Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, one of the deadliest serial killers in history, murdered 17 people between 1978 and 1991. How did he go more than ten years without being discovered? Nobody knows (aside from his neighbor, who literally warned the police about him with no success).
In Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a new limited series on Netflix, Dahmer is the main subject. True crime fans will learn about his crimes up close, how he lured men to his apartment, and about Glenda Cleveland, a brave woman who sought to alert authorities to Dahmer’s suspicious conduct.
Even though there are still many unresolved concerns about Jeffrey Dahmer‘s motives, some things will never be fully understood. Here is what we know about one of the most infamous serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer’s Brother David Dahmer.
David Dahmer: Who Is He?
The younger brother of American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is David Dahmer. According to Distractify, the Dahmers actually let Jeffrey name his younger brother, David when he was born. He is more than six years younger than Jeffrey.
How Did Life Go In The Dahmer Home?
The Dahmer’s relationship was already tumultuous before David was born.
According to The Cinemaholic, Lionel, Jeffrey, and David’s father, were frequently away from home due to work, and Joyce had a mental disorder. Additionally, there was considerable conflict between the brothers since Jeffrey believed David received more attention from their parents. In fact, according to The Sun, Jeffrey soon began to “resent” David.
When Joyce and Lionel divorced in 1978, Jeffrey and David also ended their relationship. After winning custody, Joyce brought her younger son, who was 12 years old at the time, to live with her in Wisconsin, according to HITC. Before killing his first victim, Jeffrey, then 18 years old, spent a few months living with them in their house, according to The Cinemaholic.
By the time Jeffrey was detained in 1991, David had earned his degree from the University of Cincinnati in Ohio. He made the understandable decision to “break all links” with his brother and skipped his trial and hearings, according to The Cinemaholic.
David Dahmer: What Happened To Him?
As of June 2004, the last time there was a public update on David Dahmer, he had a career and at least two kids. The stepmother of Lionel and David, Shari, went on Larry King Live and said very little about her younger stepson, according to Distractify.
According to various reports, Lionel also revealed that David had changed his name, and that was the last time the family had discussed David in public.
And David, who now goes by a different name, has remained silent.
What Is The New Name Of David Dahmer?
CheatSheet says that David Dahmer’s new name is unknown, but it is clear that he wanted to live his life without being known.
Who is Jeffrey Dahmer?
He was born to Lionel and Joyce Dahmer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 21, 1960, and had a regular upbringing. His parents soon noticed that he was less interested in activities, getting farther away, and preferred to be alone.
He took part in typical high school extracurricular activities, such as music and intramural sports. He did admit, though, that at the tender age of 14, he had begun to fantasize about murder and necrophilia. Later, after joining the army, he was honorably discharged.
