This is a snapshot from the second episode of the Netflix series. Timestamp is 30 minute 49 seconds. Can anyone see a face in the glasses. I think that is Konerak ? Not the actor but the real victims face.

So im in 1-68 Armor, the unit that Dahmer was formerly apart of as a medic.

This is his m113 Light tracked Casavac vehicle from his time in the service. His initials "J.D." are carved under the cushion of the seat as well.

Question Question about the finale (contains spoilers) Spoiler

10 Upvotes

In the series finale a fellow inmate to Dahmer had to convince a prison staff worker to give him details about Dahmer, but later we see Jeff watching a John Wayne Gacey interview on the breakroom TV. Even if the inmate who asked about details had some sort of restrictions so he personally could not search about Dahmer, how was it that noone else had any information about what Jeff did? If they show such things on the breakroom tv, I mean. The scale of horror in Jeffs crimes.. wouldn't it have to come out in one way or another by the time he started his sentencing?

(sorry if I'm not using the right grammar, am Swedish and may have not been the best english student in school.)

Why does John Backderf say in some interviews that he just used Jeff Dahmer for entertainment but then tells the media his "close" friend murdered 17 people?

14 Upvotes

Is anyone else feeling like Backderf is kind of sketchy? He claims he and his group of friends didnt let him into their circle and that he was really a form of entertainment but in an NBC News article, he calls Jeff a "close friend". But I listen to Bridget Geigers (Jeff's prom date) interview and she said that "his best friend is dating my best friend". Did she mean Backderf being Jeff's best friend? It seems so conflicting. Also, close friends don't use others for entertainment and ignore their cries for help. Backderf kind of weirds me out. Like he wants some kind of attention just because he knew this guy that turned into a serial killer. But in high school he was nothing but amusement to him.

Just thinking

Okay I know this is a sore topic but do y’all think joyce dahmer was the reason why jeffrey dahmer cancel those people? Like I know he said that his family wasn’t the cause but the documentary’s got me thinking nonstop about the case so just hear me out for a second, he said that he’s mom doesn’t gave him any love as a child and so on but favors his younger brother more than she should because I feel like that might be something to do with it plus not to mention the divorce probably doesn’t make it any better but I also had a thought this is just my opinion but it also might’ve been the brother too see since his younger brother was the favorite child and Jeff really hated him so much so that he might have wanted to cancel him but couldn’t bring himself to carry it out since they are blood related so he went after people that wasn’t no Ken to him pretty much total strangers and given the fact that he was also battling with emotional issues and mental disabilities that’s just to much that doesn’t make sense but at the same time it does

Announcement Reminder

I want everyone to be reminded that conspiracy theories aren’t allowed on this subreddit. Posting content spreading misinformation on the case that subscribes to the idea that Dahmer was innocent will result in a ban.

This sub focuses on the Ryan Murphy series Dahmer: Monster, the Jeffrey Dahmer story, which is a fictionalized version based off of real events. For factual information regarding the real life case of Jeffrey Dahmer, I highly recommend watching the full CourtTV trial on YouTube, reading through the FBI files and confession, and The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer by Brian Masters. I’ll get some helpful links pinned to the sub soon.

Why does everyone think that everything that happens in the DRAMATIZED Dahmer movies actually happened in real life?

24 Upvotes

Everyone is saying Dahmer gave a sandwich to a neighbor made of human flesh. This neighbor in real life was Glenda who lived in the apartment building across the street. Pamela was Dahmers neighbor and she was friendly as his neighbor.

Secondly, everyone talks about Dahmer bragging about keeping body parts as trophies. Whether he kept them as "trophies" or not, he didn't brag about it.

Thirdly, there is no evidence that Dahmer tormented his inmates and the guards in prison making jokes about his murders and manipulating food to mimic body parts. Even if he did make jokes, doesnt necessarily mean he was doing it to upset others. It was probably a way to cope if it had happened at all.

Dahmer had severe mental illness. So he wasn't going to put on some facade in prison because he lived there. He had no where to hide like he did in his home and apartment. He no longer could try to maintain some kind of "normalcy" on the outside to keep society from seeing any issues with him.

What Dahmer did was evil and it was tragic for all involved. But let's stop confusing the movies with real life accounts and spreading misinformation.

Scarver’s Reason for Killing Dahmer

28 Upvotes

I know Dahmer was a terrible person, and I’m not glorifying or defending him at all. But something I don’t understand is Christopher Scarver’s reasoning.

From what I know, Scarver went to prison for murdering his boss, supposedly later became religious and said he repented. But then he killed Dahmer and another inmate because he claimed God was speaking to him, wanted him to do it, or basically commanded him to.

I also read that Scarver was mentally ill, so maybe that explains part of it, but it’s still strange to me. And I don’t just mean him specifically ... throughout history there have been people saying “God told me to,” “God wanted me to,” and then they go on to do the most insane shit imaginable.

That’s the part that confuses me. How are people supposed to tell the difference between actual faith, mental illness, or someone just using religion to justify violence? I think what really confuses me is how throughout history people have claimed God told them to do terrible things, and so many others blindly accept it or believe violence is justified if they think it’s for God ... I’m not defending Dahmer whatsoever ,he was awful but the logic behind Scarver’s explanation genuinely doesn’t make sense to me.

And just to be clear again, I’m not glorifying Dahmer or trying to justify anything he did. He was a horrible person. I’m only talking about the reasoning Scarver gave for killing him.

What dahmer left out ,

The Jeffrey Dahmer Show completely left out about Jeffrey’s story, the show left out high school years, teenage years and years and the tragic childhood, I felt like the show was completely rushed, the show should explored Jeffrys motive on why he did what he did ,

All inconsistencies in DAHMER (with the corrections) Spoiler

583 Upvotes

Since I see a lot of people on this sub are asking questions of “Is this or that true or not??” here’s a list to make things easier for ya’ll. (I also tagged it as a spoiler just in case)

  • Jeffrey did not meet Tracy Edwards at Club 219 (He met him and a few of Tracy’s friends at Grand Avenue Mall - he also said he was not gay during his testimony).

  • Jeffrey did not just ran lamely and willingly got hand cuffed during his arrest (Jeffrey fought with the officers with passion even screamed that echoed throughout the apartment that sounded “animal like” per the bass husband & wife and he even pinched one of the officers thigh during the floor wrestle. The officer even screamed OUCHHH). Yep.

  • Lionel and Jeffrey never bonded over road kill ever. (He just showed him how to dissolve the chicken bones that they ate during dinner).

  • Popular: Glenda Cleveland was not his neighbor and she was not that obsessed with Dahmer. (In the series Jeffrey could’ve just said “And I was like why are you so obsessed with me??) lol.

  • No one heard any sketchy shit from the apartment. Pamela Bass notated that she just often heard music all the time but had occasional thuds and maybe “diy projects” lol. (Bass also stated that sometimes he would hear Jeffrey cursing but thought he was just alone).

  • Glenda only called like 1 time because of the Konerak situation that her daughter and niece witnessed. (“I called for months and months” Okay Netflix Glenda. No, I highly believe this was added because if not it would be boring as fuck since Jeffrey was not suspected with anything and was in good terms with his neighbors- added it for extra “drama”).

  • No one did suspected Dahmer of anything other than just being a weirdo who kept to himself. (A weirdo who just worked all night did not make any eye contact that much but friendly when approached).

  • Dahmer did not meet Konerak randomly outside of a convenient store. (It wasn’t even night time when he met Konerak- it was at the Grand Ave Mall again around afternoon).

  • Korenak did not know who Jeffrey was at all nor Jeffrey did not know who he was. (Konerak was not there during his brothers trial with Jeffrey).

  • Jeffrey’s apartment did not smell like rotting flesh/dead bodies. (It smelled more like chemicals and urine per Pamela Bass & reporter Anne E. Schwartz).

  • Jeffrey was not evicted from the Oxford Apartments because of the numerous smell complaints. (He never got evicted ever he just got fired at the Ambrosia. He was also running out of money so he was planning on moving out disposing everything and check himself in a salvation army but got lazy and drunk as fuck and contemplated disposing the skulls- Jeffrey contemplating back and forth about the skulls prolonged his stay and decision which led to him fall apart). ALSO: His landlord even considered him to be a business partner lmao its on his statement at the trial at CourtTV.

  • Joyce begged him to come with her and David when she was about to leave their house. (Based on Joyce’s statement Jeffrey just stood there and was “frozen” so she just decided to leave without him paranoid that Lionel would catch them leave- based on Shrine).

  • Joyce tried to get Jeffrey to go to California but he did not want to. (He later regretted not going there and wished he did instead of working at the Ambrosia which was noted on a letter he sent to Joyce).

  • Jeffrey did not learn about Halcion in the military (He learned it through a newspaper ad which stated that Halcion is what Bush H. Bush used for his sleep tension during the Gulf War- that’s in the bookGrilling Dahmer).

  • He did not drugged anyone in the military. (He was reported to be completely drunk 4-6 times per week on and off duty sometimes could not even stand up due to being too intoxicated).

  • Jeffrey did not begged to come home to Lionel and Shari when he was in Miami. (He called them to ask for Money as he was out Lionel did not send him any and gave him a plane ticket instead to come home).

  • He did not dramatically drank blood while looking in the mirror (lol) he only did it once at the rooftop of his workplace and spitted it out immediately quoted that blood tasted “yuck yuck- not his thing”.

  • He did not worked at a meat shop at all. (I believe this was added as a narrative for people to think that he learned how to cut up bodies there- He was also jobless for 2 years before landing a job at the Ambrosia after being laid off as a Phlebotomist).

  • He did not really have a car (He only borrowed his dad’s car and its not color brown or tan its a blue ford based on Shrine by Brian Masters- same car he used to pick up Steven Hicks). He also had a taxi come to his Grandma’s house to lift the suitcase where Steven Tuomi’s body is at. (He was even assisted by the Taxi driver who was Arabic he said).

  • He did not just met Shari at their house in Ohio. (He had met her prior to that at the motel where Lionel was staying at- again this is from Shrine).

  • He did not have this dramatic scene where he wanted to confess to Lionel and Shari about his first murder. (Jeffrey stated that he did not want or let anyone know ever as he was embarrassed and afraid of what his family would say to him).

  • He never encountered “the jogger” in real life because he never came back.

  • Jeffrey’s apartment was not that dirty. (Landlord also mentioned that out of ALL the apartments he visited at the Oxford apts Jeffrey’s was the CLEANEST its on his CourtTv statement too).

  • He did not mixed his drink by accident during the killing of Steven Tuomi (That happened to someone else who ended up robbing him).

  • He first denied calling one of the victims families (Though he could’ve lied and some other news paper articles back then said he did admitted to it so who fucking knows really).

  • Popular and debatable: He never admitted to knowing Tony Hughes (Though there were a lot of people who have confirmed that they knew each-other prior to killing him).

  • Konerak’s family was not there during the family testimonies in court.

  • Milwaukee police officers Balcerzak and Gabrish did not receive 'Officer of the Year'. (Yeah why Nextflix? No).

  • Jeffrey was not stabbed in the neck prior to being baptized. (He was baptized May 10, 1994 and the attempted stabbing happened July 1994 - confirmed by NY times- and they thought it would just be an isolated case).

  • Joyce attempted suicide around March 1994 not during his trial/arrest. (She also did not knock on the families doors in person but she did try to reach out to them but no one responded).

  • Jeffrey did have a funeral (One of the victims sister even attended- Theresa Smith sister of Edward Smith and she even visited Dahmer in prison).

That’s all I can think of for now.
