Jeffrey Dahmer: How He Spent A Decade Killing In Plain Sight Pt. 2

About this episode

This episode explores the decade of Jeffrey Dahmer's escalating crimes while he lived undetected among his family and community.

In 1987, Jeffrey Dahmer sat down for Thanksgiving dinner with his family while a dismembered body was hidden in his grandmother's basement below them. Nobody suspected a thing. In part two of three episodes on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, Katie Ring traces the decade between his first murder and the beginning of his full-blown killing spree. As Dahmer's crimes escalated and his methods grew more calculated, the people around him, and the systems meant to protect his victims, kept looking the other way.
