When one of his planned victims fled and led police to his apartment on July 22, 1991, he was apprehended. Inside, they found images of dismembered people, decapitated heads in the refrigerator, and a gruesome collection of human remains.
The youngster who used to play “fiddlesticks” naively had developed into one of America’s most notorious serial killers, Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, who was subsequently the subject of Netflix’s Monster.
On November 28, 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer, then 34 years old, was brutally murdered by a fellow prisoner.
Christopher Scarver, the prisoner who murdered Jeffrey Dahmer, said that he was commanded to do so by God.
When news of Dahmer’s death broke, his mother, Joyce, lashed out at the media, saying, “Now is everybody happy? Now that he’s bludgeoned to death, is that good enough for everyone?”
Reactions from the victims’ families were divided. Some expressed relief, while others said the news only deepened their pain. Catherine Lacy, the mother of victim Oliver Lacy, said, “The hurt is worse now, because he’s not suffering like we are.”
Reminding everyone that Dahmer’s murder was still murder, the district attorney who brought Dahmer’s case begged the public not to exalt Scarver.
