He later confessed that he committed his first murder shortly after his parents’ divorce in 1978 – a crime that went unsolved at the time. Discharged from the Army for alcoholism in 1979, Dahmer returned to Milwaukee five years later, where he was arrested for exhibitionism before serving 10 months in jail for fondling a minor. Upon being released in 1988, he got a job at a local candy factory and rented a small apartment. His neighbors soon began complaining of noxious odors and the whine of a power saw, which Dahmer explained by claiming that his refrigerator had broken and that he was building bookcases. In 1991, police responding to a neighbor's call found a bleeding and naked 14-year-old Asian boy who had escaped from Dahmer’s apartment. Laughingly referring to the incident as "a homosexual lovers’ spat," the officers returned the child to his death. Four more men and boys died before another victim escaped and flagged down a police car. Officers followed him to Dahmer's unit, where they discovered a charnel house. After getting them drunk or drugging them, Dahmer would photograph, strangle, and dismember his victims, most of whom were young Asian and African-American men. He eventually confessed to murder, necrophilia, and cannibalism. Charged with 17 killings, Dahmer pled insanity, but was convicted of all counts in 1992 and sentenced to 957 years in jail. contact the film producers: email web site design:
