The reason wall-to-wall coverage of true crime stories seems to dominate TV news is arguably because of figures like the so-called "Milwaukee cannibal-murderer" Jeffrey Dahmer, who was arrested on this date in 1991. On that day, in his apartment, police found body parts and severed heads in his fridge, freezer, filing cabinet, even in a kettle, which contained decomposing hands and male genital organs ("fingers & dicks stew"). They also found a 57-gallon drum full of acid containing the torsos of three men. Dahmer quickly confessed to 11 murders, and later, to the killing and dismembering 17 people between 1978 and 1991. Dahmer also confessed to dripping acid on to their brains in unsuccessful attempts to "turn them into zombies". He was sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms in jail, but died in 1994 after another inmate beat him to death. Previously, Dahmer spent 10 months in prison for fondling a 13-year-old Laotian boy in 1988. Upon release, Dahmer was put on probation. Although he showed up at the probation office every month, his caseworker never visited Dahmer's home. When police were later called about a naked boy standing on the street, Dahmer convinced police that it was his gay lover, so the police declined to investigate. The boy, whose body was later identified in Dahmer's home, was the brother of the Laotian youth Dahmer molested in 1988. Three police officers were fired after the investigation. (Vid shows news report citing only 2) Dahmer's murderous rampage might have continued indefinitely had one of his victims not escaped. Running down a Milwaukee street with a pair of handcuffs dangling from one wrist, Tracy Edwards, 32, told police that Dahmer was trying to kill him. Dahmer was arrested without a struggle. He later briefed the authorities on his M.O.: he usually lured men from shopping malls and bars by offering them money to pose for pictures; after drugging them, he would strangle his victims and dismember the bodies. Often he boiled their heads to remove the flesh, and in at least one case, say authorities, he had anal sex with a cadaver.
