JEFFREY DAHMER NET WORTH, BiOGRAPHY, AGE, FAMILY, WIKI, AND LIFE STORY
Jeffrey Dahmer was an American who was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, in 1960. He was a serial killer and sex offender. From a young age, he was interested in how animals worked. He also had a troubled home life, which led to him drinking and using drugs too much. He is thought to have killed 17 people and played with dead bodies, which gave him the nickname "Milwaukee Cannibal." The bodies of his victims and signs of schizotypal personality disorder were found in his house. He was also charged with molesting a child, but he got away. He was found to be sane and given 15 sentences of life in jail.

On February 15, the court met again to hear the decision. Dahmer was found to be sane and not suffering from a mental disorder at the time of each of the 15 murders for which he was tried, although two of the 12 jurors disagreed on each count. On the first two counts, Dahmer was given a term of life in prison plus ten years. For the other 13 counts, he had to get life in prison plus 70 years. At the punishment part, Judge Gram could not think about the death penalty because the State of Wisconsin had done away with it in 1853.
Smith was killed less than three months after Dahmer met Ernest Miller, a 22-year-old Chicago local, on the corner of North 27th Street. Miller agreed to go with Dahmer to his apartment and let him listen to his heart and stomach for $50. When Dahmer tried to have oral sex with Miller, Miller told him, "That'll cost you extra," so Dahmer gave his intended victim a drink with two sleeping pills in it. On this occasion, though, he only had two sleeping pills, so he killed Miller by cutting his carotid artery with the same knife he used to cut up his other victims' bodies. Miller died from bleeding quickly. Dahmer then put the naked body in a number of suggestive poses for Polaroid photos before putting it in his pool to be cut up. Dahmer kissed and talked to the chopped head over and over while he cut up the rest of the body. He put Miller's heart, muscles, and pieces of leg meat in plastic bags and put them in the fridge so that they could be eaten later. Dahmer boiled the rest of the meat and organs in Soilex until they turned into a "jelly-like substance." This allowed him to rinse the flesh off the skeleton, which he wanted to keep. To keep the skeleton in good shape, he put the bones in a light bleach solution for 24 hours and then let them dry on a cloth for a week. He put the severed head in the fridge for a while before removing the skin, painting it, and coating it with enamel.
In the early hours of May 27, when Dahmer went back to his apartment, he saw Sinthasomphone sitting naked on the corner of 25th and State and talking in Laotian, with three young women standing near him and looking scared. Dahmer walked up to the three women and told them that Sinthasomphone, who he called by a nickname, was his friend. He then tried to take Sinthasomphone by the arm and lead him to his apartment. The three women talked Dahmer out of it by telling him they had called 911. When two cops named John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish showed up, Dahmer calmed down. He told them that Sinthasomphone was his 19-year-old boyfriend, that he had been drinking too much after a fight, and that he often did things like this when he was drunk. The three women were angry, and when one of them tried to tell an officer that Sinthasomphone was bleeding from his buttocks and that he seemed to have fought against Dahmer's attempts to walk him to his apartment, the officer told her to "butt out," "shut the hell up," and not get involved, adding that the situation was "domestic."
Jeffrey Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Evangelical Deaconess Hospital. He was the first of Joyce Annette (née Flint) and Lionel Herbert Dahmer's two boys. Dahmer's mother was a teacher for teletype machines, and his father was a chemistry student at Marquette University. His father's family was from Germany and Wales, and his mother's family was from Norway and Ireland.
In October 1966, the Dahmer family moved to Doylestown, Ohio. Joyce Dahmer was going to have her second child at the time. When she had a boy on December 18, 1966, Jeffrey got to choose the name. He gave his younger brother the name David. Lionel Dahmer got his degree and got a job as an analytical chemist in the city of Akron in the same year.
The family moved to Bath, Ohio, in 1968. Two years later, while having chicken for dinner with his family, Dahmer asked his father what would happen if the chicken bones were put in a bleach solution. At this point, Lionel Dahmer was worried about his older son's calm and lazy attitude and the fact that he lived alone. He was happy that his son took the initiative to pursue what he thought was scientific interest. He was happy to show his son how to bleach and (later) store animal bones properly. Dahmer used what he knew about how to clean and store bones on many of the animal remains he continued to gather with a passion.

Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer is known to have killed 17 young men. Twelve of these people were killed in his room on North 25th Street. Three more people were killed and cut up at his grandmother's house in West Allis. His first and second victims were killed at his parents' house in Bath, Ohio, and at the Ambassador Hotel in Wisconsin, respectively. Fourteen of Dahmer's victims were from different racial minorities, and nine of them were black. Dahmer was like the insect Adam Ant in that he didn't care about the race of his victims and was more interested in how their bodies looked.
Dahmer joined the U.S. Army in January 1979 at his father's request. He trained as a medical specialist at Fort Sam Houston until July 13, 1979, when he was sent to Baumholder, West Germany, to serve as a combat medic with the 2nd Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment, 8th Infantry Division. Reports say that Dahmer was a "average or slightly above average" soldier in his first year of service. Two soldiers say that Dahmer raped them while they were in the army. One of them said in 2010 that Dahmer raped him over and over for 17 months while he was stationed at Baumholder. Another soldier says that Dahmer drugged him and then raped him inside an armored personnel carrier in 1979. Because Dahmer drank too much, his performance in the Army got worse, and in March 1981, he was found unfit for military service and kicked out of the Army. He was given an honorable discharge because his bosses didn't think any problems he had in the Army would be a problem in private life.
Dahmer lived with his father and wife when he first moved back to Ohio. He insisted on being given a lot of chores to do while he looked for work. But he kept drinking a lot, and just two weeks after he got home, he was arrested for being drunk and acting crazy. He was fined $60 and given a 10-day suspended jail term. Dahmer's father tried to get him to stop drinking, but it didn't work. Dahmer's father and stepmother sent him to West Allis to live with his grandma in December 1981. The only member of Dahmer's family he showed any love for was his grandmother. They hoped that her influence and the change of scenery might help Dahmer stop drinking, get a job, and live responsibly. At first, Dahmer's living situation with his grandma was good. He went to church with her, did chores without being asked, looked for work, and followed most of her rules, though he continued to drink and smoke. This new role in his life worked at first, and Dahmer got a job as a phlebotomist at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center in early 1982. He worked at this job for 10 months before he was let go. He didn't have a job for more than two years, so he lived off the money his grandma gave him.
Dahmer was caught for indecent exposure just before he lost his job. On August 7, 1982, at Wisconsin State Fair Park, 25 women and children saw Dahmer strip in front of a crowd. Because of this, he was found guilty and given a $50 fine and court fees.
By the end of 1985, he was going to the bathhouses daily. He later said that they were "relaxing places," but he got annoyed when his sexual partners moved around while they were making love. After he was arrested, he said, "I trained myself to see people as things to be enjoyed instead of as people." So, starting in June 1986, he started giving his partners sleeping pills or giving them booze with sleeping pills mixed in. He then raped their bodies while they were still asleep. After about 12 of these incidents, Dahmer's registration was taken away by the bathhouse's management. He then started doing this in hotel rooms. Shortly after he was kicked out of the bathhouses, Dahmer read in the newspaper that an 18-year-old man was going to be buried. He got the idea to steal the body after it was buried and take it home. Dahmer says that he tried to dig the coffin out of the ground, but the dirt was too hard, so he gave up on the idea.
In November 1987, Dahmer, who was living with his grandmother in West Allis at the time, met Steven Tuomi, a 25-year-old man from Ontonagon, Michigan, at a bar. Dahmer talked Tuomi into going back to the Ambassador Hotel, where he had taken a room for the night. Dahmer says he didn't plan to kill Tuomi. Instead, he just wanted to drug him and rape him while he was out. The next morning, though, he woke up to find Tuomi lying under him on the bed, with marks "black and blue" and his chest "crushed in." Dahmer's mouth corner was also dripping blood, and his fists and one wrist were badly bruised. Dahmer said he had no memory of killing Tuomi and later told police that he "could not believe this had happened." In order to get rid of Tuomi's body, he bought a big bag and took it to his grandmother's house. A week later, he cut the head, arms, and legs off the trunk. He then removed the bones from the body and cut the meat into small enough pieces to handle. He then put the meat in trash bags made of plastic. He put the bones in a sheet and used a hatchet to break them up into small pieces. The whole process took Dahmer about two hours, and all of Tuomi's body parts, except for her cut head, were thrown away in the trash.

In September 1988, Dahmer's grandmother asked him to leave her house because he often brought young men there late at night and because the basement and garage smelled bad. Dahmer found an apartment with one bedroom on North 25th Street and moved in on September 25. The next day, Dahmer was caught for giving drugs to and touching sexually a 13-year-old boy he had lured to his house with the promise of taking pictures of him naked. In January 1989, Dahmer was found guilty of second-degree sexual attack and trying to get a child to do something he shouldn't have. The punishment for the attack was put off until May 1989. On March 20, Dahmer took ten days off for Easter. During that time, he moved back in with his grandma.
Dahmer was let out of this regime two months before he was due to leave the work camp. (At this point, his five-year probation from 1989 started.) When Dahmer got out of prison, he moved back in with his grandma in West Allis for a while. In May 1990, he moved into the Milwaukee Oxford Apartments on North 25th Street. Even though it was in a high-crime area, the apartment was close to his job, it was fully furnished, and it only cost $300 a month, which covered all bills except for power.
Most of Dahmer's victims were killed by strangulation after being given sedatives. However, his first victim was killed by a combination of beating and strangulation, and his second victim was killed by being beaten to death. Ernest Miller, who was killed in 1990, died of shock and blood loss after having his carotid artery cut. Many of Dahmer's victims who died in 1991 had holes drilled into their skulls. Dahmer then injected hydrochloric acid or, later, boiling water straight into their brains to make them permanently submissive and unable to fight back. At least three times, this led to death, even though Dahmer never meant for it to happen that way.
On August 5, 1991, more than 400 people came to a torch vigil to honor and heal the people of Milwaukee. At the gathering, there were leaders of the community, activists for gay rights, and family members of some of Dahmer's victims. The goal of the vigil, according to the people who planned it, was to let people in Milwaukee "share their pain and anger over what happened."
In November 1992, the Oxford Apartments at 924 North 25th Street were torn down. Dahmer had killed 12 people there. Now, there is nothing there. Plans to turn the land into a memorial park, a playground, or a place to build new houses have not come to fruition.
Lionel Dahmer is now retired and lives with Shari, who is his second wife. Both have kept their last names and said they still love Jeffrey, even though he has done bad things. In 1994, Lionel wrote a book called A Father's Story. He gave some of the money he made from the book to the families of the victims. Most of the families showed support for Lionel and Shari. However, three families later sued Lionel Dahmer: two for using their names in the book without getting permission first, and the family of Steven Hicks for wrongful death, saying that Lionel Dahmer, Shari, and his ex-wife Joyce were negligent parents.
Dahmer wrote in his will that he didn't want any services and that he wanted to be burned. Dahmer's body was burned in September 1995, and his ashes were given to each of his parents.
The families of 11 of Dahmer's victims who had sued for money were given money from his estate. In 1996, a lawyer for eight of Dahmer's families, Thomas Jacobson, said that Dahmer's estate would be sold at auction. Even though the victims' families said that greed wasn't the reason, the news caused a lot of debate. A civic group called Milwaukee Civic Pride was quickly set up to try to raise money to buy Dahmer's things and destroy them. The group pledged $407,225, which included a $100,000 gift from Milwaukee real estate developer Joseph Zilber, to buy Dahmer's estate. Five of the eight families represented by Jacobson agreed to the terms, and Dahmer's belongings were then destroyed and buried in an undisclosed Illinois landfill.
In November 2000, Joyce Flint died of cancer. Before she died, she had tried to kill herself at least once. David, Jeffrey's younger brother, changed his last name and now goes by a different name.
At 11:30 p.m. on July 22, Edwards waved down two Milwaukee police officers at the corner of North 25th Street. Officers saw that Edwards had a handcuff on his wrist. Edwards told the officers that a "freak" had put the handcuffs on him, and he asked the police to take them off. When the officers' lock keys didn't fit the brand of handcuffs, Edwards agreed to go with them to the apartment where, he said, he had spent the last five hours before escaping. When the cops and Edwards got to Apartment 213, Dahmer let them in and said he had put handcuffs on Edwards, but he didn't say why. At this point, Edwards told the police that Dahmer had also threatened him with a big knife, which had happened in the bedroom. Dahmer didn't say anything when he heard this. Instead, he told one of the cops, Rolf Mueller, that the key to the handcuffs was in the nightstand next to his bed. As Mueller walked into the bedroom, Dahmer tried to hand him the key so he could get it himself. The second cop there, Robert Rauth, told Dahmer to "back off."
Two weeks passed during the trial. On February 14, both lawyers gave the jury their final points. Each lawyer was given two hours to talk. The lawyer for the defense, Gerald Boyle, spoke first. Boyle kept bringing up the evidence of the mental health professionals, who almost all agreed that Dahmer had a mental disease. He said that Dahmer's compulsion to kill was caused by "a sickness he discovered, not one he chose." Boyle presented Dahmer as an extremely lonely and sick person who was "so out of control that he could no longer control his behavior." After the defense attorney's 75-minute closing argument, Michael McCann gave the prosecution's closing argument. He said that Dahmer was a normal man who was in full control of his actions and just wanted to stay out of trouble. McCann said that the murder was done out of hostility, anger, resentment, frustration, or hatred, and that the 15 people he was tried for killing "only died to give Dahmer a few hours of sexual pleasure." McCann also said that Dahmer was trying to get out of being responsible for his crimes when he said he was guilty but crazy.
At the corner of 27th and Kilbourn on July 15, Dahmer met Oliver Lacy, who was 24 years old. Lacy fell for Dahmer's trick of posing naked for pictures and went to his apartment with him. There, they tried out sexual action before Dahmer drugged Lacy. Dahmer wanted to spend more time with Lacy while she was still alive. After failing to make Lacy unconscious with chloroform, he called his workplace to ask for a day off. His request was given, but the next day, he was suspended. Dahmer strangled Lacy and then had sex with the body before cutting it up. He put Lacy's head, heart, and skeleton in the fridge and freezer, respectively. On July 19, four days later, Dahmer found out that he had been fired. When Dahmer heard this, he lured Joseph Bradehoft, who was 25 years old, to his flat. Bradehoft was killed and left on Dahmer's bed for two days, covered with a sheet. When Dahmer took these sheets off on July 21, he saw that the head was full of maggots. He then cut the head off the body, cleaned it, and put it in the refrigerator. Later, he put acid on Bradehoft's body and the bodies of two other people who had been killed in the past month.
