About this deal

He also wonders whether his son’s shyness as a child was a red flag portraying his murderous tendencies. As of 2023, Dahmer lives alone in Ohio, after his second wife, Shari, died in January 2023 at the age of 81. In some sense, our relationship never recovered from the damage done to it at this early stage, never really improved. Then again, Joyce Dahmer had had a difficult pregnancy and had been prescribed different medications while pregnant with Jeffrey.

She graduated from Oberlin College, where she earned a double degree in American History and French. The father and son bonded over an odd activity: bleaching animal bones from rodents they found dead under their house. For all the latest Netflix news, drops, quizzes and memes like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook. Lionel Herbert Dahmer was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, on July 29, 1936, to Herbert Walter Dahmer, a high-school math teacher and barber, whom Dahmer described as "a good father, as caring and concerned as any child would wish", [2] and Catherine Jemima Hughes, a housewife. He apparently was not contacted about the 2022 Netflix show about his son’s crimes, and has offered no public statements about it.Lionel's figure has been controversial in the subsequent years since his son's crimes, as both he and his former wife have been accused of neglecting Dahmer during his childhood. Dahmer enrolled in the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1954 and obtained his BS in chemistry in 1959.

Lionel reportedly stayed in regular contact with Jeffrey and visited him in prison alongside his wife Shari. On July 23 1991 Lionel Dahmer discovered his son, Jeffrey Dahmer, was a serial killer but where is he now?In A Father\'s Story, the reader is witness to the incremental unraveling of a parent\'s image of their child, and the "thousand different reactions" that follow. Meanwhile, Lionel Dahmer tried to figure out what had gone so wrong in Jeffrey’s childhood that it turned him into a killer. He also blames himself for Jeffrey’s flaws saying he was negligent and probably didn’t give enough to Jeffrey emotionally. He stood by his son’s side during his trial, during which Jeffrey was sentenced to 15 life sentences, and continued to visit Jeffrey while he was behind bars.

Later, he enrolled at Iowa State University, where he earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in October 1966. His character features in the first episode of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and it turns out Lionel is still alive today. Their relationship devolved during Jeffrey’s childhood, leading to a divorce in 1978 so bitter that each accused the other of “extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. As they later told Larry King during a CNN interview, Jeffrey never told them that he spent his days looking for dead animals when he was between 12 and 14.During the early years of Jeffrey's life, Dahmer's academic responsibilities and, later on, long work shifts prevented him with spending enough time with his wife and children. Though Lionel was absent for much of Jeffrey’s childhood while pursuing his doctorate degree, he made a concerted effort to bond with his firstborn son.

Or maybe, he mused, it was something genetic, a ticking time bomb deep in Jeffrey’s DNA that he or his wife had unknowingly passed onto their children. I wasn’t told what these other mothers and fathers were told, that their sons were dead at the hands of a murderer,” Lionel later recounted in his book.
