Jeremiah Weinberger Research Paper

The crime that was committed was necrophilia and murder. The male victim was Jeremiah Weinberger, a 25 year old Chicago native of caucasian and Puerto Rican descent. He worked as a customer service representative in the video sales department of a cinema. He lived in a apartment on the north side of the city with his friends. His social status was middle-class, and his criminal history is unknown. Amongst his activities were going to gay bars at night in Chicago. The crime was committed at 213 Oxford Apartments, North 25th Street, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a sexual homicide, as the perpetrator performed necrophilia (committing sexual acts on the corpse of a deceased person). The unsub (unsub or unknown subject) may have chosen

The victim was the opposite, he was likeable and easy going, and the unsub saw this as an opportunity to get a victim with

After the unsub killed Weinberger by strangling and lobotomizing him, he got rid of the body by dumping it into a barrel full of acid he most likely kept somewhere near his residence or where he worked, and probably bought at a hardware store without raising suspicion. Before he did this, however, he spent time with the deceased victim and performed necrophilia and most likely took polaroids of the dismembered body so he would be able to remember what he did with the body. After he disposed of the body by putting it into a gallon barrel of acid, the unsub most likely went on with his day, probably not feeling bad about the crime he just
