How Jeffrey Dahmer Almost Got Away With Murder
4. It Took Years To See The Kill Trophies He Kept In Plain Sight
Apartment 213 - a place with darker secrets than Josef Fritzl's basement, the Stanley Hotel and Area 51 combined - is the exact location where the lude, ludicrous and despicably macabre acts of murder and mayhem ensued.
Dahmer's apartment - which still stands today - serves as a reminder of the horrific acts that took place in the small town suburbia of Milwaukee. It was the epicentre for some of the criminal's most unsettling souvenirs, and, despite them hiding in plain sight, it took years for anyone outside of the poor unfortunate souls that ended up here to observe the evidence.
One of Dahmer's favourite things to do with the leftover body parts of the aforementioned victims - when not inseminating or utilising an acidic method to dispose of them - would be to cleanse them, giving them a more pristine demeanour and sticking them in either the freezer, fridge or simply just on his kitchen side.
Dahmer's method was simple, but incredulously effective. He would bring the boy or man back to his apartment, drug them, beat them, and then lobotomise them before filling the newly drilled hole with an unpleasant helping of muriatic acid.
Only after Dahmer was inevitably arrested would subsequent checks reveal a head in the refrigerator, three more in the freezer, and a mausoleum of 'guess what belongs to who?', which included preserved skulls, jars containing a variety of genitals and an extensive gallery of gratuitous Polaroids of his many victims.
