Jeffrey Dahmer: This Is Why the System Failed to See the Danger
Historical Crimes Uncovered

Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal serial killer who murdered seventeen men and boys, was not undetected. He was found, questioned and released, again and again. This case file follows the documented institutional failures from Steven Hicks in 1978 to Tracy Edwards' escape in 1991.
On the night of 27 May 1991, fourteen-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone was found bleeding and disoriented on a Milwaukee street. Police officers Balcerzak and Gabrish returned him to the apartment he had just escaped. He was dead within the hour. Glenda Cleveland, the neighbor who called police and the FBI, was dismissed.
Five more men died before she was proven right. Both officers were fired, then reinstated with back pay, and one became president of the Milwaukee Police Association.
This case file was built from court records, police reports, and interview transcripts.
The question before the jury in 1992 was not whether Jeffrey Dahmer was sick. It was whether that mattered.
