Tracy Edwards walked out of Apartment 213 at 924 North 25th Street on the night of July 22, 1991 with a handcuff hanging off one wrist and flagged down a squad car. The officers went back with him. They opened the refrigerator. Everything in these two volumes follows from that half hour.
This is the Milwaukee Police Department's own file on the investigation: 243 pages of detective reports, suspect data forms, incident and continuation reports, inspection reports and custody records, written in the order things happened and in the language officers use to each other. It is the paperwork of the case, not an account of it.
Two things in it are harder to read than the rest. One is the May 1991 episode in which officers returned fourteen-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone, naked and bleeding in the street, to the man who said he was his boyfriend. The other is the plain administrative fact, recorded without comment, that Dahmer was under supervision as a registered sex offender the whole time.
This is not a confession, whatever the filenames on the circulating scan suggest, and Dahmer does not speak anywhere in it. Twenty-one pages sampled across both volumes produced no question-and-answer markers at all and no speaker labels. Where his statements appear they appear inside an officer's write-up, in that officer's words and ordering, which is a different kind of document from a transcript and cannot be quoted as though he said it. For his own words there is the forty-page question-and-answer statement in the interviews section of this archive, taken under complaint number 91-56073.
What officers write for each other is not what an agency writes for the public, and that is the value of it. The file is in the order things happened, in police shorthand, and it carries the department's assumptions as they stood at the time rather than as they were judged afterwards, including the errors. The May 1991 report on Konerak Sinthasomphone is in here. So is the routine administrative fact, recorded without comment anywhere in these pages, that Dahmer was under supervision as a registered sex offender throughout.
A municipal government record, public domain, nothing to clear. Our copy came from a public archive that hosts a scan of it, which is a copy host and not a custodian; certified copies come from the Milwaukee Police Department records division, quoting complaint number 91-56073.
Most of these 243 pages are printed forms, and a scanned checkbox grid produces rows of field labels rather than sentences, which is why this file needed more work than any other document here. Fifty-five pages are unreadable from edge to edge and are listed below rather than printed. Inside the pages that are printed we cut the repeating form furniture, and where the scanner had welded a smear of noise onto the front of a real sentence we cut the smear and kept the sentence. A cut of that kind stops dead at any date, case number or name, so nothing carrying a fact was ever removed, and a line with three or more ordinary lowercase words in it was kept as narrative no matter how it scored, which is what protects the detectives' own reports: their surnames are typed in capitals and would otherwise drag every sentence they wrote under the threshold. A dozen short passages that came through as characters rather than words, a signature block, a fee line, a criminal-history access warning shredded by the scanner, are not printed either; nothing that read as a sentence was left out.
The pages not printed. Volume one: 1 to 11, 13 to 18, 21 to 23, 25, 26, 29 to 31, 33, 34, 37 to 43, 45 to 51, 53, 56 to 60, 63 and 104. Volume two: 38, 61, 85, 102, 112 and 113. They are the intake and routing paperwork of the case, and what they record in readable form appears again elsewhere in the file. Every page that is printed keeps its own number as a heading so any passage can be cited back to the original.

ace ——. HOMICIDE (STABBING) 07-23-91.
ax Nee On Tuesday, 07-23-91, I, Detective KENNEDY, of Squad 126, while investigating the above incident and filing reports down on the 4th fl., of the CBI, was given a message, by the head jailer in LUCAD, that the suspect in this offense, one Jeffrey DAHMER, had requested to speak with me again.
where I went to the cell, where DAHMER, the suspect was sitting. At this time I asked if he had in fact requested to see me again, and he stated “yes I did". At this time myself. and Det. Dennis MURPHY, escorted DAHMER back down: to the 4th floor, CBI, to an interview room, where we conducted the following investigation. At this time DAHMER stated that he wish to talk to us about an additional two Homicides that he forgot to mention in the original interview. This information was given to Det. MURPHY, and he will file a separate detailed supplement regarding this.
Also during this interview I asked DAHMER what substance was sprayed on some of the skulls, which were found in his apartment, as the Medical Examiners stated there appeared to be a paint like substance on three of the skulls. To this DAHMER stated he had gone to the Pallette Shop, which is an Art Store, located on South Water St. He states at the store he purchased some enamel spray paint, type of color being fake granite.
When asked why he used this spray paint on the skulls, he stated he sprayed them in order to give them an artificial look, in case someone would see them, they would feel they were not real. Upon asking him which skulls he did spray, he stated the black male which he met on 27th St., was one of the skulls, the mixed mulatto male which he met at LaCage, on West National, was the 2nd skull sprayed and a black male prostitute which he picked up in front of 219 S. 2nd was the 3rd skull he sprayed. At this time I also questioned DAHMER, regarding the numerous boxes of Soilex, which is a cleaning powder that was found in his apartment. To this he stated that he used the Soilex, along witha water solution to boil the heads which he had decapitated from his victims. He stated the Soilex would effectively boil off the skin and hair from the skulls, in about an hours time. He also stated one of the torsos that he had taken from a victim, he had also boiled ina large _ kettel, which he kept in the Soilex. At this time I also questioned DAHMER regarding the Homicide investigation of Dean VAUGHN, who also resided
ae lacy, Oliver roean'G2a North 2oth Stkeete Dish nee eee oy vague y floor. To this DAHMER stated that he recalled several months ago, a Detective coming to his apartment to question him regarding the Dean VAUGHN Homicide. He states, he in no way had anything to do with this. He states when the Detective came to his door, he felt that he was sure he was going to be apprehended for-the numerous Homicides, which he has already admitted to. However, when the Detective began speaking of a black male, by the name of Dean VAUGHN, he was relieved, as he knew he had nothing to do with that and he told the Detective so. He states he had nothing to do with the VAUGHN Homicide and since he has already admitted to several other Homicides, he would not be afraid to admit if had participated in that offense. At this time there was one other question, which I asked DAHMER and that was pertaining to the fact, that numerous types of ether were: found in his apartment, and to this he stated that he had brought the ether in an attempt to use it on some of his victims, after he had drugged them, to attempt to keep them ina sleep like state longer, however, he stated that the ether did not work very well and only made them slightly intoxicated or high, and didn't put them to sleep.
At this time my part of the interview of DAHMER was terminated.

Report per: Det. Patrick KENNEDY.
On Wednesday, 7-24-91, at approximately 8:30 A.M., I, along with Det. Patrick KENNEDY, were notified by the jail that the suspect in this offense, Jeffrey DAHMER, requested to speak to us regarding this investigation. a We proceeded to the County Jail where he was taken from the cell and conveyed;
just wants to talk to us regarding this investigation.
report will be called in reflecting his statements to these questions.
We asked Jeffrey some additional questions regarding the first homicide that occurred in Bath, Ohio, and he stated that prior to that he had just started drinking when he was 17-years old..He states his friends were straight that he knew of. He states he had a friend named Jeff SIX, and they all smoked marijuana in high school. He states that he did not know of any friends being gay, but that he, himself had homosexual tendéncies and had never gone out witha girl or had sex with any females.
He states his first homicide which occurred, he believes around October of 1978, was of a white male hitchhiker, whom he describes as 18-yoo., §'10" tall, skinny build, maybe 150 Lbs., having straight brown collar length hair, not wearing glasses, clean shaven, and he believes he was not a homosexual, He states he didn't have sex with this individual, he just invited him in fora drink, and when the individual wanted to leave that's when he hit him witha "barbell" and subsequently disposed of the body behind _ his residence. He states he did burn his clothes and identification.
He again went through the various places that he lived, and after joining the Army in 1979 and being discharged in March of 1981, where he was a Field Medic in the Army he moved.to Miami and left about October of 1981.
He states that he then went back to Bath, Ohio, and lived there until around He states he then moved to Milwaukee with his grandmother from about December of ~

goes-on to relate, that there was three other homicides at his grandmother's location, and the rest were at his present address,
He states the reason there were no homicides from 1978 to 1984 was because he was busy with what he was doing. He said he was busy in the Army and after work he'd go out drinking with the guys, and then go to bed and get up and work. He states when he went to Florida he was too busy, and when he arrived in Milwaukee he was too busy until he discovered the gay bars. He further states that he did not have a homosexual relationship while he was ‘in the Army or in Florida. He states the first experiences started after arriving in Milwaukee and going to the gay bars. He states that he would not maintain a relationship with the individuals whom he had sex with, and most of them were one night stands. He states he enjoyed the company of these individuals, but did not like to see them go.
After the murders started, he states that being with these other homosexuals gave shim pleasure and he preferred them alive, but if they wanted to leave and he couldn't have them alive then he would have them dead and that's why he would dismember them and save either their skulls or other body parts. He states that the victim, whose right biceps he had eaten, was one that he cared for and the individual had big biceps. He stated that he put Cristo on the biceps, softened it up witha meat tenderizer, and then fried it ina skillet. He states he also saved this individuals heart in the freezer, and a portion of an arm from the black male that he had met at a bookstore about 1-year ago. He states he did intend to consume these parts.
also states that he had killed the individuals he had anal and oral sex with the victim's after death, but not all of them. He states that when he was in high school he had fantasize about killing someone, but it did not take effect until 1978, the first time, and then later on 1984, in Milwaukee...
asked him why he just didn't have oral or anal sex with the individuals while
ORDERED To ncce they were alive and.let them go, and he stated because he didn't want to loose them and g that the death and dismemberment led-to the excitement and gratification. We then asked him if he had ever talked to a psychiatrist, and he stated that he talked
CROWLEY, who works for the Social Services a couple of times, possibly 2 or 3 times, in the past month or so. He states that Dr. CROWLEY had prescribed medication for him, but he states he didn't get any because he felt he didn't need it, Oo He also states that he-was fired from his job on July 7, 1991, and he had known the week prior that he was going to get fired and he feels this is the reason why the killings escalated because he was alone at night and did not want to be alone. He had no company and felt that these individuals would keep him company.

those he has killed, that he would like to help the police in any way that he can by trying to identify his victims, — Report dictated by Det. Patrick KENNEDY.
i On Thursday, 7-25-91, I, Det. KENNEDY, along with Det. Dennis MURPHY, did receive information from LUCAD that the suspect in this: offense, that being Jeffrey DAHMER, had requested to speak with us. At this time, I proceeded to LUCAD and retrieved the suspect, Mr. DAHMER, from his cell, and returned with him to the fourth floor, CBI, where he was placed into an interview room, and we again began to talk.
At this time, Jeffrey DAHMER began speaking regarding his early teenage and high school years in Bath, 0H. Jeffrey Stated that asa teenager of 15 or 16, he realized that he was. a homosexual. He stated that he has never been interested in women, and he had no idea why he was a homosexual, but that he distinctly remembers that in high school, and during his teenage years, he became acutely aware of the fact that he was only attracted to men,.
also stated that it was at this time that he began to have fantasies of killing human beings. He stated that at this time, he also began picking up animals which he had found on the road, which had been killed apparently by vehicles, and he would bring them home to his house, and he would use a knife in order to cut them up, and cut them open to see what was on the inside of them and what they looked like. He stated that several of the animals that he cut up, he would completely strip down the flesh and meat areas, and then use bleach and various other liquid which he found around his household, and experiment to see which ones would clean the bones the best., He stated that it was also at this time that he actually found a large dog that had been hit by a car and that he brought this dog home, cut it up, looked at its inside, completely cleaned it, and then soaked the bones ina bleach solution, and that he eventually planned to reconstruct the bones and mount the skeleton, much the way a taxidermist would do it. He stated; however, that he never got around to doing this.
He also stated that during this time that he was cutting up animals, he would fantasize what it would be like to cut up a human being. He stated that he realized at this i early age that his homosexual fantasies and his fantasies of killing and dismembering -human beings were interlocked, and that he received gratification from these fantasies and they occurred many times. He stated that whenever he had fantasies of homosexual activity, _ he also had fantasies of killing and dismembering. He goes on to state that he felt that
road killed animals and the cutting of them up, satisfied his urges and a his fantasies of killing and dismembering human beings.
He goes on to state that after leaving home in Bath, 0H to join the Armed Forces, that while in the Army, he was stationed in Germany. When asked why his behavior of cutting up animals and killing and dismembering of human beings did not occur while he was in the Army, he stated that he believes the reason he did not kill or dismember any one while he was serving his tour of duty in Germany, was because he enjoyed the structure of the Army. He stated that during the entire tour of duty, he lived on base and was ina dorm with three other men. Although he did not have any homosexual or heterosexual relationships while he was in Germany, or in the Army, he did satisfy his urge for sexual excitement by masturbation. He stated that he enjoyed the Army and wished that he could have finished his entire tour of duty; however, his abuse of alcohol made that impossible f as the Army decided to let him go six months before his tour of duty was up.
When questioned about bodies dismembered and found in Germany during the time he was there, Jeffrey said that he remembers reading in the newspapers in Germany about a black female who was found beheaded and dismembered and left ina field. He related that this was big news at the time, and this is the only reason why it rings a ble] with him. He.
denied being involved in any of those homicides and indicated that he is not at all interested in females, either sexually or for the purpose of dismembering. He stated that he is only interested in having a relationship with men.
Jeffrey stated that when he was released from the Army, he stated that he was tired of the cold winters that he had endured in Germany and when he was growing up in Ohio, and with the voucher given to him by the Army, he could go anywhere in the United States that he wished, so he stated that he took a voucher for Miami, FL, because he thought it would be nice with the warm weather all the time. He indicated that the entire time that he was in Miami, FL, he did not engage in any homosexual activity, nor did he kil] or dismember anyone while he was down there. He stated that he was continually busy trying to make ends meet financially while in Miami, and this is the reason why he had no time to engage in this activity. Jeffrey stated that he, at one time, was actually living on the beach because of tac f of funds, and this was eventually the reason why he moved back.to the midwest, so that
first moved in with his grandmother in West Allis, he decided to make a concentrated effort to find some direction in his life. He went on, to state that he constantly felt lonely and empty without direction, and that there was no ineaning in life for him, His grandmother was a religious women, that being protestant, and a regular church gore and talked to him several times about religion and how it could turn his life around.
went on to state that when he first moved to West Allis, he had continual fantasies again about homosexuality, and that along with the homosexual fantasies, came the urges to want to dominate, to kill, and to dismember other men. He stated that he constantly fought this urge by attending church with his grandmother, by reading the Bible, and by trying to live his life in an orderly fashion, "to walk the straight and narrow" are the words in which he used. He said he constantly had the interlocked feelings and fantasies of homosexual behavior, killing, and dismembering, and that they finally overcome him as he was finding it more and more impossible to continue with the life style of "church going and right living"
At this time, I questioned Jeffrey regarding the skeleton ‘bones which were found in the file cabinet in his bedroom. He stated that this was victim number seven, the black male that he met in Dec, of 1990 by the bookstore on N. 27th St. He said that this is the only victim that he stabbed in the neck in order to kill him. He stated that the reason he did this is because the potion that he had given him of sleeping pills and alcohol was beginning to wear off and that the individual was rather strong and muscular, and he did not feel that he would be able to strangle him successfully without putting up a fight; so he took a knife and stabbed him once along the jugular vein in order to kill him. He stated that because this individual was the most attractive that he had met up until that time, he decided to clean and boil the entire skeleton in the solution of water and soilex and to save it. The reason he did this was to keep this individual with him as long as possible, Regarding victim number ten, tentatively identified as Error LINDSAY, Jeffrey stated.
his victims that he completely took the skin off of. He Stated that this was done witha very small, very sharp paring knife and that it took him approximately two hours to completely take all the skin off this victim, while leaving intact the cartiladge, ligament, and flesh muscular areas. - ie “When talking about his personal relationships, Jeffrey stated that he really has no
MOLDADCEE POLTEE OEPARTHENT testi artnet ace ae 5-91. see gt 51761 /N247 wang close friends and that he is basically a loner. He stated that he is a loner by choice, J and that he has never had any success in continuing any long-range relationships. He stated that he has had friends while he was in high school, but never any best friend that he would continually hang around with. He stated that he likes to be alone, and he especially likes to be alone when he kills people and cuts them up because it makes him feel more secure and more dominant.
that he realizes what he has done warrants the death penalty; however, he is not sure that he really wants to die as punishment for his offenses. He stated that when he was younger, he started cutting up animals, and he enjoyed the excitement of cutting them up, and that he wished now that he would have just coni tinued to cut up animals and would have stopped with them and not have moved on to human beings. He felt that he originally only started it for the curiosity.,, At this time, I questioned Jeffrey regarding the celebrate DRESSLER murder trial which is going on now in Waukesha County regarding the death of an individual by the name ‘Ts roof MADDEN. He stated that he is aware of this trial only because he has read it in the paper; but he emphatically denied knowing DRESSLER or MADDEN and stated that he has had no part in that homicide.;
Regarding smaller children, Jeffrey stated that although he has been convicted of exposing himself to younger children, and that he has tried to take pictures of minors, ‘| that he has no sexual desires to be witha younger child, that he has never attempted to entire a smaller child for sexual purposes, and that he was strictly sexually excited by and attracted to young men of any race or ethic persuasion from the early teens to the late twenties.
It should also be noted that during this interview and the interview that took place on 7-24-91, several photographs taken from our Identification Division were shown to Jeffrey and he was asked if he has ever met these individuals or if they were in fact any of his victims. These photographs were picked specifically because the individual in the photograph was known to still be alive and it should be noted that each photograph which was shown to him where the individual in the photograph was still alive, Jeffrey stated "I've never seen this man before, and he is definitely not one of my victim's," _ It was at this time that the interview

He stated that he just wished to talk about the feelings he had regarding the confession that he had made about all of his victims and his apprehension as to the court appearance he was to make later on in the afternoon. At this time I stated that I would be willing to listen to any comments that he had to make.
He states that the realizes that there is no way he can change anything in regard to what he did to his victims. He also states that he realizes it would be impossible to make amend for the crimes and offenses he has committed towards these people; however, he feels that the only way for him to make a new start in his life is to make a clean breast of things and to be fully honest. He states that he feels this is what he did and he knows it is the only way he can change his life. He states that he knows that this will not change any of the things that he did but that maybe by telling the truth he can start to make things right and put at ease the minds of his victims' relatives. He also stated that he felt that the only way he could start to change his self was to admit exactly what he had done, to state that he is sorry for what he has done and to swear that he will try to change his life in the future.
this time I was advised by Detective Dennis MURPHY that we were to transport the suspect Jeffrey DAHMER to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Dept. jail area, and we then walked him to the jail area and turned him over to Deputy SCHUH (phonetic) at the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Dept. for his court appearance.

O- Monday, 07-29-91, I, Detective KENNEDY, along with Det. Dennis MURPHY, were con tacted by Deputy MALLICK (phonetic), of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Jail. He stated at this time, which was approximately 9:45am, that the suspect, Jeffrey DAHMER, had requested to speak with us.
proceeded to the jail after obtaining an order to produce and returned with the suspect to the 4th floor CBI and placed Mr. DAHMER in an interview room. At this time Mr. DAHMER stated that he did, in fact, wish to speak with us regarding the offense, I advised Mr. DAHMER that I had some further questions regarding the Asian male whom he had met at the Grand Avenue mall. Regarding the Asian male he stated that he met him while he was walking around the Grand Avenue mall. He indicated that. after introducing himself to the victim, he offered him $50.00 to accompany him-back to his apartment to pose and have some drinks and watch videos. He stated that he advised the Asian male that the posing would be in nude or semi-nude states. The Asian male agreed to accompany him back to his apartment and they returned to his 25th Street address by bus. He feels that they returned home at approximately 5:00pm and once in the apartment he had the victim disrobe down to his black bikini panties and that he posed for several photographs which he took with his Polaroid camera. These photos can be found on; Milwaukee Police inventory. He stated that during the time of the posing he also mixed his drink of rum, coffee and sleeping pills and offered it to the victim who drank it.
He went on to state that during this entire time the victim spoke in perfect English and was completely able to understand English and spoke it fluently. He indicated that at about this time the rum/coffee concoction with the sleeping pills in it begun to take effect and as the victim became drowsey he walked him into the bedroom area. Dring the time that he walked him into the bedroom area and sat on the bed DAHMER stated that the victim, Tony HUGHES, whom he had killed several days earlier, was lying naked on the floor of his bedroom. He stated that he believes that the victim saw Tony HUGHES! body, however, did not react to it. He feels that this was because the rum/coffee/sleeping pill mixture was beginning to affect him. He went on to state that he put a video on and they watched it-: until the victim fell asleep. He related that during this time he _ began kissing and body rubbing the victim and he feels that he may have had oral sex, mouth to penis, on the victim, however, he denies at this time that he had penis to anus
sex with ther victim. He stated that after he realized the he was unable to arouse the f victim by mouth to penis sex and by body rubbing and kissing he continued to watch the video and to drink beer until he himself fell asleep. ‘He indicated that after a few hours of sleep he woke up and it was quite late out, approximately 11:00 or 12:00, maybe later. He looked about and realized that the victim was still sleeping from the effects of his drink and he decided to-go to the tavern located on 27th Street known as the Gare Bear Bar to continue drinking.
He stated that he left the apartment, went to the Gare Bear Bar and drank beer until closing time. At closing time, after leaving the tavern, he stated that he began to walk eastbound on West State Street and observed the victim sitting completely naked on the southeast corner of 25th and State. He stated that the victim was sitting on the curb. He related that there were two black females standing by him and they appeared to _ —| be hysterical. He walked up to the victim, whom he realized was speaking to the black females in Asian. The victim was disoriented and appeared to be intoxicated by alcohol, however, he realized that he must still be under the influence of the drink containing the sleeping pills he had given him. At this time he advised the ladies that the victim was, in fact, a friend on his and that he attempted to pull the victim in the _ direction of his apartment. He stated that the women continued screaming at him, "we don't know if you really know this guy and we've called the Police, why don't you wait until the Police get here." He stated that he continued pulling the victim towards his apartment and that the victim did offer some slight resistance to this. When he got to the alley behind the Hong Fat Company he noticed that the Fire Department had approached from the east end of the alley and the Milwaukee Police Department was coming from the west end of the alley. He indicated that at this time he noticed that the victim had a slight laceration above his left eye and was bleeding from this. He stated that at this time there was no other signs of blood on either the anal or genital area of victim. AS the Police and Fire Department arrived he stopped with the boy and he noticed that the Fire Department personnel simply stood by and did not make any efforts to attend to the victim. He stated that the he feels that the Police Officer took a yellow plastic type blanket and wrapped it around the boy and he noticed that the black females who ‘he had seen with the boy on 25th and State appeared to still be hysterical and were screaming
the Police Officers. At this time he stated that a Police Officer approached him and asked him what was going on. He stated that he handed the Police Officer his Ambrosia Chocolate Company personnel ID and stated who he was and gave a fake name for the victim, He stated that he believes he told the Police that the victim was 19 years old and he thought this. was appropriate, as although the victim was young, he believed him to be s approximately that age. He stated that he told the Police that the victim was, in fact, a close friend of his and gave him a fake name. He indicated that the victim had stayed with him several times in the past and that whenever he drinks he gets crazy and has T been known to walk out. of the apartment in the nude. He stated that the Officers attempted to speak with the victim, however, he stood there speaking only in-an Asian — dialect and appeared to be intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. He stated' at this time he feels he convinced the Police that this was some type of homosexual relationship that had some alcohol problems and that he would take care of the victim if he was allowed to; return with him to his apartment. He stated at this time two Officers escorted both he and the victim back to his apartment building.
went on to state that during the time that.the Officers were speaking with him | regarding the Asian boy the black females who had been screaming hysterically in the beginning of this, left the scene, however, he is unsure were they went to.

knowledge besides this offense and the offense where he took pictures of an Asian boy that there have been no other encounters, either personally, casually or sexual, with any other oriental males.
At this time I again questioned Jeffrey DAHMER as to the bleeding from the anus of the victim and whether or not the bleeding would be visable to Police Officers. He stated emphatically that there was no blood coming from the anus or genital area of the victim as he had not had any anal intercourse or injured the victim in any way prior to f this meeting with the Police.

On Non., 7-29-91, I, Det. KENNEDY, on Squad 126, along with Det. Dennis MURPHY, were 2 in an interview room located in the CBI on the fourth floor. At this time we had the suspect in this offense, Jeffrey DAHMER, who had previously requested to speak with us regarding this offense. I advised Mr. DAHMER that I had a series of questions I would like to ask him regarding the offense, to which he stated he was willing to answer them, At this time I asked him regarding the patties of meat which we found in the lower f freezer in his apartment. To this he stated they were not exactly patties, however they were strips of muscle and flesh which he had taken from his thirteenth victim. He stated he met this victim in front of the bus station and the reason these were not thrown out, along with other parts found with the so called "patties" was because he had placed them 1 on the bottom of his standing freezer and that they had become frozen to the bottom and he was unable to get them out. He stated his usual routine after cutting up his victims, was f to only throw out two. and possibly three bags of human flesh and bones at a time and at this time he would hide the bags underneath other bags of garbage which were located' -; behind his apartment building on 25th St. He stated the remained of flesh, chunks and strips of body parts which he had cut off the victims, he would place in plastic bags and freezer until a more appropriate time to throw them out. He stated this was done in order to help stop detection of his crime, He felt that if he would throw out entire cut up body parts at one time, it would be easier for people to detect his activities, so there- 4 fore he would freezer, or keep refrigerated, body parts until he was able to more discreetly dispose of them through the trash.
Regarding the computer which was found in his apartment, Jeffrey stated he became interested in computer while he was doing his tour in the House of Correction. He stated he thought it would be fun and interesting and that he would use it for personal finance, daily planning, games, and personal business. He stated there will be several disco found in his apartment, however, that he never recorded or put anything into his disco regarding the offenses that he has been questioned about. He stated the computer did not turn out to be as interesting to him as he felt it would and that he barely used it and that Slightly before his arrest he was attempting to sell the computer and had an offer

He stated that to the best of his knowledge, there was nothing of value or of personal belongings in that locker at the time of his termination, however he is not sure.
Regarding how long ago he bought the standing freezer found in his apartment, he _# stated that he bought the standing freezer several months after he had killed the victim known as "Cash D." He stated the reason he bought the freezer was because he was having difficulty storing the cut off flesh and bones which he had cut from his victims. He
stated he felt that by buying the freezer, it would be easier for him to store the cut up a flesh and bones until he was able to dispose of them discreetly through the garbage to the rear of his. apartment.
Regarding the penis from the black male which he ‘kept and which he painted white, he stated he bought a skin color paint and painted the penis simply because it seemed like a fascinating idea and he wanted the penis to look more natural.

He stated he quickly cut up the victim and disposed of him in the usual way, except for keeping the head and Regarding the black nylon strap which he stated he used to strangle several of his victims and which was photographed by himself, hanging one of his victims from his shower in his bathroom, I questioned Jeffrey as to the whereabouts of the strap and he stated he was unsure which victim he got rid of the strap with, however he stated it became soaked with blood and he decided to throw it out and that he disposed of it through his garbage located in the alley at his building..;

knife which he used to crave the skin off of the one victim that he — totally skinned.;
Regarding the battery complaint which he filed with the Milwaukee Police Department in November of 1988, he stated he met an individual and asked him if he would come back to his apartment for pictures. He Stated that although he was no longer living in the apartment on North 24th St., he had just moved out in October and felt it would still be vacant. He stated he still had the key for that apartment and that he and the suspect went back to that apartment. However upon attempting to enter, he realized it had been rented out and a female was living there. He stated that upon realizing this, he and the suspect walked down the stairwell of the apartment building at 808 North 24th St. and continued to drink beer. He went on to indicate that after all the beer was gone, he bent over and received a hard blow from behind. He is unsure what he was struck with, however because of his intoxication and the fact the blow was so hard, he knows he passed out. He stated when he came to, he was at the police station and that officers, after taking his ‘believes the suspect, who was a black male, also stole about $350 from his pockets and he does remember coming to the third floor of the Police Administration Building and viewing photos regarding this offense, however he was unable to pick anyone out of. the line up.
Regarding whether or not he knew a white male, approximately 54 years old, by the name of Tom MODEE, who apparently was a sexual acquaintance of one of his victims, Ernest MILLER, he stated he never met any of his victim's friends and has no idea who Thomas MODEE is.
At this time I questioned Jeffrey regarding the fact that he apparently left the victims, who were already killed, lying about his apartment. He stated he never left anyone for more then two days, however he did leave several of his victims uncut up and naked, lying about his apartment, either in his-bed or on his bedroom floor. He stated there wre several reasons why he did this. The first reason was because on several of the victims he intended and did return at a later date and had oral and anal sex, and kissing and touching of the body, after they were dead. He also stated that sometimes because of time
time, so he simply left them. He stated also' that there were other times, because of his drinking and the late hours he was keeping, that he was just too exhausted to try to cut up the body and dispose of it, so he left them there,.
Regarding the letter which was written to Judge GARDNER while he was in the House of Correction, he stated that he *members talking to a white male inmate in the House of Correction regarding his predicament and wanting to get out. He stated that this inmate put the idea in his head to write a letter to the judge regarding a change in his sentence. He stated the inmate appeared to be knowledgeable in such matters and actually ‘wrote out a letter which he copied in his own handwriting. He stated the words and the ideas in the letters which he wrote to Judge GARDNER were not even his, however, he thought that they sounded all right and decided to use them to see if they would work. He stated that although he did write the letter, the ideas, words, and composition were the work of another inmate.
this time I questioned_Jeffrey regarding the long period of time which lapsed between his first homicide which he committed in Bath, Ohio, and the first homicide which he committed here in Milwaukee. At this time we established that the first homicide which he committed here in Milwaukee occurred probably in November of 1987.. This was the victim that he took to the Ambassador Hotel.
Jeffrey stated he feels that the first homicide that happened in Bath, Ohio, was unplanned and somewhat of an accident. He stated this haunted him terribly for many years and that he had nightmares and was troubled by it during the entire time he was in the service. He emphatically denied committing any crimes while he was in the United States Armed Forces and stated he feels that one of the reasons that he did not get involved in criminal activity was because of the structure of the military and the fact that he never had a residence or an apartment of his own. He feels he was continually surrounded by other soldiers and did not have an opportunity to commit any offenses. He stated that after leaving the military and moving to Miami, Florida, that he was short of funds and was living on the beach after he ran out of cash. He stated he lived on the beach for approximately two months in between hotels and that there, too, he did not have an oppor-
sub shop trying to make money or trying to find a place to stay and that Miami did not turn out to be the opportunity that he felt it would be when he left the service. He stated after calling his father and advising him of the financial trouble he was having in Miami, he was given a plane ticket to return to Ohio,' and eventually moved to his grandmother's house in West Allis.
He stated when he first moved to West Allis with his grandmother, it was at this time that he decided to try to put behind him the nightmare he had constantly re-lived regarding his first homicide. He stated his grandmother was a religious woman and at this time he began attending church with her and apparently was looking into religious ideals in an attempt' to change his life. He stated he recalls reading the Bible and attempting to look fora job and to live the so called "straight and narrow life." He stated that although he constantly tried to delve into the religious aspects of life, he constantly had fantasies of homosexual activity and mutilation of human beings. He stated that eventually during this period of time the fantasies and the urges for, as he called them, "the darker side," bothered him and that he decided to quit attending church and looking into -J religion, and for awhile he delved in the occult. He stated he felt he did this because he felt that since religion wasn't working, maybe he should just delve into the occult and to satanism. However, after reading several books and dabbling in it, he realized this was not for him and then he again gave in to his homosexual tendencies. He stated he began by going to the bookstores where he obtained information regarding gay areas in Milwaukee, He stated he also started reading gay and homosexual pornography and eventually became acquainted with the bars in the homosexual areas of town. From there he began to frequent the gay baths and was a regular member of the gay baths and spent the night several times. He in fact stated that several times he used a liqueur which had been tampered with by his sleeping pills in the gay baths, however he did not commit any violent acts while there. He only drugged some of his gay friends who he had met and spent the night with in the gay baths. He stated he believes this is the reason why there was such.long span between homicides, as he was going through all of these mental changes, trying to leave the old life behind and that once he finally again gave
can Dist; O OTHER f sexual desires, that it slowly began to escalate over years until he finally gave in to his fantasies of killing and dismembering men after homosexual acts and culminated in his first homicide here in Milwaukee at the Ambassador Hotel..
At this time he was given several other questions regarding his tour of duty in Germany and a chronological explanation of the events of his life and Det. Dennis MURPHY _ will file a detailed supplementary regarding this part of the interview.
It should also be noted that during this interview, I asked Jeffrey if in fact all the information he has been giving us regarding this offense is true and correct. At this point. Jeffrey was very adamant, stating, What would be tne point of lying now? You realize that the whole purpose for me cooperating with you and giving you this information is for me to clear my conscious so that I can go on with my life. “What I've told you is the truth. Why should I lie "now?" At this time the interview was terminated, Report per Det. Patrick KENNEDY.

He related that at this point they took the bus to 5/th and National and they then walked to his grandmother's house. He stated that they _ did not have any conversation on the bus as they sat in separate seats because the bus was Slightly crowded. He stated that once at his grandmother's house they sat in the front room and had some light sex which he described as mugging and kissing and that at this time he told the victim that it would be quieter down in the basement. He related that they proceeded to the basement where there was a large easy chair and they continued to hug and kiss and mutually masturbate one another.

He stated it was approximately 7:00am in the morning at this time and his grandmother awoke.

He stated that he would then take a sharp knife and start at the top of the sternum and make a single cut down the middle of the upper torso of the victims. He stated that once the initial cut was made he would spread the wound and remove al] the internal organs. He stated that he would place the internal organs, that he would cut up, into fist size pieces, into a plastic bag.

at this time he would slice up al] the strips of flesh into small fist like pieces and I place them into approximately 3 bags, that being plastic garbage bags.

NARRATIVE
On Monday, 8-5-91, at 2: PM, I, Detective James DEVALKENAERE, along with Detective Patrick KENNEDY, interviewed Jeffery L. DAHMER in an interview room on the fourth floor of “the Police Administration Building. Also present at that time was Jeffery DAHMER'S attorney, Attorney Wendy PATRICKUS. By the time of this interview, a photo of a possible homicide victim, namely Steven W. TUOMI, W/M, 12-19-62, of 1315 N. Ass Street, had been obtained from his family.
In previous interviews, Jeffery DAHMER had related to Detectives KENNEDY and MURPHY that he believed he had encountered this individual in November of 1987. Jeffery DAHMER viewed the photos which had been received of Steven TUOMI and he positively identified this as being the person he had encountered in November of 1987.;
DAHMER related that at that time he had been in front of the 219 Club, a tavern on South 2nd Street, at about bar closing time. At that time he had encountered TUOMI F while TUOMI was waiting at a bus stop. He had already obtained a hotel room at the _ Ambassador Hotel, which he believes is located around 24th and Wisconsin. He had gotten the room earlier with the plan that - if he had encountered someone he would take him back there for the purposes of having sex with him, He had already purchased some sleeping pills, which he had at the hotel room, for the purpose of rendering anyone he brought back there, helpless, so he could have sex with them. He spoke with TUOMI and asked him if he wanted to spend the night with him at a hotel room. TUOMI agreed. DAHMER does not recall if he offered TUOMI money to come with
arrival at the hotel, both DAHMER and TUOMI got undressed and laid
At that time they had what DAHMER called "light sex", He described this as mugging, kissing, and mutual masturbation. After about an hour or two, DAHMER made a drink for TUOMI in which he put the sleeping pills. TUOMI drank this and fel] asleep..DAHMER kept drinking and eventually fell asleep himself.

DAHMER related that he had purchased the room for another night and he remained in the room that night until 1: AM.
At that time he left the room with the suitcase, taking an elevator to the ground floor.
house on S. 57th s Street.
Upon arrival at his grandmother's house, DAHMER put the suitcase in the fruit cellar beneath the house. He left the suitcase there for about a week. He said he did this because it was Thanksgiving time and it was cold in the basement and he knew this would slow the decomposition of the body. After about a week he got the suitcase out of. the fruit cellar and removed the body from it. After removing the body from the suitcase, DAHMER used a knife to open the body and then stripped the flesh from it. He placed the flesh in plastic bags. DAHMER then used an old sheet which had been in the basement to wrap the bones and he then crushed the bones witha sledge hammer. DAHMER related that he wrapped the bones ina sheet so that when he was crashing them, the splinters and fragments of bones would not fly ail over the basement. He then put these items in the trash. oe Regarding the Ambassador Hotel, DAHMER related that on four or five times previous to his encounter with TUOMI, he had rented a room at the Ambassador for the purpose of having sex with someone he would meet. He indicated that at no previous time had he killed anyone there and nothing had happened..

Regarding information we received that he had an Aunt Unis (phonetic), who lived. in the Milwaukee area during the time he stayed with his grandmother, he states that this is true and that he felt he always had a good relationship with his Aunt Unis. He states that he saw her several times during the holiday, as he was living.at grandma's house and he felt that it was usually Aunt Unis who reported to his father activities that got him somewhat in trouble while he was living at grandmother's house. He states that he betives that she was the one who informed his father that he had a gun in the home and that several times she complained about the foul smell emanating from the basement at grandma's house. He states that he told grandma and Aunt Unis that the smell was because of the cat that grandma had by the name of_Jody, had fowled the kitty litter box, which was located in the basement and it had not previously been emptied. He states one time his Aunt Unis pressed him further, stating that was not a kitty litter smell, and at this time he made up a ploy story stating that he had found a dead racoon and had cut the racoon up in the basement, in order to save the bones. He states he told this because he realized that there was the smell of dismembered bodies that came from the basement. At this time I asked him how this could be. He states that was because several of his victims, although he cut them up and dismembered them over the drain pipe in the basement, he states after hosing down the basement floor and washing all the blood down the drain he was careful that none of the body parts or chunks of flesh got into the drain. He states after disposing of the body parts and the bones and hosing down the blood, he would pour a full gallon bottle of bleech down the drain in order to try to get rid of the smell, but the _ dismembered bodies would give off an awful der and it would linger in the basement for one or two days before it would it go away. He states this is the smell that his Aunt Unis smelled and that she was the one that bought up the foul smell to his grandmother and to his father, however, he was usually able to dissuade them from investigating further, by his explanations of the racoon and the kitty litter box. At this time I showed DAHMER. another photo array of several individuals that may be the second victim who is still unidentified and after viewing all of these photos, he stated that none of the photographs | shown to him resembles the victim he in fact killed at his grandmother's house.
eee WACO At this time I informed DAHMER that these were all the questions that I had to ' speak with him about on this ocassion and at this point his Attorney, Scott HANSON left the interview room. I then advised DAHMER that I would be returning him to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Jail, at which time he requested a cup of coffee and another cigaret. To this request I compiled and he asked me to again sit down with him. He stated that he.
wished to know some of the information regarding the events happening in Milwaukee at this. time. At this time I lightly advised him that the News Media was reporting daily bits of information they had received regarding his case. At this time DAHMER started to talk about the movie which we found in his apartment, that being the Exorcist II. I asked him - fat this time why he in fact purchased the Exorcist II, and he stated that he had seen the movie when it was first released and that he was fascinated by it. He stated that he enjoyed the-movie so much, that when it was first released on video cassette he spent approximately $100.00 in order to purchase a copy of it. I asked him what his fascination was with the movie, to which he stated he was unsure, but he knows that he felt a tremendous amount of guilt, because of his actions. He stated he felt evil and thoroughly corrupted, body & soul, because of the horrible crimes he had committed against people.
stated that everytime he would try to overcome his feelings of wanting to kill and dismember people, they would haunt him and overcome him, almost like an addiction. He states he felt that he could not fight that feeling and wondered if in fact the devil had anything to do with his evil thoughts. He states because of this he watched the movie Exorcist II on almost. a weekly basis, for approximately 6 mos., and sometimes 2 and 3 times a week. He states that in the movie he could tell] that the devil was angry for being condemned and that he could relate with the devil, because he felt that his life on earth was condemned. He went onto state that the main character in the movie appeared to be driven by evil and that he could relate to this character as felt that his life was driven by evil. At this time I questioned DAHMER regarding the heads which he had kept in his apartment, I asked him how in fact he got the brain matter out of the skulls and why the skulls looked so completely clean and dried when we discovered them. He states after killing his victims and decapitating them, he would use a small dril? to dirt] several holes.and various areas of the head and then he would boil the head. He stated during the boiling process he would use a large plastic syringe which he had purchased at an Ace
DATE OF REPORT He ee tu2472-Mo4e,:
Bs INCIDENT A HOMICIDE (STABBING). 07-23-91 Hardware Store and that he would fill. the syringe witha Soilex cleaning solution and boiling water, and inject that solution into the holes which he had previously drilled into the skulls. He states that this solution would help to turn the brain matter into a mushy substance and that after approximately 1 hr of boiling, the upper vertebra, located in the neck area, would become loose and he could dislodge then, He states at this time he would use a large serving spoon or utensil to dig into the back part of the skull and scoop out the brain matter which had turned into mush. He states after stooping out the brain matter and discarding it in the toilet, he would again place the skull into the boiling water and boil it thoroughly until it was completely clear of any flesh, hair, mucus, or brain matter. At this time I asked him why he kept the heads, and if in fact he considered them to be a trophy. He stated that he did not consider them trophy, however, he wanted to keep the skulls of his victims, because to him the skull represented the true essence of his victims. He states that he felt by at least keeping the heads, the death of his victims would not be a total loss, because the heads would be with him.
the skulls in order to keep them from being detected, however, he never got around to doing that. At this time DAHMER stated to ime "it's hard for me to believe that a human being could of done what I done, but I know that I did it, I want you to understand that my questions regarding satan and the devil were not to refuse guilt from me and blame the devil for what I've done, because I realized what I've done is my guilt, but I have to question whether or not there is an evil force in the world and whether or not I have been influenced by it. Although I am not sure if there is a GOD, or if there is a devil, I know that as of lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about both and I have to wonder what has influenced me in my life". To this I again asked DAHMER if there were any other victims that he had neglected to tell me about, to which he stated "Pat, what good would it do for me to admit to just half of my - [victims or to a few of my victims, or to not tell you of a couple, when I know that in the 1 long run it will be me that has to stand before GOD and admit to my wrong doing and he'll know ifI was truthful and honest when I finally was caught, and ifI helped to try and clear this whole matter up. I'm telling you the truth now, because I want to clear my.

On Wednesday, 8-21-91, we, Detectives Patrick KENNEDY and Dennis MURPHY, were contacted by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department and were informed that the suspect, i Jeffrey DAHMER wished to speak with us. At this time we were also advised by the Defense Attorney for the suspect, Gerald BOYLE, that he wished to sit in on the interview with Jeffrey DAHMER.
At this time the suspect was conveyed from the 5th floor of the Milwaukee County Ht Sheriff's Department to the 4th Floor CBI and placed into an interview room where several questions, pertaining to this investigation were asked by Detective MURPHY. A detailed H supplementary report will be filed relative to that interview.
At this time I questioned Jeffrey DAHMER regarding the muriatic acid which was f found in his apartment on the night of his arrest, that being approximately 16 gallons of fs muriatic acid. DAHMER related that he bought the muriatic acid at Ace Hardware. He took fa City Wet Cab to the hardware store in order to purchase it. DAHMER related that he intended to use the muriatic acid in the 57 gallon industrial strength drum which he had 7 previously purchased in order to dispose of the body parts which he had in his apartment.
fF At this time he realized that because of the loss of his job and the fact that he was out of money, he would soon have to leave his apartment. Therefore, he decided that he would completely destroy all the evidence of his deeds by mixing water and muriatic acid in the f 57 gallon drum and thereby placing all the body parts which he had in his apartment, in the drum at one time, including al] the skulls which he had saved and boiled, the complete torsos which he had saved and boiled from his victims, and the victims who were recently killed and were already placed in the drum. He felt that by doing this he would completely rid himself of any evidence of his crimes and after the bones and flesh had decalcified, he would be able to pour them down the toilet, completely destroying all evidence. He felt he would be thrown out of his apartment because of lack of funds and he ‘| would start anew life by going to the Salvation army where he could stay, he thought for f reporting OFFICER -_ ee PAYROLL # - ~ LOC cone SUPERVISOR SIGNAJ RE

At this time DAHMER related "If I am to be honest with myself, I would have to admit that ifI again was set up in another apartment and had the opportunity, I probably would not be able to stop. I feel that it is almost a driving compulsion to commit these acts and I probably would have started up again, after sometime", Mr. DAHMER stated "obviously a power higher than myself had been fed up with my deeds and decided it was time for me to be stopped"..
Regarding the fact that the flesh on the feet of several of the victims found in his apartment seemed to have been cut off, the Medical Examiner had inquired as to why this was dane. Upon being asked this question, Mr. DAHMER related that by cutting the flesh off the sole and heel of the foot of his victims, it was easier for the muriatic jf acid to work on the bones of the foot, to decalcify and turn it to a sludgy substance. He related that the skin on the bottom of the foot was extremely tough and that it took more time for the muriatic acid to work though that and that was the reason why he cut the flesh off the feet of his victims.
