Confessions of a Serial Killer: Jeffrey DahmerIn February 1994, NBC's Stone Phillips met serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer for his only network television interview. He traveled to the prison with Jeffrey Dahmer's father, Lionel, and his step-mother, Shari.

An innocent Midwestern boy and a withdrawn and peculiar teen, Jeffrey Dahmer lived a ghastly double life as an adult, ultimately becoming known as one of the most notorious and grotesque serial killers in America.

Dahmer killed 17 young men, and even turned to cannibalism. Through an exclusive interview with Dahmer, as well as with his mother and father, this program takes an extended look inside the mind of a serial killer.

I believe you have to look at more than just one interview, more than just one person as well. I don’t know if any of you have seen the photos of how he posed the headless bodies in the beds , spider like so he could have sex with them or how he would make a hole to use instead of using what was available or how he would have sex for hours with them before disposal, how he would have sex with living persons but because they would move he would become angry and was unable to get aroused with living persons . He viewed them only as what he wanted them for . Have you ever seen therapists explain about psychopaths and how sexual deviants are actually using others as a form masterbation and psychopaths are really just having sex with themselves while doing it because they are narcissistic . I personally believe that you need to listen to what isn’t being said in the videos , so much that is said is what they have heard others say and just repeating what they have heard. I personally believe that they knew and their families knew and people in contact with them throughout their lives , that their was something very different from the very beginning . I personally believe that Dahmer couldn’t connect with anyone throughout his life and really didn’t care to until he reached sexual maturity, he was very neglected as well as being born with problems and compound that with a mother on drugs during pregnancy and while he was a child , absent father , frequent arguments between the two and then for activities with his father they would dissolve the flesh off dead rodents when he was a child . No normalcy whatsoever in the whole family , compounded by being born with psychopathic tendencies. The more I see if serial killers , psychopaths videos and studies , lectures from doctors of the mind - the more I see that truly there is nothing there whatsoever in those types of people

Sad that Jeffrey's taking more accountability for his actions than his delusional mother. How do you not know or remember what you took during your pregnancy? Prescription or not!

Also blaming atheism... Of course he would blame atheism, he is in American prison at the time, where converting to Christianity increases your chances of being seen favorably and increases chances for paroles etc. "I was an atheist when I butchered those people, but now I am a good Christian you guys can trust me."

Dane87 hit it on the head, some people vehemently against atheism seem to suggest that atheists, as humans, would throw out all concepts of ethics, morals and law because they refuse to believe in the concept of god. This is some very backwards and dangerous thinking, likely just part of propaganda against atheism and affirmation of Christianity/Judaism/Islam etc.

Weird topic, but the circumcision thing... Is anyone defending infant circumcision a victim of a botched circumcision? I would guess not, look up some research on that, it might change your mind.

This is the most blatantly exploitative distasteful s*it I have ever seen. The title graphics, bumpers and music are RIDICULOUS and disrespectful to the victims and the audience.

When asked why he did it, "If a person doesn't believe there is God to be held accountable to, then what is the point of modifying behavior, I always believed in evolution theory....." Be careful what you teach young people, evolution has great company: Dahmer, Stalin, Hitler, etc

This guy had done wicked things to animals and had lost his moral compass and sense of guilt from childhood. Probably due to heavy drinking and probably due to his personality disorder and sexual deviant behaviour, he then made that leap to inflicting the evil on humans. He seems highly intelligent and able to speak about it totally calm and dettached almost, which is quite creepy. What I don't get is how he could stand the smell of rotting bodies and environment he was living in all those years. The UK had a serial killer similar to Dahmer, this guy Dennis Nielsen who killed men and kept them in his apartment for sexual reasons in a similar way, he also got away with it for a similarly long time and held down a normal job. He was even once a police officer.

In a nutshell, Dahmer's philosophy of life the buck stops with you. You, yourself are responsible in the end for your own behavior. There is a point when you no longer can blame your upbringing on your own choices.

I cannot find certain proof but all signs point to the fact that Jeffrey Dahmer was circumcised. The book about him, The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer by Brian Masters, does not mention circumcision one way or the other, however it seems VERY likely that he would have mentioned had he forgone circumcision as it would have been particularly unusual in the Midwest at the time. Also an uncircumcised penis is often mentioned on autopsy reports in America as it's only now that intact/uncircumcised is becoming more popular again, but it was not mentioned on his. Finally, his (awful) parents would have thoughtlessly done whatever the hospital suggested. Dahmer's circumcision would fit the pattern that serial/mass/lust killers first exposure to violence was their circumcision. (Of course, I'm not saying circ. hurts all men so badly, but it does appear to have happened to killers more often than not.)

Jeffrey Dahmer talked about at first in his life he didn,t believe in got,but now he thinks got is who made us all.I,m not a person who goes to church each week,but I always somewhat believed that there,s a god up there looking down on us all.I watched a doucmentary how the world was made,there was no mention of god into making this world.Started out of rock in the atmosphere billions of years ago,and the fish and animals came from organisms etc.And the way it explained humans came maybe from monkeys and we evolved from there.So what i,m trying to say with a question mark in my brain, is there a god looking down on us.Who truly knows the truth,but I hope there is.

suppressed homosexuality and pagan-cults people like to call religion are the root of all evil and that goes on for too long period of time...being able to accept the fact of our mortality is a painful, but not just worthy,it is the only way that raises awareness which helps us to stay sane and away from twisted behavior.however,the idea of GAY-gene and their extinction through gay marriages is tempting,but sadly ridiculous

Really People ,were taking this interview and turning it into a moral issue about being Gay and Religion ,I believe in God and I couldn't care less whether someone is Gay or whatever as long as they aren't hurting anybody who cares .Please don't lump all religion into being the big bad Satan of mankind .Just as I don't pigeon hole everyone into having the same sexual preferences .Now back to what this Documentary is about PLEASE!!

"Any words I say to the victims Families are just going to seem trite and empty" just like the statement and the words it ( the Demon) used through the whole interview are TRITE and EMPTY.I could see when Stone's skin was starting to crawl when Stone folded his arms across his body . Those are feelings of emotion as Stone said it to was Eerie (as Demons are) to interview it !! That demon was void of any emotion. I am so sorry that poor innocent men were sacrificed for it's pleasure.But I hope they know God has a special place in Heaven for each of them . I am SURE God has a special place in Hell for it! I think it believes if you just ask Jesus for forgiveness that's it your forgiven NO ,you will be judged by God for your deeds and dealt with accordingly . Thanks Stone ,in my eyes the answer to why the thing did what it did , it said it itself ,for his own sick sadistic pleasure .I'm sorry for not having any feelings for the parents but they are trying a bit to hard to put the blame on something else,when it told them why it did it and he has no excuses for it .And as far as him being murdered ,well there are only men in that prison so as I see it ,they were just protecting themselves from the fantasies of Jeffery Dahmer.

Perhaps Dahmers mother had fits and had to be injected with barbiturates during her pregnancy because she was carrying Rosemary's baby...a monster! lol

from wikipedia, about the "zombies" thing..."Dahmer got the idea that he could turn his victims into "zombies" — completely submissive, eternally youthful sexual partners — and attempted to do so by drilling holes into their skulls and injecting hydrochloric acid or boiling water into the frontal lobe area of their brains with a large syringe, while the victim was usually still alive."

It seems to me his parents where controlling him heavely and he had no freedom he was told what to do from early on like all children in our time. And children perhaps because of that protection almost prison then begin to develop in strange ways thats why his obsession for control was so big, he had never had control over something.

OFcourse not all children react in this way but the personality is formed by these situations and it might lead to small quircks and large abnormalities. If you take away the freedom of your kid out of an obsession for protection you in part take away his humanity.

all speculation ofcourse but one does think how a child develops in this way, I'm sure it was because of the family situation and also other elements that came from within.

This is probably one of the reasons God says 'I hate divorce'...it screws kid up...
causes major phsycological trauma to a child...which i believe then opened door to demonic influences............ thoughts and then actions..

Why are people so particularly mortified by 'serial killers' when there are millions of those in society who voluntarily join the military with that same purpose, all inclusive of torture and sexual pleasure (rape) and much more? They should sit down with those people and ask the same questions.

Good fruit cannot be produced from bad seeds. The father wasn't right either.
Women be careful with who you have children with because you just don't know what you may give birth to. The mother seems to be in denial about her pregnancy with this monster sounds like some Rosemary's baby type crap.

Jeff was GAY. His father and religion suppressed it to the point that he collected the HEAD and GENITALS of the men he wanted to have sex and love with.

Two lessons here...

1) If your gay, do not suppress it.
2) If your religious, be careful, it may suppress things further.

I am not gay... but I was raised by my mother only. So, I can understand, but not practice homosexuality.

Homo's are BORN this way. ( Yes, there are some cases where people can be traumatized into it... but by and large, Gay people are born that way. )

I also find it sad that both parents made money off book deals and interviews. But, that is not their fault, but the monetary systems.

A lot of human lessons to be learned from Serial Killers. Believe it or not.

Finally, here is WHY society must NOT supress homosexuality.

If gay people are allowed to get married, they will NOT have sex and make more children... and pass on the Gay gene to the future. In fact, eventually, the Gay gene will become less frequent and less Homo's will exist.

So, it is a WIN-WIN for Gay haters and for Gays.

Amazing when you put a little science in there to fix things. :)

If you are Gay, do not feel bad. It is who you are. But, I must say that using the anus as a vagina will NOT continue the human species... so although I am NOT a Gay 'hater'... I DO believe that being Gay is not entirely beneficial for the contionuation of our species ! ! ! It is just basic birds and the bees, people!

But, here is the kicker. Gay men can offer insight into the Feminine and Masculine. It is what it is. Sorry about the rant. But, too bad.

I suffered watching this almost to the end when the lightbulb went on 'was he jewish'? Reason I asked was because it would have to be jews to make such a fanfare with deadpan publicity for a book, out of this psychopathic handiwork.

So, it's a no-brainer; he was medicated in the womb and then circumcised, hence the fear of losing his penis and the compulsion to mutilate others. The power thing about wanting to completely control a good looking goy, is typically jewish.

Mmm seems to me this guy thinks he is a god, and he killed to be the greator
of his own gult, i don't think he knew this at his time of killings but after. He has developed this god way of thinking and being ashamed of the way humans act. He needed a way to show he has the power to deal with the wickard crimes human kinds can do so acted out the crimes and delt with them as a god in his own mind.

Next :)

I profoundly dislike these kind of cheezy spectacular TV program. Wouldn't even call that a documentary. But the subject is very interesting, disturbing of course. But i can't learn nothing with that kind of spectacle. This is TV at is worst. With these awful Stone Phillips, offset angle camera shot at the beginning, and these cheap hollywood montage mockumentary effects make want to puke my chicken on my mac. The guy is serial child killer for god's sake, do they have to do anything else than just show the guy.
