It was on July 22, 1991 that Dahmer’s string of violent crime would finally come to an end. According to Biography, one Tracy Edwards, 32 years old, contacted police after he narrowly escaped Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment, where Dahmer reportedly drugged and intended to kill him. Authorities returned to the scene and arrested Dahmer on sight, and what they found within his residence was enough to inspire horrific, inescapable nightmares for the rest of their lives. Severed heads, body parts preserved in jars, human skulls, and a stash of Polaroid photos displaying the mutilated bodies of his unfortunate victims were exhumed during the rigorous search.
