👮🏻♂️ 35 years ago today, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested:
At 11:30 PM on July 22, 1991, police officers Rolf Mueller and Robert Rauth were flagged down by a frantic, handcuffed 32-year-old Tracy Edwards on patrol at Kilbourn Avenue. The officers tried to unlock the cuff, but their key didn't fit. After their unsuccessful attempt, they asked Edwards to lead them back to where he had been handcuffed: an apartment building at 924 North 25th.
Upon arriving at apartment 213, 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, opened the door and invited them in. When questioned about the handcuffs, Dahmer admitted to placing them on Edwards and pointed to the bedroom, claiming the key was inside. As Officer Mueller retreated to the bedroom to investigate, Dahmer suddenly moved toward the room, prompting Officer Rauth to tell him to "back off." In the bedroom, Mueller noticed a large knife, as mentioned by Edwards, under the bed. He also saw an open top chest drawer containing Polaroid photos of naked men. Upon closer inspection, Mueller discovered, to his horror, that many of the Polaroids depicted severed heads and bodies in various stages of dismemberment.
Mueller returned to the living room, Polaroids in hand, and stated, "These are real pictures." Rauth then moved to restrain Dahmer, causing both men to fall to the floor in a struggle. Dahmer resisted, reaching back and pinching Officer Rauth's thigh, causing Rauth to cry out in pain. Mueller joined to help subdue Dahmer. The officers called for backup, and Officer Schoessow arrived to find Dahmer pinned to the ground. Schoessow retrieved handcuffs from his car, and Jeffrey Dahmer was placed under arrest.
“He had a complex about people leaving him, he told me I would never leave him when he ate apart of my heart, I would be a part of him and he would be a part of me.”
