One night in July 1991, two policemen saw a man running handcuffed from the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer. Investigating, they made a gruesome discovery: three human skulls in Dahmer's refrigerator and the body parts of at least 11 more people scattered throughout the apartment. Shortly after, Milwaukee Journal reporter Anne E. Schwartz received a tip that would change her life.
This book spans the entire Dahmer case, Schwartz, who broke the story, details it all: the dramatic scene in Dahmer's apartment and the shocking story that unfolded, how forensics and old-fashioned police work identified the victims, the mind of Dahmer-the boy who decapitated a dog and nailed its head on a stake, the personal stories of the victims' families, the riveting trial, why Dahmer wasn't stopped sooner, his life sentence and his murder in prison. With exclusive access to the police, detectives, medical examiner, attorneys, psychiatrists, prosecutors, and judges involved, she reveals the complete, inside story of the case and what happened in its wake.
