The next day, Dahmer dissected Hicks’ body in the crawlspace of the house before burying the remains in a shallow grave in the backyard. Once Hicks was dead, Dahmer undressed the body and masturbated while staring at the corpse. After the blows, Hicks was unconscious and Dahmer strangled him with the bar of the dumbbell. Dahmer then struck Hicks twice with a 10 lb dumbbell from behind while he was sitting in a chair. After a few hours of drinking and listening to music, Hicks was getting ready to leave, but Dahmer didn’t want him to go. The family home was temporarily vacant while Dahmer’s parents were going through a divorce. Hicks was hitchhiking when Dahmer picked him up, and lured him back to his parents’ house with the promise of drinking and listening to music. His first victim Steven Mark Hicks (pictured below) would set the tone for Dahmer’s killings. Dahmer began his murderous career in 1978 at the age of 18. According to classmates, Dahmer would drink liquor from a concealed flask during the school day. In high school, Dahmer was also known to have a drinking problem. He explained that he wanted to know how each animal “fitted together.” Later, he would dissect and dismember them. When he was young, Dahmer would collect animal carcasses from the side of the road. The only indication of what was to comewas a strong interest in animals and their carcasses. By all accounts Dahmer was a quiet child and not a trouble maker. His nickname in the press after his arrest was the “Milwaukee Cannibal” if that’s any indication of the heinous crimes he committed. From 1978 until 1991, Dahmer was responsible for the rape, death, and dismemberment of 17 men and boys in the Milwaukee area. In the world of serial killers, the story of Jeffrey Dahmer may be the most twisted.
