Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the most notorious serial killers of all time. Beginning in 1978, the “Milwaukee Monster” butchered at least 17 young men and boys. He even cannibalized some of them. And his heinous crimes continued until he was finally caught in 1991.

But though his story is well known around the world, less is known about Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims.

They were all young, ranging in age from 14 to 32. Many of them were gay minorities, and nearly all of them were impoverished and extremely vulnerable.
