Jeffrey Dahmer lived in apartment 213, at the Oxford apartments at 924 N 25th St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All of Dahmer’s belongings were destroyed, and a few years later the apartments were destroyed as well. It is now a fenced off and vacant lot, covered by overgrown grass and weeds. For a while there was talk of turning the sight into a memorial to Dahmer’s victims, but the grounds remain littered with trash, abandoned and forgotten.

Head Injuries and Violent Behavior

There are some head injuries that affect parts of the brain that regulate impulse control and mood regulation, which may cause aggression and personality changes. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) have been found in many incarcerated individuals- data suggests that the prevalence of TBI in studied populations of inmates may be 10 times as high of the general non-incarcerated population. In one sample of 998 inmates, 82.8% reported experiencing TBI. Another study found that 25-87% of incarcerated females sustained TBI compared to 8.7% of the general population. This isn’t to say that most people who have experienced TBI will become violent, but it’s a commonality in violent criminals, along with a combination of other factors.

Here are some infamous murders who had head injuries as children or young adults:

Alexander Pichushkin

John Wayne Gacy

Richard Ramirez

David Berkowitz

Albert Fish

Gary Heidnik

Bobby Joe Long

Henry Lee Lucas

Dennis Rader

Jerry Brudos

Edmund Kemper

Fred West

Ed Gein

Another subset of this group is violent professional athletes who’ve sustained head injuries during their careers: Aaron Hernandez’s brain scans revealed extraordinary levels of severe brain damage. Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son and then himself, and had also experienced multiple concussions in his professional wrestling career. Additionally, nearly 50% of all arrests of NFL players are domestic violence-related, and some players are 35 times more likely to have head injuries. Of course, there are many reasons for this percentage, including how the NFL leniently handles these cases and a culture of violent behavior on and off the field. In fact, the list of football players who went on to commit murder is sizeable.

None of this is to shift the blame from murderers for their behaviors, nor am I claiming that brain injuries directly cause violent behavior, but there is an interesting tie between the two.

On the early morning hours of August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman, a former Marine sharpshooter, murdered both his mother and wife, leaving a note behind declaring his love for both women and that he killed them to save them from future humiliation. Later that morning, he armed himself with three rifles, two pistols, and a sawed-off shotgun before making his way to the University of Texas. Wheeling his equipment toward the Main Building of the university, he entered the elevator and exited on the 27th floor and climbed his way up a flight of stairs. He then encountered receptionist Edna Townsley. Quickly, he knocked her to the ground and, using the butt of his rifle, struck her twice over the head. He then started shooting at people who were coming up the stairs before approaching Edna to put a bullet in her brain, killing her instantly. Charles then entered the observational deck on the 27-story clock tower, which was located in the middle of the campus, giving him a perfect bird’s-eye view the surrounding campuses and streets. He then opened fire on the unsuspecting pedestrians below him. The attack carried on for a harrowing 96 minutes, only ending once two Austin police officers made their way up to the clock tower and shot Charles dead. By then, there were 15 people dead, including an unborn baby, and over 30 injured.

Although a motive for the senseless attack was never established, a brain tumor was uncovered during the autopsy, which is thought to have attributed to Charles’ violent impulses and fantasies. As of November 2017, the University of Texas tower shooting was ranked as the 8th deadliest mass shooting in American history.

In 2015, 5-year-old Rhuan Maicon da Silva Costa was abducted by his own mother Rosana Candido (pictured above wearing a black shirt) from the house where they lived with his father and grandparents. During four years she refused to give the kid back to his paternal family, which were desperately looking for him. On June 1st 2019, Rhuan Maicon was stabbed to death & quartered by Rosana and had his body parts put inside a suitcase and two backpacks.

Maycon Douglas Lima de Castro and Rosana Auri da Silva Candido, both 27, got divorced after 2 years of marriage. During their marriage, they lived with Maycon’s parents in Acre, northwestern Brazil, which helped to raise Rhuan. However, when Rosana met 28-year-old Kacyla Priscyla Santiago Damasceno Pessoa in a church, she started having an affair with Kacyla, what drove Maycon to move from his parents house and leave his wife & his son keep living there.

The grandparents were almost getting custody of Rhuan when Rosana took him away. Immediately relatives began to publish photos of Rhuan on Facebook asking for help. Francisco das Chagas, the grandfather, travelled through three cities looking for his grandson, but didn’t find him anywhere, “we sought help from the police, from the Child Protective Services, we called all possible places […] no one seemed to want to help us” stated Maycon Douglas. Rosana and Kacyla moved to several cities until move to Samambaia, Federal District, where they started living with Rhuan and 8-year-old Kacyla’s daughter, who was taken away from her father. The kids didn’t attend school.

Rosana and Kacyla Priscyla cut off Rhuan’s penis in 2018 and Kacyla stated that Rosana wanted to kill him, now 9 years old, because she didn’t want to have any connection with Maycon & his family. Saturday, while Rhuan was sleeping, Rosana stabbed him with a knife and a hammer. When he was already dead, she dismembered his corpse and put on the barbecue grill with the help of Priscyla; their intention was to bake his skin and throw into the toilet afterwards, besides grinding his bones. However, they gave up due to the smoke and decided to put the body parts inside a suitcase and two backpacks instead. The suitcase was thrown into a manhole and the backpacks were found in their house hours later when they were caught by the police.

Motives to Kill

What Compels Killers to Kill?

Chronically Aggressive Individuals

Easily frustrated, limited or poor impulse control

Frequently express anger or hostility

Resents authority, defiant with supervisors.

May express hostility through “passive-aggressive” behavior

Believes violence and/or aggression are legitimate responses to various interpersonal problems in life (i.e., if someone provokes you, you fight back)

Although they might never admit it, pleasure or reinforcement is derived from the expression of anger (i.e., it feels good to blow someone off; it makes you feel alive; it gives you a sense of power)

Often display the characteristics of a “stimulus seeker” - they engage in bold, fearless, or reckless behavior and are prone towards substance abuse

Most typically, violence occurs in a situational context: an offense, fight, or disagreement

Sometimes just get carried away in a particular situation (domestic violence, child battering)

Less likely to engage in acts of unexpected “explosive” violence

The Over-Controlled Hostility Type

Rarely display or express anger - they don’t cuss or yell, and may be offended by such

Emotionally rigid and inflexible: appear to be polite, serious, and sober, rarely “loose” or jocular

Cognitively rigid and inflexible: very strict about interpreting rules; usually go for the letter, rather than the spirit of the law

Morally righteous and upstanding: see themselves as “good people”

Often judgmental: see others as “not such good people”

Non-assertive or passive; their passivity causes others to take advantage of them

Anger builds up like in a pressure cooker, before they explode

After the violence, people say that they never expected it, “he always seemed like such a nice guy; he was always so quiet”

The Hurt and Resentful

Feel that people walk on them and that they are never treated fairly

When they are passed over, there is always someone else to blame

Things are easier for everyone else: other people get more and have more advantages.

They do not accept criticism well

In response to reprimands, they develop grudges, which are sometimes deeply held

They are often whiners and complainers, as a matter of attitude

They wallow in their victimization and are psychologically impotent

Violence occurs because they hold grudges and are “impotent” to deal with their anger in other ways

The Traumatized

Aggression occurs in response to a single, massive assault on their identity

Something happens that is potently offensive, absolutely intolerable, and which strips them of all sense of personal power

The essence of their existence (or their manhood) will be destroyed if they do not respond

Violence is predictable & preventable

The Obsessive

Immature and narcissistic individuals who demand or crave attention and affection

Absolutely cannot stand to be deprived of desired gratifications, like a baby who cries because mother removes the breast

When deprived of love, they continue crying: repeated phone calls, following the object of their obsession, etc.

As frustration continues, they escalate: “dead flowers”, punctured tires, suicide gestures

Violence because: “if I can’t have her, nobody can.” … or: “if she won’t have me, she won’t have anything.”

The Paranoid

Jealous Type: Delusionally believes their lover is unfaithful

Persecuted Type: Delusionally believes that people are out to get him

Typically engage in behaviors which make their paranoid beliefs come true

Delusions may reach the point at which the person is grossly out of contact with reality (may be insane).

The Insane

Rare: does not understand the nature and quality of their actions.

More typical: fundamental misperceptions of reality, incapable of rational behavior, delusional beliefs deprive them of the ability to know that their behavior is wrong, beliefs and perceptions are incongruent with reality.

Twisted, psychotic beliefs about what is right, what is wrong, and what is necessary.

The Just Plain Bad & Angry

A combination of most of the above (except for insane): angry, hostile, jealous, resentful, impotent, and disturbed individuals, who are socially isolated, socially inadequate, and who feel worthless

May be seeking attention

May be seeking revenge

“Dahmer’s last day, as I recount in the book, was quite different. There was no joy. I doubt he was capable of joy, or almost any emotion at that point. I remember seeing him in the halls that day, and briefly lurking around the band room, as often as he did, even after the Dahmer Fan Club ceased to be and we pushed him away. He was drinking a prodigious amount of booze by then and spent much of the day in a drunken stupor. He then staggered onto his bus and rode away, never to return.”

“It was time to arrest Jeffrey Dahmer. Officers Rauth and Mueller told him to place his hands behind his back so that they could handcuff him, and that was the first time he resisted them. As the two officers put their hands on his arms, Dahmer stiffened and forced his arms forward. Suddenly the three of them began spinning and tumbling into the living room, crashing across the floor, and yelling as they fought for control. The whole building seemed to shake, some of the residents remembered, and there were terrible screams from inside the apartment…Then they heard Dahmer’s voice bellowing and a different voice, maybe one of the cops, yelled that he’d been scratched. There were more violent crashes and shaking as Dahmer tried to force himself up against the combined weight of the two detectives.

Then there was a sudden, long, earsplitting scream that seemed to penetrate through the walls and out into the street. It was a scream so profound in its misery that the people who heard it were frightened and saddened at the very same time. This was Dahmer’s scream of acquiescence, a primal scream, a death scream.”

“It’s amazing to me that in 31 years, 31 short years, how I could create such hell for myself and everyone around me. Because I did it. It’s my doing, my little horrid creation. You know, I mean, people can say, well, it was family pressures or it was mental disease, but the fact is that I’m the one that did it. Very self-destructive life.”

Letter serial killer Dennis Nilsen wrote to Brian Masters about Jeffrey Dahmer.

“The paradox is that Dahmer cannot hate his victims because his objective is achieved by exercising his will to sexual power, and potency. The need is “love” for him, and death for the hapless victim. Dahmer is faced to unnaturally seek to accede to the demands of his natural instinctive drive. He is perhaps partially aware that his “love” is really for him, or a created entity within his deranged personality.”

Jeffrey dahmer from an interview in 1993 when he was being questioned about the murder of konerak sinthasomphone following a lawsuit filed by the family of the victim. People noted that during the interview he was giving very short replies and looked down most of the time, seemingly distracted by tapping his finger on the table.
