The Boy Police Returned to a Serial Killer

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered, dismembered, and put the head of 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone inside the freezer of his refrigerator on May 27, 1991, AFTER two homophobic police officers returned the boy to his apartment from which he had escaped moments earlier. The boy could have lived and escaped Dahmer, putting an end to his horrific crimes had the police only done their jobs.

Dahmer drilled a hole in the boy's head, injecting him with drugs to render him unconscious. He ran naked out of Apartment 213 in an altered state, where two cousins walking back to their apartment found him.

The bloodied, distraught teenager was naked, fresh cut marks lining his body. He grabbed at the legs of the teens, but could not say anything due to his dazed state. Horrified, the young cousins asked what was wrong but he could not speak.

Dahmer Appears

Moments later, Dahmer came around the corner, giving the girls a story about his drunk 19-year-old boyfriend wandering out of the apartment. He tried taking Sinthasomphone back to the home, but the girls felt something was off. Dahmer mixed up his name a couple of times and became agitated when they called the police.

Police arrived, speaking to the girls and then to Dahmer. He repeated the same story to the cops. They visited Dahmer’s apartment, stating that nothing seemed unordinary or out of place.

Had the officers really searched the apartment, four people would still be alive. Dahmer’s apartment held two barrels filled with human torsos, more than 100 sexually explicit Polaroid photos showing dead and dismembered bodies, body parts, cleaning supplies, and more.

Officers Send Sinthasomphone Back to a Serial Killer

The officers ignored the concerns the girls had, assumed it was two drunk boyfriends arguing and allowed Dahmer to take the teenage Sinthasomphone, still dazed and unable to talk, back to his apartment where he’d endure a brutal death in the hours ahead.

One of the girl’s mothers who helped Sinthasomphone that day called the police since officers never came back to speak with them as promised. They assured the woman everything was fine and they had the matter under control, that it was nothing other than a matter between boyfriends. The girls were not convinced. Sinthasomphone did not look like a 19-year-old and nothing seemed right about the situation.

The Murders of Jeffrey Dahmer

Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial killer.

He murdered three additional men over the next two months, bringing the total number of victims up to 17. His reign of terror came to an end when would-be victim Tracey Edwards managed to escape the apartment. Edwards took police to the apartment where they discovered the horror that had been taking place behind the walls.

As police searched Apartment 213, they found severed heads in the kitchen, seven skulls -some painted, some bleached - inside the closet and in his bedroom, a tray of collected blood drippings sitting at the bottom of the refrigerator complete with two human hearts, a portion of arm muscle wrapped inside plastic bags, and in the freezer, an entire torso and a bag of human organs. Flesh stuck to the ice at the bottom of the freezer.

Elsewhere in the apartment, police found two entire skeletons, a pair of severed hands, a mummified scalp, and two severed, preserved penises. They found a 47-gallon drum containing three dismembered torsos in an acidic solution. In the dresser drawer, police recovered a total of 74 Polaroid pictures detailing the horror that took place on each of the victims.

The Chief Medical Examiner state of Dahmer’s apartment:

"It was more like dismantling someone's museum than an actual crime scene."
