“I started to have fleeting fantasies of killing someone.  I don’t know where they came from but they did.  They were always intertwined, sex and killing.  I tried to get them out of my mind, but the sexual fantasy was powerful and I would masturbate for hours thinking about it.  The fantasy was always the same.  I would meet a good-looking man, bring him home, have sex with him and then kill him.  In my fantasy, I always strangled them as they slept.  I don’t know why, but it seemed the most humane way.

I knew from my earliest sexual awakenings that I was gay.  I was always attracted to men and never really questioned why.  I just accepted the fact that I liked men and not women.  I was raised Lutheran and I knew the faith frowned on homosexuals.  I could see that openly gay people could have a tough time of it, so I decided to keep this my little secret.  This wasn’t hard, as I kept most thoughts to myself.  I don’t know why, but my fantasies always included cutting into the dead bodies of my lovers.  I would slice their torso from chin to crotch and pull out their inner viscera, laying it on their chest.  The thought of the warm inner cavity would excite me tremendously and I would masturbate thinking about it.  The orgasm was always pleasurable and intense.”

Jeffrey Dahmer’s letter to Jason Moss, 1994

”Your school work is important, and I completely understand your needing time for finals. Just don’t forget about me when your school work is done, ha ha. I have many things to do to keep myself busy anyway. Let me know when you’re ready to pursue a serious relationship. As long as you have the time without distraction, I would be more than open to it.”

Shortly after, Dahmer was murdered in prison by Christopher Scarver.

The Death of Jeffrey Dahmer

In an interview with Pat Kennedy, the detective who took Jeffrey Dahmer’s confession, he discussed the death of the serial killer. Pat stated that the man who was killed alongside Dahmer had defensive wounds on his arms from where he attempted to stop Christopher Scarver from murdering him. Jeffrey Dahmer on the other hand, had no defensive wounds at all, all of his wounds were just from the blunt force trauma that he endured from the barbell Scarver hit him with. Dahmer’s last words were “I don’t care if I live or die, go ahead and kill me.” He even stated to his mother the last time he talked to her that he didn’t care if something happened to him while in prison. This is evident in his lack of defensive wounds, it seems as if he was certainly ready to die.

“It did kinda shake me up a little bit,” Kennedy said upon hearing about the death of Dahmer. “I don’t know if this means I’m not the macho guy I wanted to be, but I felt really conflicted about it because I got to know him, I saw him as a very tragic figure. I guess I felt sad that he was dead because I don’t believe anybody needs to die like that.”

Those who knew Jeffrey Dahmer as a child provided starkly different accounts of the burgeoning serial killer.  Sue Lehr, the mother of one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s friends between the ages of 10 and 14, recalled him as a thin, blond-haired child, shy and overwhelmingly polite—the epitome of the “sweet boy.”  Lehr remembered that he seemed desperate to please adults.  There was a certain hungry needfulness about him, teeming in his pale blue eyes behind black, thick-framed glasses.  He was, in Lehr’s words, “the kind of child I would like to have hugged … I probably have hugged him at one time or another.”  Still, Lehr stated that she didn’t necessarily trust him because “I felt I knew he was a frightened child.”  Her son, Ted Lehr, stated that Dahmer was “a fun kid to be around” because he wasn’t afraid to stir up a little mischief, but that he also didn’t seem to have much sympathy for others and would laugh at other children who hurt themselves on the playground.  

Sandra Tyson, a  neighbor whose son Eric played with young Dahmer, reported, “He was a nice quiet little boy.  I think everybody thought that.”  Yet, her son recollected a slightly different image of him: an odd, sometimes unnerving kid with a morbid hobby of collecting roadkill off the country roads and preserving them in jars inside a wooden shed he termed “the hut.”  ErIc Tyson described, “He would collect these animals, dismember them, separate them by body parts, and put them in jars.  The hut had tons and tons of jars of animals and pieces of animals.  And he seemed to be fascinated by the decomposition.”  One day, a middle-school-age Dahmer brought Tyson and another boy into the hut to show them his collection.  He held up one jar of murky liquid and told them that there was a raccoon inside.  The other boys didn’t believe him, so Dahmer angrily “took the jar and smashed it on a rock, and the smell was so bad we all vomited.”  Tyson also remembered that in addition to the hut, Dahmer had a “pet cemetery” for dead animals.  “I had heard stories in the area about him going around and doing things to animals,” he told reporters.  “I don’t know if he did it.  He seemed like such a nice, quiet kid.”

In an excerpt from The Man Who Could Not Kill Enough, Anne Schwartz discusses her first day covering Jeffrey Dahmer’s trial.

I was lucky enough to be the pool reporter the second day of jury selection. Deputies ushered me into the judge’s chambers. I looked toward the corner of the room, and there sat Jeffrey Dahmer, just a few feet away from me. He had changed into brown pants, a tan jacket, and a beige shirt with no tie. Yellow tinted glasses rested atop his nose but he didnt use them for reading; he simply stared at the floor or out the window behind my head the entire time. Prospective jurors never looked at him. Dahmer briefly looked up at me when I walked into the room and then returned his gaze to the floor.

One of the highlights of the jury briefings was a woman who said she could not serve on the Dahmer jury because she raised exotic birds and they would die without her. Even Dahmer laughed. Some perspective jurors were excused because, as one woman put it, “I don’t think I have the stomach for it.”

Summary of The Forensic Examiner article on Jeffrey Dahmer, from October 2013 - Much of the information we have on Dahmer is subject to personal bias via Lionel Dahmer. Although Joyce Dahmer has refused most interviews, she spent far more time with Jeffrey during his childhood and insisted he was anything but abnormal. Her emotional instability aside, she was sane enough to inherit custody of both sons in the divorce. Lionel also spent much of his time avoiding his family and their son, and was repeatedly in denial of Jeffrey’s problems, even as they grew. _ Dahmer may have had what others with Aspergers call “special interests”, which are subjects of focus that they can’t help but obsess over and share with others with almost a one-sided support. Despite Dahmer’s obsessive tendencies, he did not share any information regarding these interests with others. Not only that, but he acknowledged and knew that his interests were unacceptable and felt shame and embarrassment in explaining them. These special interests, for him, of course, were cannibalism and necrophilia. _ Dahmer inherited much of his flat emotionlessness from his father, which is noted by even his father. However, he is capable of being warm in expression to both parents, maintaining eye contact, and even further, was able to seduce and lure many men into sleeping with him. Later, in prison, Dahmer was consistently capable of being engaging with those he chose to be. - In interview Stone Philips, Dahmer shows some awkwardness in his gestures, but is responsive, aware, and forward about thoughts and feelings. He remains cognizant of the information he is discussing and is careful not offend, has speech inflection, and acts and remains appropriate in action for the entirety of the interview. - Support exists for Dahmer’s likelihood of having a major depressive disorder (chronic boredom, emptiness, etc.) and possibility of a schizotypal or schizoid personality disorder, even if reasoning behind Brian Masters’ views is unsupported. Note: I must apologize, I had only glanced at the article before I made my previous post suggesting the likelihood of Aspergers support, however, upon reading further, I find that the article more or less shares my current view on such a diagnosis, but also removes support for Brian Masters’ view of Dahmer as having a schizoid or schizotypal personality disorder (that I also share) in addition to his actual borderline personality disorder diagnosis. I do like this article, though, and encourage you to consider the ideas it respresents, even if you do not share them.
