“He was truly a loner; in fact phone company records show that during the entire time he lived at the Oxford Arms address, not a single phone call came into his apartment.

The more time i spent with him chronicling facts around his activities the more I felt sorry for him. He was a pathetically lonely and inept human being”. -Detective Pat Kennedy, Dahmer Detective

when none of your friends are into true crime:

“what no one knew was that the newlyweds were already bound by ties stronger than marriage - the killing of two innocent teenage girls.” - the fifth estate, paul bernardo and karla homolka.

It was time to arrest Jeffrey Dahmer.  Officers Rauth and Mueller told him to place his hands behind his back so that they could handcuff him, and that was the first time he resisted them.  As the two officers put their hands on his arms, Dahmer stiffened and forced his arms forward.  Suddenly the three of them began spinning and tumbling into the living room, crashing across the floor, and yelling as they fought for control.  The whole building seemed to shake, some of the residents remembered, and there were terrible screams from inside the apartment…Then they heard Dahmer’s voice bellowing and a different voice, maybe one of the cops, yelled that he’d been scratched.  There were more violent crashes and shaking as Dahmer tried to force himself up against the combined weight of the two detectives.

Then there was a sudden, long, earsplitting scream that seemed to penetrate through the walls and out into the street.  It was a scream so profound in its misery that the people who heard it were frightened and saddened at the very same time.  This was Dahmer’s scream of acquiescence, a primal scream, a death scream.

Sounds like something someone guilty would say.

Gary Ridgway aka The Green River Killer with his poodles 

He was initially convicted of 48 separate murders and later confessed to nearly twice that number. 

According to a former neighbour Ridgway used to “scoop the dogshit out of his yard and would throw it in the middle of the street”

On Herbert Mullin:

He’d sit over there and sing these horrible songs; he couldn’t sing a lick, at all, and he’s singing these horrible songs. One time I was in the car coming back to Redwood City and the cop got so upset at the singing he’s doing in the back of the station wagon that he turns around with this can of mace and he says, “I’ve had it! Get out of the way, Kemper!” And I’m saying, “Hey, wait a minute, you’re gonna get me with that stuff!” He’s trying to mace the guy in the back of the car ‘cause he won’t shut up. …He had this way of really getting on people’s nerves.

Herbert Mullin killed 13 people between 1972 and 1973. Mullin claimed to have heard voices which told him of an imminent earthquake and that the only way to save California was through murder.

basically

It’s better to be wanted for murder than not being wanted at all.
