INTERVIEW
Today, in Stories Without Filters, we are pleased to introduce our guest . This interview will not be like the previous ones, it will be unique and deeply disturbing, as we are about to dive into the mind of one of the most infamous serial killers in history, Jeffrey Dahmer. -Hi, Jeffrey. It´s a weird pleasure to have you here today, the truth is. I'm not going to ask you too many questions because I simply don't have time, so we'll get to the point. Firstly, how are you, how´s everything? Hi, thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain what happened to everybody. Well, I guess I´m fine, as far as can be expected, having into account I will soon be in prison or probably dead. -You say it as if you didn´t deserve it, I mean, you are guilty, aren´t you? I suppose you are asking if I killed all those people, you know I did it, so yeah, I will go fairly to jail. But even though I did it, nobody wants to be there, its literally a place full of mad people that could kill me at any moment. I know I deserve to die, in fact I want the death penalty, but not in the hands of those people.
INTERVIEW
-Well, I understand you, it´s just a little funny that a serial killer like you talks about being afraid of dying. Aside from that, tell me a little about your beginnings. Where does this desire to kill come from? When did you start to feel that desire to end some people's lives?It all started in ninth grade, in biology, when we had the usual dissection of fetal pigs. When we ended with the experiment, I took the remains home and kept the skeleton. That´s when, I started branching out dogs, cats, etc. I just wanted to see what the insides of these animals looked like. Since then, I started having obsessive thoughts of violence and sex where I had the total control over my victims, but at first were fantasy, just imaginations in my mind. -Wow, it´s kinda strange that taxidermy could lead someone to develop an interest in dismembering corpses. I suppose that you, as well, did not understand the existence of that fantasy on your mind as you have called it, that´s why you didn´t tell nobody. But, as we have seen, at some point it became reality, you started experimenting with people. Let's talk about your first victim, what led you to do it? Why did you choose him, why him and not another?
INTERVIEW
Since I had 15, I had always imagined I meet a hitchhiker on the road and taking him hostage. Three years later, when I was 18 years old, I had the opportunity. I turned around picked him up and that’s when the nightmare became a reality. It was so bizarre to me that all the parts of the obsession were there and make it possible to happen, there was no other reason of why him and no other one.My parents were not at home due to their divorce, so I was alone with my victim. I didn´t plan what I was going to made him, I just drunk a lot and I acted on my fantasies, and that’s where everything went wrong. -So, you are saying that that experience killing your first victim led you to commit other murders, but this happened in 1978 and was not until 1981 that you assassinate again. Why you made reality your psychopath obsession but then you stopped for 9 years. Did you regret of having done it? Then why you didn´t confess, why you did it again? No, no, it just wasn´t an opportunity to fully express what I wanted to do. There was just not the physical opportunity to do it then. Was in the 81 when I moved to Milwaukee, I started reading pornography in bookstores and frequenting gay bars. And everything came back to my mind.
INTERVIEW
I brought a young man to the hotel room, and I was planning on drugging him and spending the night with him. I had no intention of hurting him, but when I woke up in the morning my forearms were bruised, and his chest also was. He had a broken rib and blood was coming out of his mouth. I have no memory of beating him to death, but I must have. All started again, obsession went into full and I couldn´t stop. -Not only you stopped for a while, but you also changed your manners of killing. Tell me something about the zombie state you tried to induce in one of your victims. What were you expecting to achieve, I mean, what was your goal? I tried to keep the person alive by inducing them into a zombie-like state, just because I wanted to experiment, I didn´t want them to stay alive forever. I would kill them later if it had work it. I just injected dilute acid into the brain of Nareta Kassadin, but was time-wasted, it never quite worked. -So, you started to treat your victims as if they were just objects from a collection? That´s why you kill them, because then they would be more “manageable”? In the moment I kill them, I stopped having to worry about any of his needs, or anything. I just had complete control of the situation.
INTERVIEW
And I didn´t kill them neither because I was angry with them, nor because they disturbed me. I just wanted to have them with me, as my obsession grew, I continued saving body parts, like skulls and skeletons. This is a process that does not happen overnight. When you personalize another person and see them as a simple object, instead of a breathing human being, it seems to make things that you shouldn't do easier. -It´s very curious how your mind went from seeing people to seeing objects that belonged to you, objects with which you could experiment in any way, do whatever you wanted with them. You said that as the number of victims increased, so did your obsession. Is that the reason why you started raping your victims? Did you also crave sexual control? I don´t know, I just wanted attractive boys, the more attractive the better. In my fantasies, sex had always been included, so I guess it just became to be real. I had my victim in front of me and I needed to satisfy my sexual longing. -And did you achieve what you wanted? Did that give you pleasure? Well, there was excitement, fear, pleasure… all mixed together. And that´s when cannibalism started.
INTERVIEW
Eating the heart and the arm muscle was a way of making me feel that they were a part of me, and it gave me a sexual satisfaction. At first it was just curiosity and then it became compulsive, it became indispensable in my way of ending the life of those victims. -You have explained us all what you did, but not why. Maybe could be related with a hard childhood, or that your parents didn’t give you enough attention, did they? There are also some theories that suggest you did it because of racist motives, as most of your victims were black. I want to know if there´s a specific reason that led you to act like this, have ever you wondered it? That´s the strange thing, I can´t pinpoint anything, no abuse, neither physical nor verbal. I had a normal childhood in a good home. To this day I don´t know what started it, something went awry in my thought life. But the person to blame is sitting right across from you, I´m the only responsible, not parents, not society, not pornography, those are just excuses. It was not racially motivated, was a sexual preference, the obsession with the best-looking young man I could find. And yes, I have asked me a lot what went wrong so all this ended happening, but I don´t have any answer, I just closed myself off and put on a mask of normalcy.
INTERVIEW
- You sound like if you were really sorry for what you did. But you weren't during these almost 20 years, were you? Was there any victim with whom you felt bad after killing her or him? And, at some point did you say I must stop now?Yes, now I am. I know all what I´ve done it´s horrible. At first, I thought about it every night, and I´ve often wondered why I haven´t had more dreams or nightmares about my victims. For some reason it´s blocked off from my mind. With my first victim I really regretted having done it, but the obsession with doing what I was doing overpowered any feeling of revulsion. After the second time it seem like the compulsion to do it was too strong. So even if I had wanted to stop, I wouldn´t have been able to. -¿And what about now, do you still have those obsessions, or have you completely redeemed yourself from that world? I wish I could say it just left completely but there are times when I still do I have the old compulsions. I am working with my psychologist to end with all this. -I´m sure you will, thank you for having answered everything Jeffrey.

At school he was rejected because he was not like the rest. It is said that he walked in a very particular way and that, at times, he imitated his mother and bleated like a sheep. He had no friends and those who approached him were laughed at. As an act of defence, Jeffrey tried to be the class joker, so that he would be the one to choose what they could laugh at, but this got him into a lot of trouble with his teachers. Most worrying, however, was his serious problem with alcohol at such a young age. This served as an outlet for the negative experiences of childhood and now adolescence, leading to an addiction that would haunt him throughout his life. The straw that broke the camel's back was the discovery of his sexuality. At that time it was already difficult to talk about homosexuality, and even more so for Dahmer, whose attention was drawn not simply to men, but to their corpses. The lack of communication in his family did not make it easy for Jeffrey to feel free to expose the demons that tormented him, so they never knew about his dark reality until the case blew up.
The 1992 Jeffrey Dahmer´s Trial is one of the most famous cases in United States history. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was charged with 15 murders and sentenced to life in prison. It was one of the first times in history that a serial murder case received so much media attention. During the trial, Dahmer's defense team argued that he was a mentally ill individual. Prosecution attorneys argued that Dahmer was aware of the nature of his actions and that he deserved appropriate punishment. Dahmer's defense also argued that he was a victim of society, a person who had been excluded and marginalized. The trial also highlighted the importance of mental health care for those with mental illness. In the end, the jury found Dahmer guilty of the charges against him. The Jeffrey Dahmer case was a breakthrough in the field of mental health care and crime prevention.
Dahmer's short stay in prison was marked by conflict. He was held in protective custody with limited interaction with other inmates, although he was given permission to eat, take classes and do work with other inmates after his first year. Dahmer joked about cannibalism, shaping his food into body parts and using ketchup to create "blood" while taunting guards and other inmates, whom he said he would bite. Prison pastor Roy Ratcliff recalled that Dahmer had a Cannibals Anonymous poster on his wall. Dahmer was murdered on 28 November 1994. He spent his last days in conversation with Herman Martin, an inmate whose cell was next door to Dahmer's. Martin later published a book that was received with mixed reviews. Christopher Scarver was Dahmer´s killer.
Joyce Dahmer, Jeffrey Dahmer's mother, had a complicated pregnancy. The contractions caused convulsions and, to stop them, the doctor prescribed several pharmacological products, including morphine, a medication that is currently known not to be given during pregnancy. When Jeffrey was born, the situation did not improve, as Joyce suffered from postpartum depression, an illness that causes an emotional disconnection from the newborn. However, Jeffrey was a happy child. Until, at the age of four, little Dahmer suffered numerous illnesses that forced him to stay in bed: infections such as pneumonia, casts on his legs to correct his posture, and he even underwent surgery for two hernias. The doctor visited him regularly, but no one explained to him what was happening to him to find himself like this. From this moment on, Jeffrey's attitude changed. He became an unfriendly, lonely and very introverted child, a character accentuated by the bad atmosphere that reigned in his house, since his parents argued constantly. He had no special interest in anything, until, at the age of seven, his father found a dead animal under the house while cleaning. Jeffrey's eyes lit up: he had found something he really liked. Since then, in the garden shed, young Dahmer dissected animals without knowing, of course, that this desire to investigate corpses would have terrible consequences. In addition, he dedicated himself to burying some of them, leaving their heads above the ground to scare his neighbors, a way to capture the attention that he did not receive from his family.
Jeffrey Dahmer killed a total of 17 people, some of them minors, from 1978 to 1991. More than a decade in which he raised no suspicion. He was going to get caught and, somehow or other, he knew it. Perhaps at some point he began to get bored, he was willing to take more risks. He was less and less careful with his victims. Sometimes he even left them home alone when they were still alive. In fact, on the day he was arrested by the police, when Tracy Edwards managed to escape, he didn't even make a big effort to stop him. He did not drug him, as he had previously done with all his victims, he simply placed a handcuff in one hand. Tracy Edwards was his only survivor, she managed to flee and alert the police. Dahmer was arrested in 1991 and that is when all the atrocities he committed were discovered.
