On May 21, 1960, Jeffrey Dahmer was born at Evangelical Deaconess Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.¹⁾

Jeffrey Dahmer received his high school diploma from Revere High School in May 1978. He then enrolled at Ohio State University to major in business but was dismissed after the first semester owing to his drinking problem and bad grades.²⁾

Dahmer lived in Morrill Tower, and some locals believe he is still haunting the building.³⁾

After dropping out of college, Jeffrey Dahmer joined the army. He received combat medic training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and was eventually dispatched to Baumholder, West Germany. He was only in the service for two years before being discharged honorably in March 1981. He was also discharged from the service due to his drunkenness.⁴⁾

Preston Davis, one of the army personnel he tormented, claimed that Dahmer would gloat about his first victim while he was inebriated.⁵⁾

Jeffrey Dahmer committed his first murder three weeks after graduating from high school. Dahmer killed Steven Hicks, an 18-year-old hitchhiker, by smashing the back of his skull with a dumbbell. Dahmer waited nearly a decade after this criminal encounter before killing his next victim.⁶⁾

David was named by Jeffrey Dahmer, his younger brother. They split up after their parents divorced in 1978. David has little to no knowledge because he officially changed his name to begin a new life. Only their father, Lionel Dahmer, revealed that David already has a job and a family.⁷⁾

Many performers inserted references to Jeffrey Dahmer in their lyrics, prompting listeners to condemn their older songs. Eminem's Bagpipes from Baghdad and Must Be the Ganja, Katy Perry's Dark Horse, and Kesha's Cannibal are a few examples.⁸⁾

Jeffrey Dahmer made a life by doing odd jobs. He worked in a delicatessen in Miami, Florida after serving in the army. Dahmer's subsequent job was as a phlebotomist at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center. Dahmer's most recent work was as a mixer at the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory in Milwaukee, where he kept one of his victims' heads in his locker.⁹⁾

Aviator glasses are what Jeffrey Dahmer wears. Because many serial killers donned aviator spectacles, this style of eyewear has been dubbed “serial killer glasses”.¹⁰⁾

He refused to wear his spectacles during the trial, according to his stepmother, because he didn't want to see anyone's face. Only when he was sentenced to 16 consecutive life sentences, or 957 years in jail, did Dahmer wear them.¹¹⁾

Bridget Geiger was Jeffrey Dahmer's senior prom date, but he abandoned her to meet his lover. Dahmer reappeared three hours later, though, and offered to take Geiger home. Despite Dahmer's mild inebriation, Geiger was safely sent home. A few months later, Dahmer admitted to Geiger that he was gay.¹²⁾

On May 10, 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer was christened in jail. On the same day, John Wayne Gacy, another serial murderer, was condemned to death by lethal injection. As if that wasn't enough, a solar eclipse occurred on this day.¹³⁾

Jeffrey Dahmer required booze to murder his victims because he didn't want to kill them. In his view, it was only a means to a goal.¹⁴⁾

Budweiser was sued by the relatives of Dahmer's victims. They alleged that the company's marketing contributed significantly to Dahmer's drinking, which resulted in his atrocities.¹⁵⁾
