Reading about Jeffrey Dahmer left me similarly shaken. One of his victims -- Konerak Sinthasomphone -- managed to escape out onto the street and contact some women who called the police.
When the police officers (John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish) arrived, Dahmer managed to convince the them that it was a gay lovers' quarrel and the officers let Dahmer take Sinthasomphone home again.
Can you imagine the horror of escaping torment and certain death, only to be handed right back to your tormenter by the police?
- tempestn 13y agoHoly shit. This victim, who 31 year old Dahmer claimed was his lover, was also 14 years old at the time, and the police returned him (naked and bleeding) despite his protests. (Sinthasomphone was disoriented at the time, having been drugged, but apparently still did protest.) At least the officer was fired: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Balcerzak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Balcerzak

- tempestn 13y agoWow. Missed that part.
- ekianjo 13y agoHow is that even possible after such misconduct? Words fail me. Don't they even feel ashamed of appealing ?
- allochthon 13y agoThat's distressing.
- Pxtl 13y ago> having been drugged ... reading the other wikipedia article, Dahmer had also performed an experiment on him that would've also impared his cognition pretty severely. I'm not going to write the details since it was NSFL, but I'm surprised people didn't notice it.
