Jeffery Dahmer targeted mostly homosexual, African-American males. What started out as a "fun" night led to brutal murders. Jeffery would cut up and preserve many of his victims, sometimes even saving them for later to eat. It was also common for him to kill and then save the victim's entire body to have sex with later before disposing of them. Jeffery had a thing for taking pictures of his victims dead bodies after killing them. In some cases, Jeffery would keep the skulls of his victims. Jeffery's cannibalism and necrophilia are what makes him such a revolting serial killer. In total, he murdered 17 people all males.

The Victim that lived: Tracy Edwards
Tracy was the key to finally putting an end to Dahmer's attacks. Dahmer picked up Edwards at a bar and took him home. Dahmer gave Edwards a cocktail designed to make him drowsy. After, Dahmer started making sexual advances towards Edwards and handcuffed him. Realizing the trouble he was in when Dahmer started approaching him with a knife in his hand, Edwards bolted towards the unlocked door. Dahmer in the mist of trying to stop his victim from escaping, was hit in the stomach by Edwards knocking him to the ground. Edwards escaped the house, ran off into the streets and flagged down a nearby police car. The police saw Edwards in handcuffs and listened to his story about Dahmer and his barrel of dead bodies and acid. Edwards led police back to Dahmer's apartment where they could see the evidence of brutal killings.
