Twenty-five years ago, the cannibal serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer met his own demise. Beaten to death Nov. Dahmer told them that one night he was “going back to the beach.
To the place where I had, you know, my sleeping area set up, and there were some other guys there, and they, I almost got knifed ‘cause they didn’t know who I was. They thought I was trying to rob them or something.”He also told his interviewers File 2, pages 183-184: “I would hate going back to the beach to sleep. And so I’d stay up drinking till maybe 3 in the morning, and this one time I got mugged. The guy took a hundred from me.”Because he was living in Florida at the time 6-year-old Adam Walsh was infamously abducted from a Sears store at the Hollywood Mall and beheaded, Dahmer was asked in the same prison interview whether he had anything to do with the boy’s death.“Nothing.
Nothing,” Dahmer said, mentioning that he’d come clean about other killings “to clear my conscious of everyone,” so “it wouldn’t make any sense to be trying to hide that.” Transcript of 1992 interview with Jeffrey Dahmer in which he was asked about the abduction and killing of 6-year-old Adam Walsh. FBIWhen one of the interviewers said maybe he didn’t want to admit killing a child, given that Florida had the death penalty, Dahmer said he wanted to die. “If that would get me the death penalty I’d, I’d admit to it,” he said.One of the interviewers told him File 2, pages 186-190, “We want the right person that’s responsible for his murder.”Dahmer also was asked whether were there “any events in your childhood that you attribute to you for becoming a serial murderer?”“No, none,” he said.“The alcohol?” an interviewer asked.“It’s still a mystery to me, you know, lots of people are big drinkers, and they don’t go out and do this. I don’t know,” Dahmer said.
