Plot Synopsis

JEFFREY DAHMER: KILLER CANNIBAL is a two-part documentary that chronicles the life of murderous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the most shocking cases of a person descending into chaos and committing atrocious acts of depravity. From his combative parents, issues of abandonment and alcoholism all at a young age to his obsession with experimenting on dead animals and deeply taboo sexual urges Dahmer went on to commit his first murder at just 18 years old. He would go on to create a chamber of horrors inside his infamous #213 apartment in Milwaukee, WI where he'd take his first bite of human flesh and claim several more victims. Neighbors would hear strange noises and smell awful stenches with no idea of the unspeakable horrors going on inside Dahmer's modest apartment. Hear from his former neighbor Pamela Bass who shares her first-hand account of befriending the oddball Dahmer only to grow weary of his strange behavior and later learn of his heinous crimes. Viewers will also hear from psychologists Dr. Fred Berlin and Dr. Sherry Ginn along with crime writer Shirley Lynn Scott who shed light on why the fascination surrounding this real life horror story persists in culture via movies and TV shows. ReelzChannel premiered the documentary on consecutive nights at 9pm ET/6pm PT on Sunday, May 19 and Monday, May 20.
