Jeffrey Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 21, 1960. Jeffrey claims that his compulsions toward necrophilia and murder began around the age of 14 but decided to keep it to himself because he did not know how to tell people what was wrong. Just after graduating high school, in June 1978, Jeffrey picks up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks where Dahmer took him to his parents’ house and got Steven drunk, when Steven then later try to leave Dahmer killed him by striking him in the head and strangulating him. He then dismembered the body and packed the body parts in plastic bags and buried them behind his parents’ home. Then in September of 1987 he checked into a hotel room and drank with Steven Tuomi, and when Dahmer woke up he found Tuomi dead and not remembering what he had done the night before. So he bought a large suitcase and transported Tuomi’s body to his grandmother’s basement where he dismembered the corpse and had his pleasures on the corpse. Dahmer’s killing spree lasted for more than 13 years, during that time he sought out mostly African American men at gay bars, malls and he lured them home with promises, in which he gave them alcohol and then strangled them to death. He would then practice necrophilia on all the victims. On May 27, 1991, police got a call from a neighbor saying there is a naked boy running around in the streets, as the police went to go look, and the policemen
Gein at first did not admit to any of the killings. However, after more than a day of silence he began to tell the horrible story of how he killed Mrs. Worden and where he acquired the body parts that were found in his house. Gein had difficulty remembering every detail, because he claimed he had been in a dazed state at the time leading up to and during the murder. Yet, he recalled dragging Worden’s body to his Ford truck, taking the cash register from the store and taking them back to his house. He did not remember shooting her in the head with a .22 caliber gun, which autopsy reports later listed as the cause of death.
Dahmers modus operandi was to find single men, ask them to go home with him for the night, either to his grandmothers or his apartment depending on where he lived at the time, then usually ask them to pose for pornography for him, perform sexually, drug them, murder them, and then cut up the bodies for disposal. He was considered a necrophiliac, a cannibal, and was a convicted pedophile. Dahmer mainly targeted young men and boys between the ages of 14 and 33. Most of his victims were African Americans, as he once said he hated black people, but not all of them were. All of his killings were in Wisconsin, and one in Ohio, being his first ever murder.

He would also cut up the bodies of the victims, and keep certain parts of the bodies.
Jeffrey Dahmer is known throughout the world as the Milwaukee Cannibal, a horrific monster, and anything else people could think to call him in an attempt to describe his inconceivable actions; and it shall remain this way. His life quickly began to escalate until he led himself to his utter downfall, the entirety of his life was based around how hard things can be on people who are outliers to the social norm. The “Monster” known as Jeffrey Dahmer went through his own personal hell in his early life, which left him in a predatory and ill mental state. His destructive outlet took the lives of many people but satisfied his bloodlust and his own selfish desires. Born on May 21st, 1960, Dahmer started out as a small child that seemed to be happy and quiet.
He would loiter at the gay bars in town or the mall and would entice men with free alcohol and money if they agreed to pose for photographs (Biography). When Dahmer could get one alone, he would give them medications to inhibit functionality and would strangle them to death before having sex with the corpses. Once he was done he would dispose of the body and repeat the cycle. Like most serial killers, he would keep parts of the bodies, like the skull, as trophies as well as keep Polaroid’s of the victims so he would recreate the previous murder. It was said “he would clean much like he did with his childhood road kill collection and often refrigerated organs which he would on occasion eat.”
The name Jeffrey Dahmer flooded the minds of the nation with trepidation and terror. He was a man that could not be understood by society.

His next victim was James Doxtator in January of the next year. James was fourteen, a Native American, and Dahmer lured him to his apartment by asking him to pose for nude photos. After he had sex with the boy, drugged him, strangled him and dismembered him, Jeffrey smashed his bones with a sledgehammer. He had two more victims after James, which he killed similarly.

In the 'Slender Man ' case, I believe that the two 12-year old girls are not competent to stand trial for attempted murder. In order to determine an adolescent’s competence to stand trial, their developmental immaturity, intellectual disability, and mental illness should be evaluated (Bath & Gerring, 2014). However, it is important to remember that these factors do not immediately rule that an adolescent is incompetent; it is the presence of one of these factors that can increase that possibility (Bath & Gerring, 2014). In this case, two 12-year old girls lured their friend into the wood to murder her in honor of ‘Slender Man’, a mythological character. Both these girls have demonstrated deficits in their development neurologically, intellectually, emotionally, and psychosocially (Scott & Grisso, 2004).
