Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s lair terrified the neighbors with its strong stench of rotting flesh. The killer has often cited his love of grilled necks and a broken refrigerator as the combination that would cause the smell. But what was it like inside the infamous apartment at 213 Oxfords Apartments, North 25th Street, Milwaukee? The FBI’s public records provide a detailed description.
When the police entered the apartment serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, they would never have imagined what they would witness. At first glance, the inconspicuous apartment quickly transformed into something they will never forget. The stay itself wasn’t that special. She was inside a beige sofa, an armchair, an aquarium, a smaller old TV and a roll of carpet. The real surprise awaited them in the bedroom.
Three bodies in a barrel of acid and several heads in the refrigerator
The first thing that caught the attention of the police were the photographs of the corpses and bodies in the various stages of the autopsy on the bedside table. When they then ransacked the entire apartment with the emergency room, they found more and more horrific surprises. It was probably the biggest a barrel of hydrochloric acid which he used to dissolve the bodies of men and preserve their skeletons. According to contemporary documents Associated Press youinside this 57-gallon barrel, police found three dissolving torsos.
Total police in his second apartment FBI documents discovered body parts, various souvenirs, teeth, bones and corpses of 11 people. Some heads were in the fridge, some he dried or removed the flesh from the skulls and dyed them. The body parts were in the refrigerator for later use.
Police also found various knives and saws, a hypodermic needle or an electric drill. There was some supplies in the apartment ether and chloroformwhich he probably used to drug his victims.
Attempts to create your own zombies
In this apartment, Dahmer too he tried twice to create his own zombies, to satisfy his sexual needs for power over an inert body. First time at just fourteen Konerak Sinthasomfonemto whom he punched a hole in his head and poured acid into his brain while he was alive. It was probably a reaction to the fact that he almost ran away and betrayed him.
He tried his second time inject warm water into the victim’s head with a syringe. Jeremiah Weinberger († 23), who was involved in this attempt, ended up in a coma for two days and was subsequently strangled by Dahmer.
No wonder that with such a reputation it must have been difficult for the landlord to find a new tenant for the apartment. The entire condominium was demolished in November 1992 and nothing remains in its place.
