Some lesser known Jeffrey Dahmer facts:
Jeff had air fresheners throughout his apartment when tenants in the Oxford Apartments complained about the smell (of the bodies), he blamed it on his freezer breaking and meat spoiling
He went to Ohio State, with his father paying for him to study in business but he failed to turn up to most of his classes and when he did, he was drunk, his roommates back in college described him as “weird” and told of a few times they were sure Jeff stole from them to supply booze for himself
As a teenager him and a friend of his, Jeff Six were cautioned for driving over somebody’s front lawn while high on marijuana
When Jeff was in the army (where he later got discharged for alcohol problems) he frequently drank and got into trouble a few times, the worst of these times was when several men turned on Jeff and beat him up severely, he was bloody and his ear-drum was broken, causing him to suffer periodic attacks of ear-ache even ten years later
He worked at Sunshine Subs (a sandwich place) when he was in Miami, he also worked at a blood plasma center as a phlebotomist (where his job was basically taking blood from volunteers) in Wisconsin, he worked at a temp agency for a while and then moved onto his job as a mixer in a chocolate factory
Jeff didn’t like the taste of blood, when he worked at the blood plasma center he took a vial of blood up to the roof and drank it, he said he spat it out and didn’t like it
He once wrote “When my father came home I was happy.” “When my mother came home, I was watching TV.”
When asked if he loved his grandmother he strangely replied “Yes, she’s lived in that house a long time”
Jeff took up smoking in the army and when he returned he was smoking a pack a day
He once made a sexual advance on his brother David when he was 24 and his brother 18, when they were sharing a bed, Jeff said about the situation “He didn’t go for that at all, that’s for sure. He told me so in the morning”, Jeff said he made an apology to his brother, and that he felt embarrassed and disappointed
Jeff once said “It would have been better if I’d just stuck to the mannequins, much much better”
