350. Yes.Copy !req
351. Yeah, I'll be there right away.Copy !req
352. What is it?Copy !req
353. It's Jeff.Copy !req
354. Mr. Dahmer, I'm Detective Kennedy
with the Milwaukee Police Department.Copy !req
355. This is Detective Murphy.Copy !req
356. We're going to apologize
in advance, Mr. Dahmer.Copy !req
357. This is likely
to be a difficult conversation.Copy !req
358. Okay. But Jeff's alive?Copy !req
359. Yes.Copy !req
360. Jeffrey was arrested late last night.Copy !req
361. Arrested? For what?Copy !req
362. Attempted murder.Copy !req
363. We'd just like
to ask you some questions about him.Copy !req
364. Murder?Copy !req
365. Wha—?Copy !req
366. When you said
there was a murder investigation,Copy !req
367. I thought someone
might have tried to murder him.Copy !req
368. Well, he was always a...Copy !req
369. He was a strange boy.Copy !req
370. But he was a quiet boy. He was a good boy.Copy !req
371. When his mother and I divorced,
it was very hard on him.Copy !req
372. He just turned 18.
He was living alone at the time.Copy !req
373. And I think being alone...Copy !req
374. is very difficult for him.Copy !req
375. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for becoming emotional.Copy !req
376. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
377. Is there anything else
you'd like to tell us?Copy !req
378. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
379. When he was young, I think he was four,Copy !req
380. he had a hernia operation.Copy !req
381. And he was never the same after that.Copy !req
382. And I don't know ifCopy !req
383. there was brain damage
from, you know, too much anesthesia.Copy !req
384. It's haunted me.Copy !req
385. A hernia operation?Copy !req
386. You think that it might have, what?Copy !req
387. Damaged him?Copy !req
388. Could you tell me
a little bit about what he did?Copy !req
389. Um...Copy !req
390. Who this person was
that he tried to kill, I guess.Copy !req
391. You're aware
that your son is homosexual, yes?Copy !req
392. Allegedly, he lured a man back
to his apartment and tried to kill him.Copy !req
393. Uh, the man got away,Copy !req
394. and when the police arrived
to arrest your son,Copy !req
395. well, they found variousCopy !req
396. items around the apartment that indicateCopy !req
397. that your son
has committed multiple murders.Copy !req
398. Wha—Copy !req
399. What items? What...
What are you talking about?Copy !req
400. I'm just gonna tell you right now,Copy !req
401. this is gonna be difficult
to hear, Mr. Dahmer.Copy !req
402. There was a human head
in his refrigerator.Copy !req
403. Two plastic bags in the freezer.Copy !req
404. Each containing a human heart.Copy !req
405. Another containing a set
of male genitalia.Copy !req
406. In the bedroom,Copy !req
407. there was five more skulls.Copy !req
408. Knives and hammers and sawsCopy !req
409. and Polaroids
documenting the dismemberments.Copy !req
410. In another drawer,
we found a complete human skeleton,Copy !req
411. the bones had been bleached.Copy !req
412. A dried scalp.Copy !req
413. And then a 57-gallon vat.Copy !req
414. Filled with acid.Copy !req
415. Inside were three torsosCopy !req
416. in various stages of decomposition,Copy !req
417. as well as other body partsCopy !req
418. that he was attempting to dissolve or...Copy !req
419. strip the tissue off the bones.Copy !req
420. We don't know.Copy !req
421. And, uh, we should just tell youCopy !req
422. that based on debris
on some of the cooking utensils we foundCopy !req
423. and the marks on some of the body parts,Copy !req
424. as well as things
your son mentioned to us,Copy !req
425. we believe...Copy !req
426. he ate some of his victims.Copy !req
427. Now, we realize
that this is a lot for you to process.Copy !req
428. So we're gonna leave you alone
for a few minutesCopy !req
429. to, uh, collect yourself.Copy !req
430. And then, when you're ready,Copy !req
431. we can keep talking.Copy !req
432. Some neighbors here
had complained of a stenchCopy !req
433. for almost a year,Copy !req
434. but they never imagined
what might be causing it.Copy !req
435. Milwaukee police were led
to an apartment in this buildingCopy !req
436. after they were flagged down
by a handcuffed manCopy !req
437. who claimed he'd been attacked.Copy !req
438. What they discovered upon their arrival
was almost unspeakable.Copy !req
439. Numerous pieces
from as many as 15 human bodies.Copy !req
440. It's obvious that there
has been a number of human specimensCopy !req
441. - found within the apartment...Copy !req
442. and to a certain extent,
they're hidden in there.Copy !req
443. A hazardous materials team,
breathing from air tanks,Copy !req
444. confiscated a number of items
from the suspect's apartment.Copy !req
445. Among them, they say,
photographs and drawingsCopy !req
446. of dead, mutilated bodies
and a vat of acid.Copy !req
447. Police believe the suspect may have used
the acid to dissolve body parts.Copy !req
448. - Neighbors also say they...Copy !req
449. Ma'am,
you have to leave the premises.Copy !req
450. We're asking all residents to evacuate
for our investigation and their safety.Copy !req
451. Wha— What?Copy !req
