Inside Dahmers Apartment 15 Second Shock Tour

Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender, nicknamed the “Milwaukee Cannibal,” who murdered 17 boys and men between 1978 and 1991, committing acts of necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism. Crimes and Methods Dahmer typically targeted young men and teenage boys, many of them people of color, whom he met at bus stops, bars, and malls, luring them home with offers of money to pose for photos. He drugged them with sedatives, strangled them, and then engaged in sexual acts with the bodies, taking Polaroid photos, dismembering them, and sometimes preserving skulls, organs, and skeletons. In later murders, he experimented with drilling holes in victims’ skulls and pouring chemicals in attempts to create compliant “zombies.” Discovery and Arrest On July 22, 1991, would-be victim Tracy Edwards escaped from Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment and flagged down police, leading officers back to Apartment 213. Inside, they found a severed head in the refrigerator, a 57-gallon drum with decomposing torsos, multiple skulls, preserved organs, and dozens of photos documenting dismemberment, which led to Dahmer’s immediate arrest and confession. Trial, Sentence, and Death Dahmer was charged with 17 murders (16 in Wisconsin, one in Ohio) and pleaded guilty but insane; a jury found him legally sane and fully responsible. In 1992 he received 15 consecutive life sentences in Wisconsin (and another in Ohio), totaling 16 life terms, and was later beaten to death in prison by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver on November 28, 1994.
