Who was Jeffrey Dahmer?
Some say he was the devil incarnate. Others attempt a sympathetic, more banal picture, that of a timid boy next door. However as Roger ‘’Verbal’’ Kint (one of the main characters from the 1995 movie ‘The Usual Suspects’) had once said.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.” Behind the placid and sympathetic facade, was a shrewd, calculating, and cold-blooded who viewed his victims as prey and didn’t empathy .
Before the birth of the Milwaukee Monster, there was just Jeffrey, a weird, small-town boy from Wisconsin. Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, to Lionel and Joyce Dahmer.
He reportedly exhibited sadistic tendencies from childhood. In a 2004 interview with CNN, Dahmer’s father recalled how his son used to dissect animals for fun. “He cut them open to examine the insides of animals,” he was quoted as saying.
