The real case (not suitable for minors)
The series is based on the case of who he was known as “The Milwaukee Butcher”who in the second half of the last century raped, quartered and ate 17 men.
The killer’s main motivation was to stay with his victims forever. Whatever it was. Some he ate them, some he kept parts of his body and there were also those that were the subject of experimentation on zombies.
The name Steven Hicks is central to Dahmer’s story because it was his first victim. He was an 18-year-old whom he met because she saw him hitchhiking to get to a concert in time.
Dahmer picked up Hicks and killed him with two blows to the head weighing 5 kilograms. After consuming the murder, he massacred his body, separated the flesh from his bones, pulverized them, dispersed them and then dissolved the skin in acid.
He did the same things to many of his victims that he did to Hicks. But not everyone knew them in the same way as that young man.
Most fell into Dahmer’s hands after meeting them in gay clubs or accepting their invitation to photograph them for money.
