desecrated souls - jeffrey dahmer

In August 1988, Jeffrey was arrested for molesting a thirteen-year-old boy. He later found out that it was the brother of the Laotian boy he would kill May 26, 1991.

On March 25,1989, Jeffrey met Anthony Sears at LaCage bar. The LaCage bar was a very popular place for homosexuals to go to meet others. Jeffrey went there quite often for that purpose. Jeffrey said that if Anthony would go back to his house with him, they would drink, take nude photographs, and make love. Anthony accepted the offer. They went back to Jeffrey�s grandmother�s house, engaged in sex, and then Jeffrey slipped some homemade sleeping potion into Anthony�s drink. After he had passed out, Jeffrey chopped him up and began the normal procedure. He boiled the head and peeled the skin back. After it had dried, he painted the skull gray and took it home as a souvenir.

On May 24,1989, Jeffrey was sentenced to three years in prison for second-degree sexual assault and enticing a child for immoral purposes. It was later reduced to one year on a work-release program. After he served his year, he was on a five-year probation. The court prohibited that he have any contact with anyone under the age of eighteen.

In the next year or so, Jeffrey went on a major killing spree, taking the lives of twelve innocent men. Edward W. Smith, Raymond Smith, Ernest Miller, David C. Tomas, Curtis Straughter, Errol Lindsey, Anthony Hughes, Konerak Sinthasomphone, Matt Turner, Jeremiah Weinberger, Oliver Lacy, and Joseph Bradehoft. Although all of those killings were very tragic, there is one that stands out the most.

Konerak was the murder that stood out so much because it could have been prevented. While Konerak was at Jeffrey�s apartment, he was drugged. While he was passed out, Jeffrey walked to the store to get some beer. For some reason the sleeping potion did not work right on Konerak and he escaped. He ran out of the apartment, bleeding from his anus and stumbling from the sleeping potion. Some girls that were walking past saw him and ran over by him and called the police. Jeffrey saw him with the girls and went and tried to pull him away from the girls and back to his apartment, but the girls wouldn�t let go. When the police came, they told the girls they could leave, and they all went up to Jeffrey�s apartment to talk about what was going on. Somehow Jeffrey managed to convince the police that he and Konerak were gay lovers. They wouldn�t even listen to Konerak because they said he was too drunk to know what was going on, when really he was acting like that because of the drugs Jeffrey had given him. The police then left without even doing a background check on Jeffrey. When they reported what it was about on their radio, the police were laughing because they were gay and because Konerak was so drunk.
