Jeffrey Dahmer
Seventeen men and boys were killed and eaten by Jeffrey Dahmer in 1978-1991. When Dahmer was younger his parents think a double hernia surgery changed him. Before the surgery his parents described him as “happy and energetic.” After they said he was never that same happy child. As a result of this surgery he turned into a psycho. Jeffrey Dahmer is the most psychotic serial killer due to him committing necrophilic acts, trying to zombify bodies, and cannibalism.

The skin of these victims were fileted to fry.
Bodies were hacked up into chunks to be easier eaten.
He wanted the bodies to stay with him permitley.
Dahmer took a mummified skull to work with him at the chocolate factory. “That is how strong the desire was. I wanted to keep the person with me.”
He was always wanting to try new parts of the bodies and he was really excited to try the muscles. “It was big and I wanted to try it.”
Committing necrophilic acts, trying to zombify bodies, and cannibalism are all reasons why Jeffrey Dahmer is the most psychotic serial killer. Jeffrey Dahmer conducted sexual activity with deceased bodies. He also tried to turn the deceased bodies into zombies with different chemicals. Dahmer as well cannibalized some of his victims.

Robert Mann and Doug Owsley. Mann described the body parts coming in preserved, and at various stages decomposition that told the story of murder and dismemberment. For instance, according to Mann and Williamson (2007), Dahmer dismembered and crushed the bones of his first victim Steven Hick, before spreading the bone fragments in the back yard of his parents’ home. What I found interesting about this particular case is that even though he crushed his bones into very small bone fragments, Dahmer failed to hide what he had

After their victims were knocked out, both Dahmer and Bundy strangled a majority of their victims to death, and once they were dead, both killers followed their necrophiliac tendencies and performed sexual acts with the corpses. Furthermore, both Dahmer and Bundy believed that their victims were prized possessions and would dismember their bodies, in which they would keep certain “trophies”, such as a heart or a head, to remind them of their murders. Ultimately, while Dahmer and Bundy focused on different demographics and different luring techniques, both killers found joy in and shared their murderous tendencies. In conclusion, Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy were two of the most well known and odious serial killers during the 1970s. Both shared important childhood characteristics that shaped their violent tendencies and also shared the way in which they killed their victims.

When something is as momentous as murder, and as controversial as Jeffrey Dahmer’s spree, is publicized, people will take in popular standpoints, and align themselves into opinionated groups. Christopher Scarver, an inmate at Columbia Correctional Institution the same time as Jeffrey, admitted to being offended by Dahmer’s macabre sense of humor (Pearson). Dahmer’s humor consisted of taking prison meals and transforming them into faux bodies covered in ketchup blood, and saying “I bite” to scare wardens when they stood near him (Pearson). In a turn comparably terrible to Dahmer’s crimes, many civilians turned a blind eye to the damage he caused in order to humanize his actions. During his trial, there were many people in the courtroom in denial of their own repulsion towards Dahmer’s atrocities (Ullman).
