Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender who murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, Dahmer's crimes were distinguished by their particular horror — he drugged, strangled, dismembered, and in some cases consumed parts of his victims, preserving skulls and body parts as trophies in his apartment. Dahmer committed his first murder at age 18 at his parents' home in Bath Township, Ohio, killing hitchhiker Steven Hicks in 1978. After a period of relative calm he resumed killing in 1987, luring victims to his grandmother's West Allis home before eventually moving to the Oxford Apartments in Milwaukee where he committed the majority of his crimes. His killing spree came to an end on July 22, 1991 when victim Tracy Edwards escaped from Dahmer's apartment and flagged down police. Officers entered Apartment 213 and discovered evidence of Dahmer's crimes — including decomposing body parts, skulls, and photographs of his victims at various stages of dismemberment. Dahmer was convicted of 15 counts of murder in 1992 and sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms. He was beaten to death by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver at the Columbia Correctional Institution on November 28, 1994. The locations below represent the verified sites connected to his 13-year reign of terror.
