Jeffrey Dahmer, Notorious cannibal necrophile and serial killer who murdered 17

Also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal and the Milwaukee Monster, Dahmer continues to occupy a prominent place in discussions of psychopathy and extremely deviant criminal behavior. Behavior that includes failed and futile attempts at creating human sex slaves by placing acid into the skulls of his then-living victims. Dahmer's childhood was unremarkable; his father was a chemist and his mother worked as a teletype machine instructor. Though his parents argued frequently and little Jeffrey's family life was fraught with tension, there are no allegations of sexual or physical abuse in Dahmer's background. In elementary school, Dahmer was considered a timid, introverted boy by his teachers, and not considered a problem child. He had a small number of friends, and most other students simply thought of him as shy and reserved.

Yet despite the apparent normality of his upbringing, it was clear that Dahmer had deep-seated emotional problems that took root shortly after his high school graduation, which is when he killed his very first victim. Even before this, Dahmer expressed an unusual interest in animal corpses and bones, going so far as to ask his chemist father how to best preserve animal bones with bleach. His father, thinking that his distracted son has finally shown an interest in science, taught him. Little did he know that his son would later use this knowledge in the most gruesome of ways.
