narrowly escape his fate for a little while longer.On July 22, 1991, Dahmer lured Tracy Edwards into his home with the promise of cash in exchange for his company. While inside, Edwards was then forced into the bedroom by Dahmer with a butcher knife. During the struggle, Edwards was able to get free and escape out into the streets where he flagged down a police car. When the police arrived at Dahmer's apartment, Edwards alerted them to the knife that was in the bedroom. Upon entering the bedroom, the officers found the pictures of dead bodies and dismembered limbs that allowed them to finally place Dahmer under arrest. Further investigation of the home led them to find a severed head in the refrigerator, three more severed heads throughout the apartment, multiple photographs of the victims, and more human remains in his refrigerator. A total of seven skulls were found in his apartment as well as a human heart in the freezer. An altar was also constructed with candles and human skulls in his closet. After being taken into custody, Dahmer confessed and began divulging the gruesome details of his crimes to the authorities.Dahmer was indicted on 15 murder charges and the trial began on January 30, 1992. Even though the evidence against him was overwhelming, Dahmer pled insanity as his defense due to the nature of his incredibly disturbing and uncontrollable impulses. Following two weeks of trial, the court declared him sane and guilty on 15 counts of murder. He was sentenced to 15 life terms, for a total of 957 years in prison. In May of the same year, he entered a guilty plea for the murder of his first victim, Stephen Hicks, and received an additional life sentence.Dahmer served his time at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin. During his time in prison, Dahmer expressed remorse for his actions and wished for his own death. He also read the Bible and declared himself a born-again Christian, ready for his final judgment. He was attacked twice by fellow inmates, with the first attempt to slice his neck open leaving him with only superficial wounds. However, he was attacked a second time on November 28, 1994, by an inmate as they cleaned one of the prison showers. Dahmer was found still alive, but died on the way to the hospital from severe head trauma.Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Documentary sex offender horrific Rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, cannibalism murder netflixSerial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Documentary sex offender horrific Rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, cannibalism murder netflix killing killer true crime horror podcast

Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer DocumentaryJeffrey Dahmer, an American serial killer and sex offender, was born on May 21, 1960. Between the years of 1978 and 1991, Dahmer murdered 17 males in truly horrific fashion. Rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism were all parts of his modus operandi.By most accounts Dahmer had a normal childhood; however he became withdrawn and uncommunicative as he got older. He began showing little to no interest in hobbies or social interaction as he entered adolescence, turning instead to examining animal carcasses and heavy drinking for entertainment. His drinking continued throughout high school but did not stop him from graduating in 1978. It was just three weeks later that the 18-year-old committed his first murder. Due to his parents' unfolding divorce that summer, Jeffrey was left in the family home alone. He seized the opportunity to act on the dark thoughts that had been growing in his mind. He picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and offered to take him back to his father's house to drink beer. But when Hicks decided to leave, Dahmer hit him in the back of the head with a 10 lb. dumbbell. Dahmer then dissected, dissolved, pulverized, and scattered the now imperceptible remains throughout his back yard, and later admitted to killing him simply because he wanted Hicks to stay. Nine years would pass before he killed again.Dahmer attended college that fall but dropped out due to his alcoholism. After that his father forced him to enlist in the army, where he served as a combat medic in Germany from 1979 to 1981. However, he never kicked the habit and was discharged that spring, moving back home to Ohio.

Some people have a genetic mutation in a gene called CCR5 that seems to bestow immunity to a form of HIV. This is the mutation which controversial Chinese scientist Jianqui He tried to bestow upon two baby girls last year when he edited the genes in embryos and then implanted them in a mother. A paper in the journal Nature Medicine this week uses data from the UK Biobank to look at the long term health patterns associated with this gene variant. It suggests that whilst the HIV-1 immunity may be considered a positive, having two copies of the gene also comes with a cost. It seems that it may also lower our immunity to other diseases and shows in the database as a 21% increase in mortality overall. Author Rasmus Nielsen talks about how important this gene is to evolutionary biologists trying to find signs of natural selection in humans. Adam discusses the ethical implications of the research with Dr Helen O’Neill. The Surrey Earthquake Swarm Over the last year several small earthquakes have been detected in one part of Surrey. Many have surmised that these may be caused by oil drilling taking place nearby, but it might be simpler than that. So the British Geological Survey has been monitoring the region. Roland Pease joined Imperial College seismologist Steven Hicks out in the countryside inspecting his detectors to find out more. Mama’s Last Hug Frans de Waal, one of the world’s leading primatologists talks to Adam about his latest book, and the difficulties we as human observers have with studying emotion in animals. Prof de Waal coins a neologism ‘anthropodenialism’ to describe the belief that emotions in animals are incommensurable with human experience. He thinks most mammals, and certainly primates, experience pretty much the same emotions as we do, for similar reasons. Feelings, however, are a different matter. Producer: Alex Mansfield

Let's rejoin him a year later, shall we? On May 14th, 1990 Dahmer moves out of his grandmother's house where he had had to move back into it, because of the molestation charge and having just gotten out of jail and all that jazz. He moves into apartment 213 at 924 north 25th street and takes any momentos he'd kept from his previous victims, including the mummified head and genitals of Anthony Sears. Within one week of moving into his new apartment, he had already killed his sixth victim. Raymond Smith was a 32 year old sex worker who Dahmer lured to his apartment with the promise of $50 in exchange for sex at the apartment. He gave Smith a drink laced with seven sleeping pills and manually strangled him. The following day, Dahmer purchased a Polaroid camera with which he took several pictures of Smith's body in suggestive positions before dismembering him in the bathroom. This all becomes a very major part of his M.O. and, with very few exceptions, this is what he tends to do with the rest of his victims from here on out. He boils the legs and arms and also the pelvis in a steel kettle with Soilex, which allows him to then rinse the bones off in his sink. He dissolves the remainder of Smith's skeleton with the exception the skull in a container filled with acid. Dahmer later spray paints Smith's skull, and he places it alongside the skull of Anthony Sears upon a black towel inside a metal filing cabinet. About a week later - and it's on or about May 27th - Dahmer lures a young man to his apartment but he fucks up. Um, you know how he spikes the drink, right? He'll go and he'll be like, "oh, I'm going to make us a drink." And then he sneaks the sleeping pills into the one drink. Well, just this one time he forgets which drink is which and drinks the laced drink himself. He wakes up the next day and his intended victim stole a bunch of his close $300 and a watch. He doesn't report this to police, natch. You know, when you have like a severed head hadn't genitals, you don't report this. On May 29th, though, he does share that he'd been robbed with his probation officer because, remember, he's also still on probation, you know, for molesting a kid. In June of 1990 he brings a 27 year old acquaintance to the apartment named Edward Smith. He drugs and strangles Smith and instead of just immediately acidifying the skeleton or going through his normal process, he actually puts Smith's skeleton in his freezer for several months because he thought maybe it wouldn't retain as much moisture, which like from a scientific background, bruh, no, this is not going to work. Obviously it didn't work and then he acidified the body like later on. He'd destroyed the skull on accident because he placed it in the oven to dry and it exploded. It exploded! Later, he told police that he felt 'rotten' about Smith's murder since he didn't get to keep anything from the body. Less than three months later he meets a 22 year old Chicago native named Ernest Miller on the corner of north 27th street. Miller agrees to company Dahmer to his apartment for $50 and then is like, oh, you want to listen to my heart and stomach? Okay. Dahmer decides, 'mm, since I'm here I might as well try to suck your dick.' And Miller says, 'you know what, that's going to cost you extra.' So that's when Dahmer goes and grabs the drinks. He only had two sleeping pills to put in Miller's drink though. So he is out for a very short amount of time and when he wakes up suddenly in the middle of Dahmer doing stuff to him, Dahmer kills him by slashing his carotid artery and he does this with the same knife he uses to dissect the victims bodies. So it's a knife he really has taken time to like sharpen and make sure it's in the best possible form, which to be honest, is kind of a godsend in this type of a situation because I'd rather have something sharp nick my carotid and die quickly then try to have someone use like a very dull knife to do that. He bleeds to death within minutes, but not before Dahmer grabs his Polaroid camera and is like taking pictures of Miller dying and bleeding out. He puts Miller's body in the bathtub for dismemberment after he does the sex to it. While he is dismembering the rest of the body, he takes time to like kiss Miller's face and talk to him, which everything I read was really um, happy to point that out with this victim. But I'm pretty sure if you're going to do it to one victim, you probably do it to most victims. And let's be real. How many of us don't talk to random stuff when we're doing things? Like I talk to random stuff all the time, like, 'hey, cherry coke, how you doing? I'm going to put you in my mouth.' Um, which I am, but like, you know, I cannot be the only other person who does this and also isn't a serial killer. That's all I'm saying. He wraps Miller's heart, Miller's biceps, and parts of his legs in plastic bags and puts them in the fridge so he can eat them later. He boils the rest of the flesh and organs, and they turned into this jelly like substance because again he's using that Soilex and he wanted to keep the skeleton. So he rinses it off, puts the bones in this light bleach solution for 24 hours and then allows them to dry like, like you would with dishes, right. Um, and this is all stuff that his father had taught him to do - by the way. The severed head was initially placed in the refrigerator before being stripped of flesh and then painted and coated with an enamel, which is a smart move because at least it won't get as brittle as the other ones that he's had to discard at this point. He's learning. Three weeks after murdering Ernest Miller, on September 24th, Dahmer meets a 22 year old man named David. Thomas at the Grand Avenue Mall. It's a mall, but it's like weird because it's set up between several buildings and then there's like skywalks and like I, I was there like a decade ago going through the mall and being like, what the fuck is this place? It's weird. Anyway. It's not like Ye Grand Mall, okay? It's, it's a weird mall. Anyway, Dahmer persuades Thomas to come to the apartment for a few drinks and again with his MO of picking up people who are down on their luck or people who are sex workers. He offers money for nude photographs. Dahmer would later state that after giving Thomas a drink full of sedatives, he felt bad because he realized all of a sudden he wasn't attracted to Thomas, but he was still afraid to allow him to wake up in case he would have been angry about being drugged. So he decides to go through with strangling and dismembering. Since he wasn't attracted to Thomas, though, he intentionally doesn't keep body parts. He does take photographs throughout the dismemberment process and keeps them and honestly that's part of what led them to being able to identify this victim as being David Thomas. So, as creepy as it is that he took photographs - he didn't remember people's names, he probably didn't know many names - and these photographs at least allowed us to find the victim's families and let them know what had happened. I can't believe I'm saying I'm kind of grateful for these photographs. Jesus Christ. Um, okay. He doesn't kill anyone for like five months. He tries to bring a couple of guys back to his apartment during that time period. But like, you know, it just wasn't happening. So he takes all of that creative energy, you know, that you use when you do the same thing over and over again to dead bodies and starts planning the altar he wants in his apartment. And this is really interesting because it's got like different sets set ups. So he wanted this black shower curtain behind the altar, um, and was going to put that in front of a window. And then, um, I'll put a link in the show notes because this is wild. So on either side he's got skeletons that have been painted. And then there's a black table where he has the skulls that he's saved that have been painted. And then there's like one of those funky lights that has like several different bulb things coming down behind that in front of the window. And then he has like a little plaque above the window and a chair set up in front of the altar so that, you know, he could, uh, sit there and look at it. It's so creepy. He is also known to regularly complain of anxiety and depression to his probation officer throughout this time. And you know, talks a lot about being gay, being alone, not having a lot of money. And this is when he also starts talking about feeling suicidal. He was really careful if you think about it to select victims on the fringe of society. They were often itinerant or criminal or even criminal by association. They were children at times or even slightly older people, not too old, but still. And often he went after, men who were not white. Um, his first two victims were white. But I think the bulk of the rest of them are Black, Hispanic, Native American/Indigenous, and Asian. Like he picks people who are not white on a regular basis. And this actually led, once he's captured, to a lot of racial tension in Milwaukee, which is consistently battling with St Louis to be one the most segregated cities in the United States. Like whatever one is number one, the other one is either number two or three like it. They are consistently in the top three. Um, and just because it's 2019 doesn't mean that's changed a ton. I gotta tell Ya. In February of 1991, he observes a 17 year old named Curtis Straughter standing at a bus stop near Marquette University. He brings Straughter back to his apartment again with the idea of giving him money in exchange for nude photos. And he's also like, 'Hey, I'll pay you to do the sex.' Dahmer drugs and and strangles Straughter with a leather strap. Then dismembers him and keeps his skull, hands, and genitals. The head is put in the freezer along with several other heads at this point. On April 7th, he meets 19 year old Errol Lindsey who iss walking to get a key cut. Now Lindsey was straight, but Dahmer somehow gets him back to his apartment, drugs him, and this is where he starts his major experiment to try to zombify his victims because remember, he doesn't necessarily want them dead - and he later says this in interviews - but he wants them to not leave him. And what's the best way to get someone to not leave is to have complete control of them. And if somebody is in a Zombie like state, you can do that a lot easier then, uh, you can with just keeping them bound, especially in a safe way too. So, after being drugged, uh, Lindsey winds up with a hole in his skull - Dahmer drills a hole in and he pours hydrochloric acid right into Lindsay's brain. Lindsay wakes up, um, and says, 'I have a headache. What time is it?' He then collapses on the floor and, um, just keeps holding his head. At this point, Dahmer drugs him again and strangles him because he's like, well, this didn't work. He decapitates Lindsey, keeps his skull, flays the body, and actually places his skin in this solution of cold water and salt AKA like a brine for several weeks because he wanted to keep it. But of course that doesn't work. Um, so he tosses it eventually. At this point his apartment smells like awfulness and the other residents in the Oxford apartment building are continually like repeatedly complaining to management about foul smells, about falling objects, about hearing a chainsaw, etc. The manager Sopa Princewill contacts Dahmer in response to these complaints several times. Although Dahmer initially excuses the odors because he's like, 'aw, my freezer keeps breaking. And the, you know, the stuff inside got spoiled.' 'Oh my tropical fish just died. So they're kind of smelly and I haven't had a chance to like clean everything out,' et cetera. But we'll come back to his neighbors cause it will get wild. Anthony Hughes is a friend of Dahmer's and he's Deaf and mute. Um, so he can't hear and he can't speak. He communicates by signing with his hands and also by lip reading for people who don't know how to sign back to him. They are hanging out somewhere else when Dahmer's like, 'hey, you want to hang out at my house?' So they go back to the house, he drugs Hughes, drills a hole in a skull, and injects acid like he previously tried. But this time - and I'm not sure if it's because of the volume or the location of where he drilled - um, the injection winds up killing Hughes and Dahmer gets really sad about that. Like, he didn't want to kill his friend, he just wanted to keep him around and um, he gets really depressed. Like, I don't know... If you don't want to kill your friend, maybe don't do stuff that could kill your friend? That's all I'm saying. That's why I don't text and drive with friends in my car - only on my own. Um, he leaves Anthony's body to rot on his bedroom floor before dissolving it in acid several days later. And actually his body comes into play in this extremely close call I'm about to talk about. On the afternoon of May 26th in 1991, he meets a 14 year old kid on Wisconsin Avenue. The kid's name is Konerak and I cannot pronounce the last name because I am so white. Um, I'm going to try [failes miserably several times] Sinthasomphone. Um, I'm just going to keep calling him Konerak because I don't want to mess up his name several times. Um, he approaches Konerak and is like, 'Hey, I'll give you money for pictures.' And the kid's like, 'okay.' Um, actually the kid's really reluctant at first and then comes with him. He poses for two pictures in his underwear before Dahmer drugs him. Um, while he's drugged, he performs oral sex on this kid. And it's important to note this kid is actually the younger brother of the boy Dahmer molested in 1988 and was convicted of molesting after the kid had to go get his stomach pumped, um, from being drugged. And you know, the kid didn't know that Dahmer was that guy. He didn't remember. This is a couple years later. Um, but Dahmer also doesn't recognize kind of the familial resemblance. Um, it's not until quite a long ways later that they figure this out. But while Konerak is drugged, Dahmer drills a hole in his skull and injects hydrochloric acid right into the frontal lobe - o the front of your head. Before Konerak falls unconscious, Dahmer leads him into the bedroom where Anthony Hughes' body is sitting on the floor naked. And Dahmer says that he believed Konerak saw the body, but Konerak didn't react to it, which is probably because of a mixture of being really sedated and then also, I don't know, having acid in your brain. Soon, Konerak passes out. Dahmer drinks several beers while sitting there next to him and then is pretty sure that the experiment has failed again. He is really upset. So, now that he's out of alcohol, he decides he's going to go drink at a bar and then buy alcohol and come back and he's gone for a few hours. Konerak manages to not only wake up but to escape despite being injured and being incredibly out of it. Um, this kid was a bad ass. Dahmer's neighbor Sandra Smith calls police to report that there's an Asian boy running naked in the street and it's the early hours of the next day when Dahmer comes back to his apartment and he is greeted by Konerak sitting naked on the corner of 25th and state speaking in Lao - cause he he's Laotian - with three distressed, uh, young ish women standing near him. He approaches the trio and explains that Konerak - he uses a fake name by the way - was his friend and tries to get him back into the apartment, but the women are like, 'oh no, no, no, motherfucker. We called 911.' So, 2 officers show up - John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish. Dahmer is like really relaxed and he knows he's got to put on a show. So he tells the officers that Konerak who was 14 was his 19 year old boyfriend who had had too much to drink after they fought. And that he just acts like this a lot when he's drunk. The three women were like, 'Excuse the fuck out of me. Do you see that this kid is like actively bleeding from his ass and that he doesn't want to go anywhere with Dahmer? And like, this kid has been hurt.' The officers tell her to butt out, shut the hell up, and not to interfere in this "domestic situation." So the officers have a towel with them, they wrap Konerak up in it and bring him back to Dahmer's apartment. They do try to verify the claim that Dahmer and Konerak lovers. So Dahmer shows them like these pictures he'd just taken of the kid along with his neatly folded clothing - because if he was a victim, why would he fold his clothing, et cetera. The officers later report having noted a strange smell that kind of smelled like shit, um, inside the apartment. And clearly it was coming from Hughes' decomposing body. Dahmer stated that to investigate this, one of the officer's peeked his head around in the bedroom, but he clearly didn't take good look because he missed the body on the floor. The officers leave and tell Dahmer to take good care of Konerak. The thing is, had these officers done their due diligence and at least run a background check, um, like run Dahmer through their system? They would have seen that he was a convicted child molester and on probation. Um, and probably would have investigated this more deeply, especially since this kid is clearly a kid. Like I know it might be hard to tell whether someone's 14 or 19, but I think when you add the layer on that he's a convicted sex offender, that that gets less difficult. The cops leave and Dahmer's like, 'okay, time for round two.' He injects hydrochloric acid right into the frontal lobe again and um, kills Konerak. He takes the next day off of work to devote the entire day to dismembering the bodies of both Konerak and Hughes, and he keeps their skulls. Within a few days, there's an article that appears in the local paper about Konerak being missing and one of the women who had tried to protect him that night calls the police to tell them that like this was that kid. The police don't follow up with her at all. So we've had two spots right here where women - and probably honestly Black women - are saying like, 'Hey, this is this guy. This is what he's doing. Hello.' And police failed to investigate throughout this, this like giant murder period, right? Dahmer is able to maintain his job at Ambrosia Chocolate Factory. His friends and family weren't really suspicious even when they came to his house cause he would take care to really clean up before he let people come over. If he knew his family was coming, you know, he'd clean up, et cetera. The only thing that his father was suspicious of is, you know, Dahmer hasn't revealed that he's gay. By now, Lionel is like, 'yeah he gay - probably,' but they don't talk about it because toxic masculinity. To quell the neighbors, Dahmer by now has had a 57 gallon drum put in his apartment that he's filled with hydrochloric acid. So this way he's able to like dissolve bodies right away - very quickly - and has multiple ways of doing so, meaning less smell at this point. He also knows he needs to change things up a bit because that was really close call with Konerak. So he decides to take a Greyhound bus - cause he doesn't drive - to Chicago, which is about, well on a greyhound bus it's probably closer to three hours of a trip. You can make it in like an hour and a half depending on how fast you're going. That's all I'll say. On June 30th he meets a 20 year old named Matt Turner at the bus station. Turner is like, 'okay, I'll come with you to Milwaukee' because Dahmer has convinced him that he is a professional photographer and is going to have a photo shoot. At Dahmer's apartment, he drugs, strangles, and dismembers Turner, placing his head and internal organs in separate plastic bags in the freezer. Everything else was put into a vat of acid. Turner winds up not ever being reported missing. Five days later on July 5th, he lures a 23 year old - mm, I've seen his name either as Jeremy or Jeremiah. I'm going to go with Jeremiah - Jeremiah Weinberger from a Chicago bar to his apartment to spend the weekend with him. Before accepting the offer, Jeremiah asked a friend who he was at the bar with if the friend thought Dahmer was a safe person and that this would be okay. And the friend was like, 'okay, yeah, no, he seems really nice' - like after having a conversation. The two actually wind up having a really nice couple of days, um, until Weinberger's like, 'hey, I really got to go home. Like I have to go to work and shit.' And of course that's the part Dahmer hates. So he drugs Weinberger after requesting one last drink together. He twice injects boiling water into Weinberger's skull. The first time it didn't seem to work at all and Weinberger wakes up seemingly okay. Dahmer drugs him a second time and does the second injection that sends him into a coma and he actually dies 2 days later. During this kind of waiting period. Dahmer's like, 'okay, I'll go to work. Like, it's fine.' Even after that close call, which I think is brazen. Um, and he comes home after a shift to discover Weinberger dead. The body is dismembered and dissolved an acid, but the head is added to the growing collection in the freezer. The friend who greenlit Weinberger's visit to Dahmer's place later commit suicide because he feels hella guilty. I know what you're thinking right now. Uh, with all of these heads and body parts in the freezer, Dahmer was running outta room, right? He was. Like, honestly, he had no room for real food in his fridge or his freezer. Um, that really didn't stop him. On July 15th, he meets 24 year old Oliver Lacy at the corner of 27th and Kilburn. Lacy was an aspiring body builder and had just moved to Milwaukee from Illinois to live with his girlfriend and their kid. And Dahmer was like, 'Ooh, I like the muscle boys.' So, again, the proposition of posing nude and Lacy agrees. He goes back to Dahmer's apartment and they do some sexy times before Dahmer drugs him. Dahmer really wanted to spend as much time as possible with Lacy while Lacy was alive. So he tries to render Lacy unconscious with chloroform, which does not work. He has to strangle Lacy. And then, um, he has sex with the corpse before dismembering him. He placed Lacy's head and heart in the refrigerator and his skeleton in the freezer. And he had asked for like a days absence during all of this from work, which was granted, but then he was suspended because he kept missing work, right? And then his performance was getting shit. And on the 19th, he actually gets word that he's fired. He doesn't get to come to work anymore and he's distraught, he's pissed. And he goes to bar and approaches 25 year old father of three, Joseph Bradehoft. Like many other victims, he promised cash in exchange for nude photos. Bradehoft was strangled and left laying on Dahmer's bed covered with a sheet for two days. And on the 21st he removes the sheets to find Bradehoft's head covered in maggots. It's gross. He decapitates the body then cleans the head and places it in the refrigerator - which like, brah, that just had maggots - like, why? He later acidifies Bradehoft's torso along with those of the other two victims he killed within the previous month - so along with Lacy's body and Weinberg's. So that's kind of the end of his lucky streak. On July 22nd, 1991, he approaches three men with an offer of $100 to accompany him to his apartment to pose nude for photographs again. Um, but he throws in like, 'Hey, I've got a bunch of beer we can drink and we could just hang out.' Out of the trio, one of them agrees to come to the apartment and that's 32 year old Tracy Edwards. The other two agree to come party later, but Dahmer gives them the wrong address so they don't interrupt his fun. Upon entering Dahmer's apartment, Edwards notices it smells and also sees the acid on the floor. And he asks about it and Dahmer's like, 'Oh yeah, like I do Xyz for work. I use those to clean bricks.' Dahmer keeps pressuring Edwards to get naked and drink a spiked drink and he quickly changes from the sweet talker Dahmer from the bar to very pushy and angry. Edward's decides he probably should leave, and Dahmer distracts him and put a handcuff on his wrist. By the time Edwards is like, 'wait, what's happening?' Um, Dahmer brings Edwards to the bedroom to pose for nude pictures. While inside the bedroom, Edwards notes that there's nude male posters on the wall and that there is a video tape of The Exorcist III playing. This was Dahmer's favorite movie at the time and especially during those last couple of weeks - he got increasingly obsessed with it for some reason, nobody knows. Edwards also notes that 57 gallon drum in the corner that smells. Dahmer brandishes a knife and informs Edwards he intends to take nude photos of him. So Edwards unbuttons his shirt and says he would allow him to do that as long as he takes off the handcuffs and puts the knife away. In response to the promise, Dahmer simply just turns his attention towards the TV. Edwards sees Dahmer rocking back and forth and chanting before turning his attention back to Edwards. He places his head on Edwards' chest, listens to his heartbeat, and then with the knife pressed up towards his neck says that he intends to eat Edwards' heart. Edwards repeatedly says, 'you know, I'm your friend. I'm not going to go away. I promise. Like you don't have to worry, you don't need to attack me.' In his head, Edwards had already decided he was going to have to jump from a window or bolt through the unlocked front door at the next opportunity he had. Edwards says he needs to go to the bathroom and then he asks if they could sit with a beer in the living room because that's where the air conditioning unit was. And Dahmer agrees. So the pair walk to the living room. As soon as Edwards is done in the potty, inside the living room, Edwards waits until he observes that Dahmer has a momentary lapse of concentration. And then he asks to use the bathroom again. So Edwards gets up from the couch, saw that Dahmer was not holding onto the handcuffs, and he turns & punches Dahmer in the face - which knocked him off balance - and Edwards bolts for the front door. By about 1130 - and this is on July 22nd - he has flagged down 2 Milwaukee police officers at the corner of North 25th Street. Um, it took a while for them to understand this was not a domestic thing, but they did notice that he had handcuffs on his wrist. Um, and Edwards explains to them that a "freak," that's what he said, had placed the handcuffs on him and asked if the police could remove them. The police officers try but their keys failed to fit that brand. So Edwards, um, agrees to show the officers where this apartment was that he just spent, you know, several hours and they go. Dahmer invites the three people inside and acknowledges that yeah, he did put handcuffs on Edwards, but he says nothing about why - not a thing. And normally he's so quick with those explanations. At this point, Edwards also tells the officers Dahmer had brandished a very large knife and that this had happened in the bedroom. Dahmer says nothing about that. And he tells one of the officers that the key to the handcuffs was in his bedside dresser in the bedroom. So that officer goes to enter the bedroom. Dahmer tries to kind of block him to get the key himself. And the second officer tells him to back the fuck off. In the bedroom, [Officer] Muller notices that there is indeed a large knife beneath the bed. He also sees an open drawer which, upon closer inspection, contains tons of Polaroid pictures... Not only of naked dudes, but also of, like, the dismemberment process. He notes that the decor in the photos is the same as the apartment that they are in right now. He walks in the living room and shows them to his partner Robert Rauth and says, uh, these are real. When Dahmer sees that Muller's holding several of the Polaroids, he starts fisticuffs with the officers to try to resist arrest. They quickly overpower him, cuff his hands behind his back, and call a second squad car for backup. At this point, Muller is, um, you know, looking around, doing more investigating and opens the refrigerator to reveal the freshly severed head of a black man sitting on the bottom shelf. He's later recalls that he heard someone screaming before realizing that it was him. Like he was screaming himself. Dahmer is pinned on the floor by Rauth and he turns his head towards the officers and mutters the words "for what I did, I should be dead." Uh, yeah. Well, Edwards is deemed a hero. The publicity also is a negative thing for him. It helps the state of Mississippi catch up with him. They had a warrant out for his arrest due to sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl. Um, at least allegedly. He's arrested and charged with a crime, but I can't find anything about the outcome. I tried. By 2011, he is back in Milwaukee. He is homeless and he gets into a fight with two other homeless men, one of whom falls off of a bridge that they are on and drowns. Edwards winds up with time in prison and probation for, um, like aiding and abetting because - Well, one of the things that I saw said the guy just fell off. The other thing that I saw said the other guy pushed him off and then Edwards stayed quiet. And so that's why he got charged. I don't know. I don't know. But that shit's gone down. Back to Dahmer in 1991. A more detailed search at the apartment conducted by the Criminal Investigation Bureau reveals a total of four severed heads in Dahmer's kitchen. There are seven skulls - some painted, some bleached - in his bedroom and inside a closet. They discover collected blood drippings upon a tray at the bottom of Dahmer's fridge because apparently motherfucker does not clean that shit out. They also find 2 human hearts, part of an arm muscle, and those are all wrapped inside plastic bags on the shelves. In Dahmer's freezer, they discover an entire torso - plus a bag of human organs and flesh is stuck to the ice at the bottom of the freezer. [humorous wretching noises] They also discovered two skeletons, a pair of severed hands, 2 severed and preserved penises, a mummified scalp, and in the 57 gallon drum, three further dismembered torsos dissolving in the acidic solution. Um, there winds up being a total of 74 Polaroid photos that detailed dismemberment and sexual stuff. The chief medical examiner later states that it was more like dismantling someone's museum than an actual crime scene. Beginning in the early hours of July 23rd, Dahmer is questioned by detectives Patrick Kennedy and Patrick Murphy as to the murders he committed and the evidence found at his apartment. Over the following two weeks, the detectives conduct numerous interviews with Dahmer which, when combine,d wind up equaling to about 60 hours of face to face time with this motherfucker. He had waived his right to have a lawyer present and said he wanted to confess because he had "created this horror and it only makes sense. I do everything to put an end to it." He readily admits to having murdered 16 men in Wisconsin since 1987 and Steven Hicks back in Ohio in 1978. The detectives, uh, wind up being floored and disgusted because Dahmer's so matter of fact about all of this. He readily admits to performing necrophilia with several of his victims' bodies including performing sexual acts with their viscera as he dismembers their bodies in the bathtub. Now, um, what this means I have sadly learned is that he, you know... In the process of dismemberment, he cuts a hole, say like in the dude's belly button. And especially if the body is still a little warm, your body retains the most warmth in your core. I mean, you can tell if you go outside when it's cold, like your arms get cold, your legs get cold, but your core usually stays warmer because it has to cause you have like your heart and shit. Okay. So again, he, let's say he cuts a dude in the belly button and the body's kind of warm and that's a hole for things to go in... Yeah, it's gross. Uh, it's so gross. Mm. He noted that a lot of blood pooled inside his victims chests after death. So he usually would remove their internal organs first and then he'd suspend the torso. So all the blood drained into the bathroom. He then would dice any organs he didn't want to keep and then pull flesh off the body. Bones that he wanted to dispose of we're pulverized or, um, acidified with Soliex, and bleach solutions were used to aid in the preservation of skeletons and skulls that he wanted keep. He confessed to having consumed hearts, livers, biceps, and portions of thighs of several victims that he'd killed within the last year describing the increase in his rate of killings in the two months prior to his arrest. He's stated he'd been completely swept along and added. "It was an incessant and never ending desire to be with someone at whatever cost. Someone good looking, really nice looking. It just filled my thoughts all day long." This is, uh, I don't know why this is so wild to me. I mean, I do because it's a wild case, but it's, it feels so disturbing. When asked why he had preserved seven skulls and the entire skeletons of two victims, he shared about his private altar that he wanted to make. The display of skulls was to be adorned at each side with the complete skeletons of Ernest Miller and Oliver Lacy. The 4 severed heads in the kitchen we're going to be removed to all flesh and used on the altar and he still needed one more victim to complete the skull number that he wanted on this altar. Incense sticks we're going to be placed at the end - each end of this table above which he was going to put a large blue lamp with extending blue globe lights. It those lights that are like an octopus thing, right? So you've got the stand and then there's several different arms with the, with these blue globe lights. And this is, again, all to be placed in front of a window that had been covered with a black opaque shower curtain. And then he was going to sit in front of it in a black leather chair. In a November 18th, 1991 interview, they asked who the altar was dedicated to and he said "myself. It's a place I could feel at home." He further described it as kind of a place for meditation where he felt he could draw power from, and he felt that if they had arrested him six months later, that they would have already seen the altar - that it would be complete which, at the rate he was going, I could see it. Um, I don't know if the whole thing would be complete, but he had at least have all the components he wanted. He also - it's interesting - he explained that things he does to the bodies like preserving certain parts, taking souvenirs in the form of body parts, et cetera. Um, the photos, whatever. All of that was a way of remembering. And this is, this part's a quote, "remembering their appearance, their physical beauty. I also wanted to keep - if I couldn't keep them here with me whole, at least I felt I could keep their skeletons." On July 25th, 1991, he is charged with four counts of murder and by August 22nd, he is charged with a further 11 counts in the state of Wisconsin. Again, brings the grand total up to 15. on September 14th, investigators in Ohio have like, by this time they have gone back to his childhood home and explored the woods right there and found a shit ton of bone fragments. They formally identify two mplars and a Vertebra with x ray records of Steven Hicks and he's charged by authorities in Ohio with Steven's murder. He winds up not being charged with the attempted murder of Tracy Edwards or with the murder of Steven Tuomi. Now for Tuomi, it was because the Milwaukee County district attorney only wanted to bring charges where there could be no reasonable doubt. And since Dahmer didn't actually have a memory of killing Tuomi, um, and there was like no physical evidence of it, they didn't feel like they had enough to proceed - And that including that within this larger, um, number of charges could actually hinder the ability for him to be charged successfully and like convicted. At a scheduled preliminary hearing on January 13th, 1992 he pleads guilty but insane to 15 counts of murder. His trial begins on January 30th, 1992 - the day my sister was born. I spent the day like in the hospital holding her while she slept after she was born. While she was getting pushed out, like watching The Jungle Book. Um, I dunno, for me, it was a great day. He was tried in Milwaukee for those 15 counts before Judge Laurence Gram. By pleading guilty and on the 13th, he had waived his rights to that initial trial to establish guilt, um, something that is at least required by Wisconsin law. The issue debated by opposing attorneys then is whether or not he was sane. The prosecution says that any disorders he did have clearly did not, um, deprive him of the ability to appreciate how wrong his actions were - and/or I guess that they wouldn't have deprived him of the ability to control his impulses. And the defense were like, "Nah." I mean, basically their experts argued thought he was insane due to his necrophilic drive. And one of their experts, Dr Fred Berlin, testifies that Dahmer's unable to conform his conduct at the time he committed crimes because he was suffering from necrophilia, which is also known as paraphilia. Dr. Judith Becker, who is a professor of psychiatry and psychology, was their second witness, who also, you know, comes at them with that diagnosis. And then forensic psychiatrist, Dr Karl Walstrom not only diagnosis Dahmer with that, but throws in borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, alcohol dependence, and a psychotic disorder. All of that is a lot. But I also want us to step back and take a look at - are there people with BPD, borderline personality disorder that don't kill people? Oh yeah. Are there people who have schizophrenia or any similar disorder and don't kill people? Like all of them. Um, what about people who are dependent on alcohol? Oh, good amount of them don't kill people unless they're driving. I just want us to take a look at that because, yes, you could have those things, but those things do not drive someone to kill. Having a mental illness, having a chronic illness, having a disability, those things do not make it more likely for you to commit crimes. In fact, they actually make it more likely for you to be a victim of crimes. Um, and depending on your diagnosis, that can be anywhere from up to like two times more likely, all the way up to like 10 times more likely then, you know, the average mentally abled person. So I just wanna throw that out there. There will be links in the show notes for ya'll to educate yourself further on that if that's something you're into. This is the social justice corner for the week. Having a chronic illness, disability or mental health issue does not make you a murderer. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk. Okay. Back to this, right. The prosecution is like, "no, he's not insane." Um, one of their experts, forensic psychiatrists, Dr Philip Resnick testifies that, yeah, Dahmer likes to do the sex to dead people, but it's not a primary condition because he actually prefers live sexual partners - which is why he was trying to zombify people, right? He doesn't want them dead. He just wants him to do exactly what he wants them to do. He wants control. And so it's not true necrophilia. Another one of their experts, Dr Fred Fosdel says that he believes Dahmer was without mental disease or defect of the time he committed these murders. He says Dahmer is calculating and cunning, able to differentiate between right and wrong, and definitely able to control his own actions. He does believe necrophilia is something Dahmer deals with, but also says he's not like a sadist. He's not necessarily, um, you know, going out with this need to harm people. Um, it's essentially derived from - I'm on a wiki spiral. It's derived from the Marquis de Sade. So sadists are people who derive pleasure if they, or someone else is undergoing pain. And it can actually be a part of personality disorders, which I mean, again, we're going to take a look at and say, hmm, does it make it, does it make you a terrible person? If you have a personality disorder? No. Does it mean you're going to do bad things? No. Anyway, um, the final witness for the prosecution is forensic psychiatrist Park Dietz, and um, he begins his testimony on February 12th. He says, the Dahmer's completely sane. Um, because you know, he's gone to great lengths to be alone with his victims. He's gone to great lengths to have no witnesses. There's ample evidence that he was really prepared. These crimes were not impulsive, um, and all of that. Right? So he believes, too, that Dahmer's alcohol dependence before committing murder is something that's significant. And he says, if he had a compulsion to kill, he would not have to drink alcohol. He had to drink alcohol to overcome his inhibition to do the crime, which he would rather not do. I think that's really important. He also notes the Dahmer strongly identifies with evil and corrupt characters from The Exorcist III - which we already know he's obsessed with - and also Return of the Jedi. He also really identified with the power that these evil corrupt characters had. He saw himself on a similar level. Dahmer would occasionally like wash his favorite scenes from these movies before he went out and looked for a victim and really took power from them, which is creepy. It's creepy. Don't turn my Star Wars into your creepy stuff. I know this was before me, but don't do it - well, not before me, like before I was super obsessed with Star Wars. Given the fact that the majority of Dahmer's victims were African American. Um, there were, like I mentioned, some big racial tensions. Um, it got to the point where we were having a number of, um, you know, racial justice leaders coming in to lead marches, give talks, et cetera. Strict security precautions were taken around the trial. So there was an eight foot barrier of bulletproof glass between Dahmer and other people. Um, one of the things that also pissed off people was there was only one Black person on the jury, which like, I don't know, I'm sorry, but if a lot of this, a lot of what this person has done is negatively affected the Black community locally, you should have more than one Black person on the jury. Also like one Black person on a jury in Milwaukee is not, um, it does not represent a jury of your peers. Like I'm just going to be honest. Like it's just like in everywhere else. You wouldn't just have one Black person on a jury. It's, it makes me mad. Anyway. Um, and then another thing to note is that Lionel Dahmer, Jeffrey's Dad and his second wife, um, attended the trial throughout. Two court appointed mental health professionals both independently testifyed - forensic scientist George Palermo and clinical psychologist Samuel Friedman. Palermo thinks that the murders were result of pent up aggression the Dahmer had within himself. He wanted to kill these men cause he thought they were attractive. And so like he was trying to kill what he hated in himself and also thinks that Dahmer's a sexual sadist who has antisocial personality disorder but is sane. It's amazing how many different personality disorders they're going to try to diagnose Dahmer with - amazing. Um, Friedman testifies that it was more of a longing for companionship that caused him to kill. He says Dahmer's not psychotic, speaks kindly of Dahmer. Um, talks about how he's amiable, pleasant to be with. Nice, funny, handsome, (I don't think so) charming, et cetera. He diagnoses Dahmer with a personality disorder not otherwise specified, featuring borderline, obsessive-compulsive, and sadistic traits. I will say out of all of the diagnoses, um, that one may feel like it fits the most. Um, I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a mental health professional, but I do think that it is important to note when a personality disorder or any other, you know, mental illness has certain traits. So maybe it's just that like, I like how it's laid out. I don't know. I don't know these things. It just feels somehow a better fit than some of the others. Perhaps it also includes because it includes the obsessive compulsive trait. I don't know. Anyway, the trial lasted two weeks. On February 14th, both lawyers give their closing arguments. They speak for like two hours. The defense attorney Gerald Boyle goes first and keeps referring to the mental health professionals - just about everyone said he had some sort of mental health issue. And, um, one of the big sticking points, and it's been quoted in a lot of different things, is that he says that Dahmer's compulsive killings had been a result of "a sickness he discovered, not chose." He keeps painting Dahmer as desperately lonely, profoundly sick, out of control. Um, and you know, I can see where that could sway some people on the jury. After that, Michael Mccann delivers his closing argument for the prosecution. He describes Dahmer as sane, in full control. He simply strove to to avoid detection. He argued that that first murder in Milwaukee - again because this is for all the Milwaukee/Wisconsin crimes - that it was committed hostility and anger and resentment and frustration and hatred and all these big negative feelings and that each victim "died merely to afford Dahmer a period of sexual pleasure." He further argued that by pleading guilty but insane to the charges, Dahmer was trying to avoid accountability or responsibility for his actions. The next day, February 15th, the court reconvenes to hear the verdict. Dahmer was ruled to be sane - not suffering from a mental disorder at the time of each of these murders - although in each count, two of the 12 jurors signified their dissent. On the first two counts, Dom Dahmer was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 10 years with the remaining 13 carrying a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment plus 70 years. The death penalty was not an option because, we in the great state of Wisconsin had that abolished in 1853. Dahmer addressed the court later on and he said, Your Honor, it is over now. This has never been a case of trying to get free. I didn't ever want freedom. Frankly, I wanted death for myself. This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did not for reasons of hate - I hated no one. I knew I was sick of evil or both - now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness and now I have some peace... I take all the blame for what I did... I should have stayed with God,” he said. “I tried and I failed, and created a holocaust." [audibly cringing] We're going to get back to that statement in a second. I just want to finish this part. In addition to expressing remorse for victims and their families, he expressed remorse for causing two policemen to lose their jobs - the policemen that failed to rescue Konerak. He said, "I hope and pray that they get their jobs back because I know they did their best and I just plain fooled them." In both of these statements we see his cockiness, right? "I've created a holocaust." Holocaust is such a big grandiose genocidal act, which is not what he did. And all of these poor cops, I just fooled them. It's not their fault, I'm just that good. Even in this statement, he is reasserting his control of these situations and reasserting the fact that he is better than everyone else in that room. And honestly he's probably doing it with a boner. Let's be honest. People like this thrive and get thrills out of having power over other people. I mean, it's what they do, right? Of course, the statement really wasn't consoling and definitely wasn't convincing. There were a number of powerful impact statements from family members that were read. And, um, so far I've only found one video that puts together a lot of snippets of, um, some of those statements, but I'll put that link to that video in the show notes. Um, there's a really, it's really important I think, to read them, to remember that this is not just like, Ooh, creepy story, but look, this case affected so many more lives than just - 'just' - these 17 people that Jeffrey killed and then his own family, right? It's these people's families, these people's friends. It's Weinberger's friend who commits suicide, right? Because of saying that Dahmer seemed like he was okay. Um, all of these different people struggling with the actions of this man. One of the most impactful victim statements is at the very end of that video Um, so please watch it because I think that's important. Upon hearing of Dahmer's sentencing, his father and his stepmother request to be allowed a 10 minute private meeting with him before he's transferred to the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage to begin his sentence. The request is granted and they exchange hugs, um, and well wishes before Dahmer is escorted to begin his sentence. Three months after that conviction, he's extradited to Ohio to be tried for the murder of Steven Hicks. It's really just a formality at this point because, again, he has confessed. So the court hearing lasts just 45 minutes. He again pleads guilty and he's sentenced to a 16th term of life imprisonment on May 1st, 1992. After that, he has transferred back to the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin. Um, Portage is in again, Columbia County - it's the Columbia correctional facility, right? It is technically part of the Madison metropolitan area, but to be honest, I don't know that I would consider it that. Um, it is really... I mean, I guess? It's north of Madison and just to the east of Wisconsin Dells, so it makes sense to lump it in with Madison, but it's about a 45 minute drive. Like, it is not necessarily close, but I guess that's Wisconsin for ya, right? Hooray! For the first year of his incarceration, Dahmer is placed in solitary confinement. They were worried about his safety should he come into contact with fellow inmates. And we're talking like some of the worst people are in this prison. Right? You've got other serial killers, you've got other, um, rapists, other molesters, and they all absolutely despise this man. I think there's something to be said with that. I don't know what, but... While Dahmer is isolated, he does have a television and access to books, so he's probably blasting like Exorcist III and reading all the Exorcist novels while he's holed up in his cell for a year. After that - and with his consent - he is transferred to a less secure unit after a year. Um, and then he is assigned like a two hour daily work detail, cleaning the toilets. He was actually really happy to get out of solitary because he felt his intrusive, disturbing thoughts were way more harmful than anything anyone else could do to him. He also didn't give a fuck if he lived or died. He had regular phone calls with his family. His father actually visited a lot, making the 11 hour drive from his home in Ohio. He really wanted to understand why Jeffrey committed these crimes, um. To that end, you know, he writes a book, he does a lot of interviews with Jeffrey. He tries to work to figure out the puzzle pieces that, you know, what, what was that last piece that slid into place that caused Jeffrey to really go from very excited, exuberant kid he'd been before that hernia surgery in his youth, right, to where he is now. Shortly after completing his lengthy confessions in 1991 he [Dahmer} had requested that he be given a Bible. And from then on he really devoted himself to being a Christian and you know, use the phrase 'born again.' And his father also like urged him to read a bunch of creationist bullshit. His father - Um, there is an interview I watched earlier, I'm sure it's in the links, but um, with Stone Phillips, and Stone Phillips asks Lionel what um, Lionel would have done had Jeffrey come out as gay, you know, without killing everyone. And Lionel said that he was - and this is paraphrasing, right? - he basically would have made him read the Bible and like try to do something to 'fix him' AKA probably send him off to conversion therapy camp. Which is terrifying. And if you don't know about conversion therapy camps, y'all - whoooo - I'm going to put a link in the shownotes - a couple lins for you to checkout. Um, one of which is a great episode of the podcast True Crime Obsessed (which I'm obsessed with). Um, I think that's the one called Jesus Camp. I mean, whatever one I put in the show notes is it, but if you've listened, you probably know which one I'm talking about. In May, 1994 Dahmer is baptized in the prison whirlpool by Roy Ratcliffe, who is a minister in the Church of Christ and a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University. He visits Dahmer on a weekly basis until Dahmer dies. And they regularly discuss things like death and whether or not Dahmer was sinning against God by continuing to live. And that's Dahmer bringing this up. in July, 1994, a fellow inmate Osvaldo Durruthy attempts to slash Dahmer's throat with a razor embedded in a toothbrush. Um, and it was right after Dahmer was coming back from Roy's weekly church service in the prison chapel. Dahmer gets, you know, some superficial wounds but doesn't wind up seriously hurt. They had a conversation and Dahmer's family said, you know, he'd been ready to die already and was ready to accept whatever punishments he might endure in prison. His mom, um, also retained regular contact with him at least over the phone, um, in contrast to like his dad and step mom coming to visit every so often. But prior to, um, Dahmer's arrest, he hadn't seen his mom since Christmas of 1983. Um, but now at this point he's talking to her on a weekly basis over the phone. And whenever she would express concerns about his wellbeing, he would say, 'you know, um, don't worry. Whatever happens, it'll be fine.' And this one's a direct quote: "It doesn't matter, Mom. I don't care if something happens to me." In a 1994 interview with Stone Philips - Okay, so this is the one I was just watching. It was on Dateline - Dahmer had stated that "If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway." So before he'd become, you know, Super Goddy, right? He didn't think there was any higher power and so he didn't think it mattered what his actions were. This is essentially what he's saying there. So now that he's born again, he realizes the error of his ways and all that good shit. Um, and supposedly wouldn't do this again. Supposedly. On the morning of November 28th, 1994 Dahmer left his cell to conduct his assigned work detail in the toilets. I just, I like the idea of Dahmer having to work in the shitter. Oh, I like it so much. Um, accompanying him were 2 fellow inmates, Jesse Anderson and Christopher Scarver. The trio wound up being left unsupervised in the prison gym, like shower, toilet area for approximately 20 minutes. And, at 8:10 AM, Dahmer is discovered on the floor of the bathrooms, suffering from extreme head and facial wounds. He had been severely bludgeoned in the head and face with a metal bar. His head had also been repeatedly struck against the wall - shit. Although he was still alive and then and then was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital, he died within an hour. Anderson had also been beaten with the same instrument and died two days later from his wounds. Scarver who had already been serving a life sentence for murder committed in 1990, um, comes clean. He tells authorities he attacked Dahmer first with the metal bar as Dahmer was cleaning a staff locker room before attacking Anderson as Anderson cleaned an inmate locker room. Um, they were in, you know, kind of separate areas, which is weird to me that they were still left on supervised - at all. According to Scarver, Dahmer did not yell or make any noise when he was attacked. He had been adamant at the time he had not planned the attacks in advance. He did later divulge to investigators that he concealed the 20 inch iron bar to kill both men in his clothing shortly before the killings, though. There were questions about how involved the prison staff might have been in these murders. Surprise. Scarver hadn't been on toilet detail until literally that morning. He completely loathed Dahmer. He carried around a newspaper clipping about Dahmer's crimes and just completely hated him. Additionally, it's highly irregular for guards to leave inmates alone together at a maximum security prison like Columbia. Hmm. Weird, isn't it? In 2015 Scarver, speaks to the New York post about his reasons for killing Dahmer. He alleged that he was disturbed not only by Dahmer's crimes, but by a habit of Dahmer, um, where he would take prison food and make it look like severed limbs and then squirt ketchup all over the place to look like blood. This fits very much in with the shit that he pulled as a kid, right? Um, and then he would like taunt and antagonize people. So that was part of the reasoning. And he also alleged that both Dahmer and Anderson had, um, taunted him during work detail while they were in completely different spots. He said he confronted Dahmer about his crimes and Dahmer seemed to be unrepentant and that's when he beat him to death. He also claimed the prison guards allowed the murders to happen and that's why they left him alone with these guys. One more thing about the death that puzzles me and many other people is that Dahmer was in really good physical shape. I mean, what do you do in prison? You work out like that's what you do - and I guess make jokes with your food. Um, he could easily have fought back. I mean, a metal bar is no joke, but like he could have fought back and Scarver says he didn't, and his wounds say he didn't. That just leads me back to this whole idea where he's shared his thoughts consistently from his teens even about being suicidal, about not deserving to live, and about questioning if living spits in the face of God. And it, it feels like he wanted it. Um, one of the things that I watched was talking about how, as a born again Christian, he knows that suicide is a no-no, but then if someone else killed you, that's not suicide and you don't necessarily have to fight back. Like I dunno. I thought that was an interesting thought. In Dahmer's will, he asked that there be no services conducted. And he stated he wanted to be cremated. And by September, 1995, he was, and his ashes were split between his parents. His estate was awarded to the families of 11 of his victims who had sued for damages. In 1996, Thomas Jacobson, a lawyer that represents eight of the families, announced that they were planning an auction of his estate. Although victims' relatives stated that the motivation wasn't greed, 'eople were like, oh my God, you're so greedy. Like, dude, I don't know, especially for the people who had kids - at this point, they've gone without, um, you know, the income that parent would have had. I don't know. It's not greed to ask for any sort of reparations or monetary or property payment. I would say like for wrongdoings that you've been through. I think honestly like early nineties peoples weren't there yet in the mindset there was not enough Judge Judy {laughs] I hate that bitch. She's an awful human being. So just FYI. A civic group, Milwaukee Civic Pride was quickly established in an effort to raise funds to purchase and destroy Dahmer's positions. They pledged a little over $400,000 including $100,000 gift by a Milwaukee real estate developer for the purchase of Dahmer's estate. Five of the eight families agree to the terms and Dahmer's possessions were subsequently destroyed and buried in an undisclosed landfill in Illinois. Oh my God. I accidentally scrolled like way up. That was terrifying. On August 5th, 1991 a candlelight vigil to celebrate and heal the Milwaukee community was put on and over 400 people attended. So it was really well attended. There were community leaders, gay rights activist, family members, and they really wanted it to be a spot for people to share their feelings of anger and pain and frustration. And it worked. You know, they got out those feels. And I think it did bring the community closer together, although it also definitely pointed out - like this whole shenanigan right pointed out the lack of fucks the police gave about queer people and especially queer people of color. That's still going on. And the recent serial killings in Toronto are a, uh, good way to say that this, uh, It's not a thing of the past. I'll put a link to that too. I'm going to put a link to everything. The Oxford apartments where Dahmer had killed 12 of his victims were demolished in November of [1992]. The site is a vacant lot still. Um, there've been like these thoughts about like, oh, how do we, how do we fix this piece of land? Do we build a memorial garden or a park or a playground or new housing? And it just never happens. Which honestly, from a ghost perspective, pretty glad about. Lionel released a book in 1994 called A Father's Story where he explores Jeffrey's life and tries to examine what happened. He also talks about their similarities. It's pretty interesting, like I watched a snippet of him reading some, and it was interesting. I think we all have some issues about having control over things. But Lionel tended to blame himself and then also his wife who had been on some medications during like her pregnancy with Jeffrey, that Lionel's pretty sure caused Jeffrey to be a serial killer. I don't think that's how it works, dude. In fact, I'm like 99.999999 to the ninth percent sure that's not how it works. Jeffrey's younger brother - cause remember he has a younger brother - David, he changed his last name. He lives in anonymity. He's not doing any fucking interviews and shit. He's not having it and honestly good for him cause fucking bullshit. I wouldn't want my sister to have to deal with that. I will say it's interesting. Um, there is an odd amount of pride that Wisconsinites seem to feel talking about Dahmer and it's weird. Um, there's an episode of the Netflix show Dark Tourist where he visits spots in the United States and one of the tours they go on is The Cream City Cannibal Tour and it is so disturbing. They make a lot of jokes, which like, okay, I'd probably laugh at the jokes, but then they have like some jump scares along the tour route and stuff? And that just feels wrong. I mean, the jokes are probably a bit much too, if we're honest, but like jump scares? it's wrong. Um, and I mean that tour had been shut down for a time to get it's shit back together before it started to back up. So there's some shit. Um, you know, the other thing is that there's just so much incredibly wrong when we have tours that are light hearted and also only exists to cash in and make light of what happened? And I would say, especially when those tours tend to attract white women. You know, the, the bulk of the audience on this Dar

This episode goes right up until he moves into the notorious apartment on North 25th Street. Resources Wiki Biography Crime Museum Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: Serial Killer’s Chilling Jailhouse Interview Transcription Welcome to this first 2 part episode of the Spooky Sconnie podcast. This is the podcast that talks about everything that is interesting, funky, spooky, criminal, and just plain weird from the state of Wisconsin. For this episode & the next episode, we will be talking about Jeffrey Dahmer who is probably the most well known serial killer from the State of Wisconsin. And being on top of that, he is relatively recent. Um, he was still killing people when I was like four. So a lot of older millennials are very aware and, um, I think probably have memories of, um, you know, seeing information about this case on the news depending on if they were allowed to watch the news a young age. I didn't have any barriers on what I could watch, so I watched a lot. Um, a couple of content notes for these two episodes. Uh, because this is a wild case. We're going to be talking about [animal abuse], murder, rape, sexual violence, torture, necrophilia, child molestation, drug use, and misuse, cannibalism and ableism. So Woo, prepare yourself. Let's just start right in. Just do it. ----more---- Jeffery Lionel Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 21st, 1960. He was the first of two sons to be born to Joyce, Annette Flint and Lionel Herbert Dahmer. Joyce worked as a teletype machine instructor and his father was studying at Marquette University working towards a degree in chemistry. There are conflicting reports on whether or not, uh, Dahmer had a lot of attention as a child. Some accounts say he was very doted upon, others say he was not. Um, it's really difficult to say, I think. He was described as an energetic and happy child until age four when he had to have surgery to correct a double hernia. And he seemed to go through a lot of changes after that. He recalled his early years of family life being of extreme tension, which he noted between his parents who were constantly arguing with each other. At elementary school, he was regarded as quiet and timid. And on his first grade or report card, one teacher described him as a reserved child whom she sensed felt neglected, and she thought that this neglect stemmed from his mother's chronic health issues. And we can talk all about that on my other podcast, it's called the chronic sex podcast where I talk about a lot of things that have to do with chronic illness, disability and sexuality. So while that is not, uh - while parenting with a chronic illness is not something I've covered yet, that is definitely on the docket for that one. But needless to say, somebody can be chronically ill or disabled and still be a great parent, so let's not resort to ableism with that. Cool. During this time, Joyce had been spending a lot of time in bed recovering from probably a flare up of a condition. Um, it's unknown or un-noted from the information I found. A lot of it seemed to suggest she was just hysterical and wanted attention and that is clearly not true. Lionel was studying so much that he was away a lot. And when he was home he needed to help Joyce a lot. So that's where a lot of the, um, assumption that maybe Jeffrey didn't get enough attention comes from, I think. From an early age, Dahmer was really interested in animals. Friends would later recall that he collected a lot of large insects, dragon flies, butterflies and keep them in jars. You know, something that a lot of kids do. Don't use jars because they can't breathe. But you know, you don't know that when you're a kid. Later on he would start collecting carcasses from the road side. And, you know, sometimes his friends would come along. He would dismember these animals at home in an expansive woodland behind the family home according to one friend. Not only would he does dismember the animals, he would store their body parts in jars behind the family's tool shed and would explain that he was curious as to how each animal fit together. In one instance, he decapitated the carcass of a dog before nailing the animal's body to a tree. And later impaled the skull of the dog upon a stake behind a wooden cross in the wood behind his house, woods behind his house, sorry. His fascination with dead animals might've begun around the age of four when he saw his father removing animal bones from underneath the house. And according to the father, um, Dahmer was oddly thrilled by the sounds of the bones made and really became fixated on playing with and looking out for animal bones. He constantly would search beneath the home for more bones. And, um, when he was around live animals like pets, he would constantly like feel around to try to figure out where the bones were. If you take away like the dismemberment part, I feel like he could have been a good like vet, I don't know. I don't know. He became increasingly withdrawn following the birth of his younger brother. And then the family moved around a lot, which did not help the moves to Doylestown, Ohio in October 66 when Joyce was pregnant with um, Dahmer's brother and when he was born on December 18th, 1966, Jeffrey was allowed to choose the name of the baby and he chose David. The same year. Lionel got his degree and was able to go to work in Akron, Ohio. By his early teens, Jeffery was really tense, really out of it, didn't really have friends and he began binge drinking and heavy drinking for fun, which is not great. He claims that his compulsions toward necrophilia and murder began around the age of 14. And um, you know, it appears that the breakdown of his parents' marriage and their divorce a few years later could have been the major catalyst for moving from just having these thoughts to really enacting them. In 1968, the family moved again to Bath, Ohio. Two years later, um, they were eating chicken and Jeffrey asks his father what would happen if the bones of the chicken were to be placed in a bleach solution. So Lionel was really excited that Jeffrey, you know, was asking these scientific questions because he'd been worried about Jeffrey's attitude. And so he willingly demonstrated to Jeffrey how to bleach and later preserve animal bones. The knowledge regarding cleansing and preserving bones was used on many animal remains that Jeffrey continued to collect. From his freshman year in high school, he was seen as an outcast by people around him and um, he really didn't have many friends. Many of his classmates would later recall being disturbed by the fact that he drank beer and hard alcohol, that he smuggled into the school and concealed in his locker. Drinking would happen all throughout school. Um, on one occasion a classmate saw Jeffery drinking a cup of gin and asked why he was drinking liquor in class. And Jeffrey replied, "it's my medicine." He was largely uncommunicative. He was observed by staff to be a polite student who was known to be really smart. He achieved only average grades though, which they were pretty sure was because he was pretty apathetic and just didn't give a fuck. He played tennis. Um, and he also played in the band for a bit. When Jeffrey reached puberty, he realized, like many of us do, that he was not straight. Um, he figured out that he was gay. He didn't want to tell his parents. He did engage in a brief relationship in his teens, but they never really did much sexually, which is fine. Um, later on he began fantasizing about dominating and controlling someone who is completely submissive. These fantasies would gradually grow and become intertwined with this idea of dissection and, and looking inside this body to see how it worked, just like he'd done with the animals. When he was 16 years old, he conceived a rape fantasy of rendering a male jogger that he found attractive unconscious and raping him. He concealed himself in the bushes on the route that he had noted the jogger took every day. Um, he had a baseball bat in his hand and waited for the jogger to come by. But the jogger was not out that day. Dahmer never attempted to implement this plan again, but stated that this was his first real attempt to attack another human being. Despite being regarded as a loner, he was also known as a class clown and staged a lot of pranks. Some of them clearly were to make other people laugh, but others were really to get attention. These pranks became known as 'doing a Dahmer' and included some really horrible things, uh, making random noises and ablest bullshit, like faking a seizure or acting as though they were physically or mentally impaired.. and it makes me want to punch him even more than I already do. By 1977 Dahmer's grades had tanked because of his alcohol abuse. His parents hired a private tutor for him, but the tutor really couldn't help that much. The parents attended counseling sessions the same year to try to resolve their personal differences and save their marriage, but that was unsuccessful and they decided to divorce. Initially the divorce was amicable. They were like, 'okay, this just isn't working.' But the parents began to fight even more and more, and in early 1978 Lionel decided to just move out of the house. In May, Jeffrey graduated from high school. A few weeks before his graduation, one of his teachers saw him sitting close to the school parking lot and drinking a lot of beer and the teacher threatened to report the matter. And Jeffery was like, 'look, there's a lot of problems at home. The, the guidance counselor is aware of them. It's okay. Just let me be.' After this, Joyce was awarded custody of her younger son, and she and David left and moved in with family back in Wisconsin. Jeffrey, though, was legally an adult and you know, didn't have to follow anyone anywhere. Um, at the time he was living alone in the family home really after, um, graduating high school in 1978. Three weeks after graduation, um, he picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and took him home. Jeffrey proceeded to get the man drunk and when Steven decided to leave Dahmer, killed him by striking him in the head and strangling him with a 10 pound barbell from behind. The following day. Dahmer, dissects Hicks' body in the crawl space, he later buries the remains in a shallow grave in the backyard before several weeks later unearthing those remains and paring the flesh from the bones. He dissolves the flesh in acid before flushing the solution down the toilet. He then crushed the bones with a sledge hammer and scattered them in the woodland behind the family home. Six weeks after murdering Steven Hicks, um, Jeffrey gets a surprise visit from his father Lionel and Lionel's new fiancée. They hadn't realized he was living alone at the house. And upon coming back they were like, 'okay, like you can stay here, but you've got stuff you have to do.' So, um, that August Jeffrey enrolls at Ohio State University and his goal was to major in business. He stayed for one term, though, and was really unproductive because he kept abusing alcohol. He received failing grades in introduction to anthropology, classical civilizations and administrative science. The only course he did well at was riflery - like shooting rifles - where he received a B minus grade. His overall GPA because of that was 0.45 out of 4.0 - not good. On one occasion, Lionel decided to pay a surprise visit to his son on campus only to find his room strewn with empty liquor bottles. Lionel had paid it in advance for the second term, but Dahmer left after just three months of school. By the time of his first murder - killing Steven Hicks - Jeffrey's alcohol consumption had spun out of control. You know, he dropped out, his father had gotten remarried and was living locally and his father was like, 'look, you should join the army.' So Jeffrey did. Um, he enlisted in December, 1978 late in that month and was posted to Germany shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, he still had his drinking problem and in um, early 1981, the army granted him an honorable discharge because his superiors did not believe that problems Dahmer had the army would be applicable to civilian life. Um, while he was in the army, there are theories that he may have engaged in murders in Germany and German authorities later investigated possible connections between him and murders that took place in the area while he was there, but they don't think it was him. Two soldiers attested to being raped by Dahmer while in the army, one of whom stated in 2010 that while stationed at Baumholder Dahmer had repeatedly raped him over a 17-month period, while another soldier believes Dahmer drugged and raped him inside an armored personnel carrier in 1979. Neither of these things were ever investigated. On March 24th, 1981 Dahmer was set sent to Fort Jackson, South Carolina for debriefing and he was provided with a plane ticket to travel anywhere in the country. Dahmer later told police he felt he could not return home to face his father. So he opted to go to Miami beach because he was 'tired of the cold' and also he wanted to try to live on his own. In Florida, he found employment at a Deli and rented a room in a nearby motel. He spent most of his salary on alcohol - surprise - and was soon evicted for not paying his rent. He initially spent evenings on the beach while he kept working at the Deli. But in September of that year, uh, he called his father and asked to return home. He lived with his father and stepmother for a bit and insisted on being delegated numerous chores to occupy his time while he looked for work. He continued to drink a lot though. And two weeks after getting home was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. He was fined $60 and given a suspended at 10 day jail sentence. He was then sent to live with his grandmother here in Wisconsin. She was really the only family member that he had a really good emotional connection with and Lionel hoped that her influence and the change of scenery might help Jeffrey, you know, get his shit together. Initially things were great. He would go with his grandmother to church. He did as many chores as he could. He tried to find work. He um, followed most of her rules with the exception of he still drank and still smoked. This new influence of his grandmother really helped a lot for a bit. In early 1982 he started work as a phlebotomist - hat's the person that draws your blood - at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center and held this job for 10 months before being laid off. He then was unemployed for over two years, um, living really only on the money his grandmother gave him. Shortly before losing that job, he was arrested for indecent exposure on August 7th, 1982 at the Wisconsin State Fair Park - and by the way, this is about the same time of year the state fair is going on, so that's my guess is he was at the state fair - he was observed to expose himself to a crowd of 25 women and children. He was convicted and fined $50 plus court costs. In January, 1985 he was hired on as a mixer at the Milwaukee Ambrosia chocolate factory and he worked the night shift - 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM six nights a week with Saturday evenings off. Shortly after working there an incident occurred in which he was propositioned by another man while sitting and reading in the West Allis public library. Um, West Allis is a part of basically Milwaukee, but it's, it's, it used to be its own city, um, it's basically Milwaukee though. The stranger threw Dahmer a note offering to perform fellatio upon him. Dahmer didn't respond, but of course it got his creative juices flowing, so to speak. He began familiarizing himself with the gay bars in the area, queer bookstores, the bathouses. He even stole a mannequin from a store to like sex it - do the sex to it. Um, his grandmother found it and demanded it be tossed out though. By 1985, he was frequenting bathhouses. He became very frustrated though when his partners would move during sex. So he starts drugging men and raping them as they lay unconscious. Beginning in June, 1986, he administered sleeping pills to his partners, giving them liquor laced with the sedatives. He was never charged and to be frank, this is likely related to the distrust of police from the queer community and um, the police not giving a fuck about the queer community. Following his later or arrest, he would state "I trained myself to view people have an as objects of pleasure instead of people." After approximately 12 such instances, the bathhouses' administration revoked Dahmer's membership and he moved to using hotel rooms to continue this practice. Shortly after that, he read a report in the newspaper regarding the upcoming funeral of an 18 year old male. He conceived the idea stealing the freshly entered corpse and taking it home. He even got so far as to try to dig the coffin from the ground, but found the soil too hard and abandoned the plan. He was arrested again in 1986 when two boys accused him of masturbating in front of them near the Kinnickinnic River. Dahmer initially admitted the offense and was again charged with indecent exposure, but quickly changed his story and just said he was peeing - just taking a piss and didn't know people were there. The charge was changed to disorderly conduct and on March 10th, 1987 he was sentenced to one years' probation with additional instructions to undergo counseling. On November 20th, 1987 Dahmer, again still living with his grandmother, encountered a 25 year old man from Ontonagon, Michigan named Steven Tuomi at a bar. He persuades Steven to return to the Ambassador Hotel where Dahmer had rented a room for the evening. According to Dahmer, he had no intention of murdering Tuomi but simply intended to drug and rape him as he lay unconscious - simply. The following morning, however, he awoke to find Tuomi lying beneath him on the bed. His chest crushed in and black and blue with bruises. Blood was also seeping from the corner of his mouth, and Dahmer's fists and one forearm were extensively bruised. To dispose of Tuomi's body, he purchased a large suitcase in which he transported the body to his grandmother's residence. There, one week later, he severred the head, arms and legs from the torso and filleted the bones from the body before cutting the flesh pieces small enough to handle. He then placed the flesh inside plastic garbage bags. He wrapped the bones inside a sheet and pounded them into splinters with a sledge hammer. The entire process took Dahmer approximately two hours to complete, which is honestly really fast. He disposed of all of Tuomi's remains in the trash, excluding the severed head. Um, for two weeks following the murder, he kept the head wrapped in a blanket. Uh, after that time he boiled the head and a mixture of Soilex, which is an alkaline based industrial detergent and bleach and an effort to retain the skull and then use it for jerking. Eventually, um, the skull became too brittle and he had to pulverize and dispose of it. Two months after murdering, Steven Tuomi, Dahmer encounters a 14 year old Native American sex worker named James Doxtator. Jeffrey lures, James to his home with an offer of $50 to pose for nude pictures. The pair did the sex and then Dahmer drugs James and strangles him on the floor of the celar. He leaves the body there for one week before dismembering it in much the same manner as he had with Tuomi, like literally down to keeping the head until it got too brittle. On March 24th, 1988 Dahmer meets a 22 year old bisexual dude named Richard Guerrero outside of a gay bar called the Phoenix. Dahmer lures Guerrero to his grandmother's house. Although the incentive was $50 to simply spend the night with him, he then drugs Guerrero with sleeping pills and strangles him with a leather strap. Dahmer then sucks the dead guy's Dick. What? He dismembers the body within 24 hours of the murder and again, keeps the skull for a bit. On April 23rd Dahmer lures another young man to his house. However, after giving the victim a drug coffee, both he and the victim hear Dahmer's grandmother call out "Is that you, Jeff?" Dahmer replied in a manner that led his grandmother to believe he was alone, but she knew he wasn't. So he didn't kill this guy. Instead, he waited until he became unconscious and then took the victim to the hospital. In September, 1988 his grandmother asks him to move out of her house because of his habit of bringing young men to her house late at night and the foul smells emanating from both the basement and the garage. So Dahmer goes on his own and finds a one bedroom apartment moves in on September 25th. The following day, he was arrested for drugging and sexually fondling a 13 year old boy. He pleads guilty claiming the boy had appeared much older. In 1989, he's convicted of second degree sexual assault and of enticing a child for immoral purposes because he had tried to lure this child to his house to pose nude. Sentencing for this assault was suspended - so he's convicted in January and the sentencing is suspended until May. On March 20th, he um, takes a 10 day Easter absence from work and moved back to his grandmother's house. He then uses that basement to do what he loves to do. Um, he lures, drugs, strangles, sodomizes, photographs, and then dismembers and disposes of Anthony's, Sears, an aspiring model. They met at a gay bar on March 25th. According to Dahmer, on this particular occasion, he was not looking to commit a crime. However, shortly before closing time, Sears just starts talking to Dahmer, so he lures him to the grandmother's home where they engage in oral sex before Dahmer drugs and strangles Sears. And the next morning, Dahmer places the corpse in his grandmother's bathtub where he decapitates the body before attempting to flay the corpse. He then strips the flesh, pulverizes the bones and tosses them in the trash. He found Sears "exceptionally attractive" and he was the first victim from whom Dahmer permanently retains body parts. He actually preserves Sears' head and genitals in acetone and stores them in his work locker. When he moves later on, he takes those with him because they are important obviously. At his trial for the molestation in May, um, he was said to be the model of contrition arguing eloquently in his own defense, but how he had seen the error of his ways and that his rest marked a turning point in his life. Like many other serial killers - y'all go watch the Ted Bundy tapes - these guys know how to play. They know how to play with you. His defense argued that he needed treatment and not incarceration, which the judge agreed to handing down a one year prison sentence on day release. This allowed Dahmer to work at his job during the day and returned to the prison at night after that one year. Um, he was also given five years probation. Years later in an interview with CNN, his father stated he had written a letter to the court requesting psychological help before, um, Jeffrey gets paroled. However, Jeffery is granted an early release after serving only 10 months of his sentence. He briefly lives with his grandmother following his release during which time we, he doesn't seem to have killed anyone. Um, and then he moves back into his own apartment. And that's that for this half of the episode. Tune in next time to hear the chiling conclusion!. I feel like I need to do like those really cheesy Batman, like 'will they make it?' kind of segues but it's fine. Um, so when we will rejoin Jeffrey Dahmer will be in May of 1990 um, when he moves to his infamous apartment on North 25th street.

What has happened at our nation's traditional Evangelical Christian seminaries and colleges? Over the past several years, pastors and professors graduating from seminaries in the United States seem to be more familiar with French postmodernists, liberal radicals, and open society progressives. These wayward philosophies manifest themselves in concepts such as critical race theory, white privilege, systemic racism and other forms of postmodern deconstructionism. What exactly is going on and how can this problem be reversed? The answer lies in two forms. First, in the average evangelical church pew in the form of the common man or woman who takes the responsibility of being a good Berean along with the infallible guide of Holy Scripture. Secondly, in faithful pastors who are willing to endure criticism and hardship in order to break from the postmodern direction of their denominations, para-church ministries, and seminaries.
