Research Paper On Jeffrey Dahmer

The serial killer that I am doing my report on is Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey was born on May 21, 1960 and he had died on November 28, 1994. Jeffrey was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jeffrey was actually pretty normal up until the age of four. Jeffrey had to correct a double hernia which had caused a difference in his body and actions.
