Upbringing

Probation ended: Received one year probation and charged with disorderly conduct prior for performing sexual actions in front of 2 12 year old boys

Marriage/Children

Dahmer offers money to 14 year old Konerak Sinthasomphone. He drugs the child, as he did with almost all of his victims, and performs oral sex while he is unconscious. The child stumbles out of Dahmer’s apartment, bleeding from the anus, and is spotted by two girls, who call the police. The police investigate, as the calm Dahmer explains that Konerak is his 19 year old lover. The police leave, and Konerak is later murdered and dismembered. (He kept the skull).

First Kill:

In June of 1988, Dahmer picked up hitchhiker Steven Hicks (19 years old). He brought Hicks back to his father’s home. The two drank and engaged in sex. While Hicks was leaving, Dahmer hit him in the head with a weight and killed him. Afterwards, Dahmer cut the body into several pieces and buried him in the woods. Years later Dahmer came back to the burial site, dug it up, crushed the remains, and scattered them around the woods; covering his tracks.

and pose for pictures. Dahmer convinced the boy to partially disrobe, took two

Polaroid pictures of him, kissed his stomach, and touched his penis. The boy was

drinking Irish Cream Liqueur laced with crushed tablets of Halcion. The boy did

not fall asleep, so he returned home, and his family took him to the hospital.

Second "Kill":

Dahmer picked up 25-year-old white male, Steven Tourmi, at a gay bar called

Dahmer awoke, he said Tourmi was dead and blood was coming out of his mouth.

Dahmer stated he could not remember the previous night’s events. Dahmer bought a suitcase and put the corpse in it. He returned to his grandmother’s basement where he had sex with the corpse, masturbated on it, and sliced the flesh off of it. He then proceeded to dismember the remains, put them into plastic bags, and throw them away. (remains have never been found)
