They smelled the foul odors. They heard the power saw buzzing in the dead of night. But neighbors never imaginzed the horrors happening right next door.
The hot sultry night of July 22, 1991, was one the tenants of the Oxford Apartments would never forget. A panic-stricken young man-a pair of handcuffs still dangling from his wrists-ran out of Apartment 213 and told police an incredible tale of terror.
Shaking with fear, he led officers back to his captor's lair, where they made a gruesome discovery. Inside were the body parts of at least fifteen men-including torsos stuffed in a barrel, severed heads in a refrigrator, and skulls boiled clean an dstashe din a filing cabinet. Tacked to the freezer were the Polaroid potographs of mutilated corpses.
When invetigators arrested 31-year old Jeffrey Dahmer, they realized they had stumbled onto a "real-life Hannibal Lecter" - a saidstic murderer who told them he had saved a human heart "to eat later." What could turn a handsome, former tennis player, the sone of middle-class parents, into a perverse serial killer whose unthinkable acts shoced the nation?
The Milwaukee Murders takes you into Jeffrey Dahmer's twisted world of bizarre sexual encounters, mutilations and cannibalism-in one of history's most appalling true crime cases.
