Jeffrey Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment complex was razed in 1992 — a 12 months after the cannibal killer was caught concealing the stays of 11 of his victims on the premises.
However the Ohio home where the murderer committed his first slaying remains to be standing and is the topic of intense interest within the wake of Netflix’s wildly popular latest series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
The three-bed, three-bath property is positioned on a big 1.5-acre lot in Bath Township, an affluent suburb of Akron, and is currently estimated to be value $372,000 by Zillow.
The two,170-square-foot home was built back in 1952 — 16 years before Dahmer moved into the residence along with his dad Lionel, mom, Joyce, and younger brother, David.
There, Dahmer developed a fascination with dissecting the bodies of dead animals and commenced fantasizing about controlling a very submissive male partner.
In 1978, the then 18-year-old committed the primary of his 17 murders, picking up hitchhiker Steven Hicks before bringing him back to the house.
Within the front room of the residence, Dahmer bludgeoned Hicks with a 10-pound dumbbell and subsequently strangled him to death.
In keeping with the FBI, the sick killer had sex with Hicks’ corpse before dissecting the body within the basement.
Weeks later, Dahmer crushed the body’s bones with a sledgehammer before scattering them in woodlands behind the house.
Dahmer eventually moved out of the home several years later when his father sold the property.
The residence modified hands several times over the following a long time, including multiple times after the killer’s 1991 arrest.
The 70-year-old home has undergone extensive renovations for the reason that days Dahmer lived there, with recent listing photos showing the house complete with modern wood floors and chrome steel appliances.
Musician Chris Butler bought the house for $244,500 back in 2005, with the rocker telling the Observer: “The home has an amazing vibe, I mean, in any case, the house didn’t kill anybody, and I don’t consider in ghosts, and there’s absolutely no reason to think there’s anything untoward here.”
Butler put the house up on the market for $329,000 in 2012 before later removing it from the market.
In 2014, the house was listed once more — this time for $299,999. In keeping with the Zillow listing, the house once more failed to seek out a buyer and it was again taken down on the market.
It appears Butler still owns the house, and he even let scenes from the 2017 movie
“My Friend Dahmer” be filmed on the property. The flick starred actress Anne Heche, who died following a automotive crash earlier this 12 months.
