Why Netflixâs Dahmer Sandwich Scene Unlikely Happened
Netflixâs âDahmer -Monster: The True Story of Jeffrey Dahmerâ is been a true success worldwide and it collected more than 1b hours views, becoming the #3 most popular TV (English) on Netflix (#4 considering the Non-English TV top). Besides the show portraits the events in a pretty faithful way, there are some differences and inaccuracies, and one of the most famous (and one of the creepiest) scenes is one of them.
During the episode 7 âCassandraâ, Dahmer (portrayed by Evan Peters) goes visit the neighbour to excuse his behaviour which caused some complaints from the tenants, offering the woman an handmade sandwich. The tension of the scene comes from the doubtful content of the ingredients, making the spectator think that it isnât animalâs meat but humanâs. But did this really happen? (Un)fortunately, as much this scene blows peopleâs mind and itâs so much discussed, itâs most probably a fake.
What are the reasons why itâs considered a fake?
At first it goes in contrasts with Dahmerâs modus operandi. He would have never risked to get caught offering other people a sandwich. He mostly kept everything to himself, not showing a hint of his macabre actions to other people. He installed cameras and alarms into his apartment and he barely had contacts with the neighbours. He met and spoke with Bass spouses sometimes, where they visited each otherâs apartments at times, but they never had a close friendship nor they knew each other very well. He wouldnât have risked it all doing this gruesome âjokeâ.
At second the cannibalism act, as grisly it is, it was a very deep deed for Dahmer himself. It was a projection of his needs, the next step of feeling someone near to him. It was a process who brought him to consume the meat based on an extreme personal feeling, which he couldnât share to anyone. It wasnât an action of a psychopath or a sadistic act to feel more evil and twisted, but an intense desire to keep someone with him as much as possible, having their meat connected to Jeffrey Dahmer himself, to become âoneâ (source - Jeffrey Dahmer confession). He didnât kill for fun, but for his own (sick) necessities, and so the sandwich action couldnât belong to his persona, but he simply couldnât share it.
At last but not least, the source is not been confirmed, nor itâs been denied officially. Pamela Bass, Jeffreyâs neighbour, claimed she ate one of those sandwiches and that Jeffrey was used to cook for people at Oxford apartments. Her ex husband, Vernell Bass, denied everything saying the ex wife made this story up as the case blown up, explaining Jeffrey didnât even cook for himself, and if everything was real, he would have never accepted a meal from a neighbour whose house stank terribly at first place. But until today itâs only Vernellâs word against Pamelaâs, and no one really intervened clearing everything up, not even the same Jeffrey did.
