Jeffrey Dahmer’s Mugshots

Here is an accurate timeline I put together of all of Jeffrey Dahmer’s mugshots:

October 1981 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest after being drunk and abusive towards staff at the Ramada Inn in Bath, Ohio

August 1982 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct after he was caught indecently exposing himself (urinating) in front of a large group of people at the Wisconsin State Fair

Unknown This mugshot is rare and it is not known exactly what it was for. It could possibly be after the September 1986 arrest for masturbating in public. Two boys saw Dahmer and reported him to the police. The initial charges were Lewd and Lascivious Behaviour and Indecent Exposure. He was then charged in March 1987 for Disorderly Conduct. It could also possibly be for the 1988 Second Degree Sexual Assault arrest. He was charged in 1989 and given 1 year in the House of Correction and 5 years of probation.

July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested on 22 July 1991 after police had found polaroid photos of men in various stages of dismemberment, and had also found skulls, skeletons and different dismembered body parts in his apartment. The first photo (no glasses) was taken on 23 July when he was first taken back to the police station and started to confess; it’s clear he was still intoxicated. The second photo (with glasses) was taken on 24 July, the day after the initial mugshot was taken

July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer was initially charged with 4 counts of First Degree Intentional Homicide and Habitual Criminality. This was his first court appearance on 25 July 1991

April 1992 Jeffrey Dahmer was extradited to Ohio to be charged with the murder of Steven Hicks in 1978. He entered a plea of guilty and was given his 16th life sentence during this trial

May 1992 Jeffrey Dahmer was processed into the state’s prison system at the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton, Ohio, immediately after his trial for the murder of Steven Hicks. He was then sent to Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, where he was to stay for the rest of his life

“When I had interviewed Berkowitz in Attica, he had tried to pass the dog story off on me. ‘Hey David, knock off the bullshit,’ I said. ‘The dog had nothing to do with it.’ In fact, the story didn’t even come into being until after his arrest. He laughed and nodded and conceded that I was right.”

— John Douglas, The Killer Across The Table

”For everything he did to the girls—the bludgeoning, the strangulation, humiliating their bodies, torturing them—I feel that the electric chair is too good for him”.

- Eleanor Rose, mother of victim Denise Naslund

Conversations with a Killer : The Ted Bundy Tapes - Trailer

[dahmerstropicalfish]

Do you know what all of the victims did on their last day alive?

I know some of their last moments. It seems a lot of parents spoke about their final moments with their children in interviews. (Some of the ones I listed are just last remembered activities, not what they did the day before sorry.)

Rachel Scott 

Rachel’s last morning by now is very well known. Rachel and her brother had gotten into an argument because they were running late to school. He had rudely slammed the door in her face and unknowingly that was his last interaction with her. 

Daniel Rohrbough 

I don’t know Daniel’s last day, but one thing that comes to mind was he held the door open for the people behind him as he fled the school.

Dave Sanders

Dave Sanders moments are also very well known. His last moments are what made him known as a hero. Instead of protecting himself and hiding, he alerted the students in the cafeteria confirming active shooters in the school. It’s safe to say he saved many peoples lives that day.

Kyle Velasquez 

Kyle was driven to school everyday by his mother.  Kyle’s last words to her were simply “Goodbye. I love you, mom.”

Matthew Kechter 

“When I heard he was one of the ones from the library, it only made sense. He was always in the library studying. He always put academics first. He had straight A’s but he would never brag about it. I kinda looked up to him because of it. He was never in a bad mood, he was consistenly happy.” - Greg Barnes 

Matt was sitting with Isaiah and Craig Scott that day in the library.

Isaiah Shoels

It was a typical morning for Isaiah too. He had run out of the house and left his bed unmade. 

Lauren Townsend

The night before, her mother and her father had attended a Rockies game and got home around 9:30. When they got back, Lauren was slightly upset at them for coming back so late even though she knew they would be gone. She was disappointed because she wanted to snuggle and the game interrupted their ‘snuggle time.’ Her mother sat down with her for a few minutes, but Lauren had some work left to do and went off to bed. She said goodnight and told her mom they’d snuggle tomorrow. Her mom promised to put in extra time to snuggle. She never came home.

John Tomlin

In John’s final moments, it was an everyday routine. He left his bible open on the dash of his beloved truck and was studying at the library on the day of the massacre like everyday.

Daniel Mauser

Daniel too was in the library, a daily occurrence. But as he was approached by Eric, he pushed a chair out as a way to stand up to him. He was shot right after.

Corey DePooter 

Corey and his mother had always danced together in the kitchen growing up. His mom remembers him and his brother always being good dancers. The night before his death, him and his mom just so happened to share a last dance out of the blue. It definitely wasn’t an every night occurrence, so looking back it was really special for her.

Cassie Bernall

I’ll let her mom do the talking ;)

“April 20, 1999, started like any other school day in our house. At fiveforty-five Brad, my husband, left for work, and a little later I got up towake the kids. Getting teenagers out of bed is always a small battle, butthat Tuesday was especially difficult. Cassie had stayed up late the nightbefore catching up on homework, and her books were all over the kitchentable. Her cat’s litter box needed attention, too, and we were running latewith breakfast. I remember trying not to lecture her about all the thingsthat needed doing before she left for school….

About seven-twenty Chris kissed me goodbye, or at least gave me hischeek, which is what it’s gone to lately (he’s fifteen) and clattered downthe stairs and out of the house. Cassie stopped at the door to put on her shoes – her beloved black velvet Doc Martens, which she wore rain or shine, even with dresses – grabbed her backpack, and headed after herbrother. As she left I leaned over the banister to say goodbye, like I always do: “Bye, Cass. I love you.” “Love you too, Mom,” she mumbled back.Then she was gone, through the back yard, over the fence, and across thesoccer  field to the high school, which is only a hundred yards away.I dressed, made myself a cup of coffee, locked up, and drove off to work.” 

[dahmerstropicalfish]

When serial killer Richard Ramirez was asked how a woman can avoid becoming a victim of a serial killer, he replied,

‘’There is no set rule, no proof positive, that once you come into contact with a serial killer that you will survive the encounter. There is no assurance of any of that because every individual is different and that same goes for every serial killer. Some serial killers will let you live if you talk to them, if you get to know them, if they get to know you; some serial killers will take pity while others won’t. This not only applies to serial killers but killers in general. Some killers are hellbent on just killing regardless of circumstances or situation. They have made their minds up even before they encounter you and there is no way out of it. The victim is at a disadvantage because she or he does not know the mind of the killer or what he is thinking.’’
