Dahmer also started drinking at age 14, and by the time of his first killing at age 18, his alcohol consumption had spun out of control. He dropped out of Ohio State University after one quarter term, and his recently remarried father insisted that he join the Army. Dahmer enlisted in late December 1978 and was posted to Germany shortly thereafter. Initially, Dahmer's living arrangements with his grandmother were harmonious: he accompanied her to church, willingly undertook chores, actively sought work and abided by most of her house rules (although he continued to drink and smoke). [98] In early 1982, he found employment as a phlebotomist at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center. He held this job for a total of ten months before being laid off. [95] Dahmer remained unemployed for over two years, during which he lived upon whatever money his grandmother gave him. [99] Edwards claimed that the knife Dahmer had threatened him with was in the bedroom.

One day he went to a class with a Scotch, and Ms. Schmidt asked why he was drinking. "It's my medicine" was his reply, she said. The 2012 documentary The Jeffery Dahmer Files included fictionalized reenactments of Dahmer’s life (with Andrew Swant portraying him) along with real-life interviews with people involved with his cases.

The] world already has enough misery in it without my adding more to it. [from Albany Times Union; published on August 7, 1991] According to Dahmer, Tuomi's murder was a pivotal incident after which he did not try to control his compulsions. [124] He began to actively seek victims, most of whom he encountered in or around gay bars and would typically lure them to his grandmother's home. He would drug his victim with triazolam or temazepam before or shortly after engaging in sexual activity with them. Once his victim was unconscious, he strangled them to death. [125] [126]
I had these obsessive desires to wanting to control them … possess them permanently,” Dahmer said, according to Inside Edition. “As my obsession grew, I was saving body parts such as skulls and skeletons.”
Murphy added: “We relied very, very heavily on our incredible group of researchers who – I don’t even know how they found out a lot of this stuff. But it was just like a night and day effort to us trying to uncover the truth of these people.” While awaiting sentencing for his sexual assault case, Dahmer again put his grandmother’s basement to gruesome use. In March 1989, he lured, drugged, strangled, sodomized, photographed, dismembered, and disposed of Anthony Sears, an aspiring model. Dahmer found Sears particularly attractive and later said he did not want to “lose him,” and so Sears became the first victim from whom Dahmer kept preserved body parts for a long period of time, mummifying his head and genitals, according to Masters.

[258] This request was granted and Dahmer gradually devoted himself to Christianity and became a born-again Christian. On his father's urging, he also read creationist books from the Institute for Creation Research. [297] In May 1994, Dahmer was baptized by Roy Ratcliff, a minister in the Church of Christ and a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University whom he had met on April 20. [298] This service was conducted in the prison whirlpool. [299] [300] A four-part docuseries called My Son Jeffrey: The Dahmer Family Tapes begins streaming on September 18, 2023, on Fox Nation. It includes never-before-released audio recordings of Dahmer, including phone conversations he had with his father, Lionel, while in prison. According to Court TV, Dahmer said in one recording that he fully intended to keep killing if he hadn’t been captured: “I was so wrapped up in what I was doing. I felt I was gonna continue doing that for the rest of my life.” In other recordings, Lionel asked if he has tried praying to God, and Dahmer replied he hadn’t because it made him “feel uncomfortable.” Quotes In January 1985, Dahmer was hired as a mixer at the Milwaukee Ambrosia Chocolate Factory, where he worked from 11p.m to 7a.m. six nights per week, with Saturday evenings off. [102] Shortly after he found this job, an incident occurred in which Dahmer was propositioned by another man while reading in the West Allis Public Library. The stranger threw Dahmer a note offering to perform fellatio upon him. Although Dahmer did not respond to this proposition, [103] the incident stirred in his mind the fantasies of control and dominance he had developed as a teenager, and he began to familiarize himself with Milwaukee's gay bars, gay bathhouses, and bookstores. He also stole a male mannequin from a store, [104] which he briefly used for sexual stimulation, until his grandmother discovered the item stowed in a closet and demanded that he discard it. [105]
