Why Killers Kill?

E1: Jeffrey Dahmer - The case of the 'Milwaukee Cannibal'


Listen Later

In the first episode of our true crime series, we dive into one of the most infamous cases in American history: Jeffrey Dahmer, the “Milwaukee Cannibal.”

From his troubled childhood and early psychological red flags to his chilling crimes, evasion of capture, and ultimate downfall, this episode unpacks the psychology, systemic failures, and societal blind spots that allowed Dahmer to operate for over a decade.

Rather than sensationalizing his actions, we focus on:

  • The roots of his behavior
  • The overlooked victims—many from marginalized communities
  • The broader lessons about mental health, stigma, and law enforcement failures

🔎 In this episode, we cover:

  • Dahmer’s early life and family environment
  • Psychological traits and disorders linked to his behavior
  • His pattern of crimes and need for control
  • Systemic failures that let him go unchecked
  • The trial, aftermath, and his controversial legacy
