Dahmer, Jeffrey(born May 21, 1960, Milwaukee, Wis., U.S.—died Nov. 28, 1994, Portage, Wis.) U.S. serial killer. In 1992 he confessed to killing, dismembering, and, in some cases, cannibalizing 16 young men, chiefly near his Milwaukee home, in a killing spree that started in 1978, when he murdered a young hitchhiker. The grim details, including his freezer packed with human body parts, made global news. His insanity plea was rejected by a jury, and he was sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms in 1992 (a 16th was later added for the 16th murder). He was murdered by a fellow inmate in 1994.
