Born to a fundamentalist father in Milwaukee, Jeffrey Dahmer grew up in difficult circumstances, which included being sexually molested by a neighbor.
Dahmer became an alcoholic loner and eventually began to perform "experiments" on dead animals. At age 18, he murdered his homosexual lover, who had wanted to split with him. In all, Dahmer murdered 17 boys and men, most of whom were young black homosexuals.
The most grisly aspect of these murders was that Dahmer engaged in cannibalism, kept some of his victims' severed heads in his refrigerator, and had vats of acid into which he placed various body parts of those he had killed.
In some cases, Dahmer drilled holes in his victims' heads, into which he poured strong liquids in an attempt to destroy the victims' conscious will and turn them into obedient "zombies."
When arrested in 1991 and charged, Dahmer pled not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury, however, found him guilty and gave him 15 consecutive life sentences. In 1994, he was slashed by a fellow inmate but escaped death. Almost half a year later, another inmate succeeded in killing Dahmer, by smashing his skull with an iron bar.
