Dubbed the "Milwaukee Monster", Dahmer features in new Netflix documentary Dark Tourist, exploring hotspots made famous by hair-raising crimes
THIS is the sketch of plans for a 'shrine of skulls' drawn by a serial killer who killed - and in some cases ATE - 17 men and boys.
American Jeffrey Dahmer, dubbed the "Milwaukee Monster", notoriously killed, dismembered and ate his victims from 1978 to 1991.
Their body parts were discovered in his apartment, including three heads preserved in a fridge.
Dahmer, who had homosexual fantasies and would drug and rape his victims, was busted in 1991 when one managed to escape.
He was sentenced to 900 years in jail before being murdered by a fellow inmate in 1994.
A new Netflix series 'Dark Tourist', explores the attraction that brings punters fascinated with places historically associated with death and tragedy.
As he approaches Milwaukee, presenter David Farrier says of the city: "It's famous for beer and cheese, and a serial killer."
Dahmer has attracted a bizarre cult following over the years and Farrier met with one fanatic called Natalie — a self-proclaimed “dark tourist”.
She enthusiastically explains why his story is so fascinating: “There’s never been a case quite like his, where there were lobotomies, attempts to turn people into zombies, cannibalism, all of this in one.
“He wasn’t a sadist either, he actually granted the small mercy of drugging and strangling his victims..."
Then, things get weird when she holds the skull of a “South American male” - and when Ferrier asks if there are similarities between her and Dahmer, she denies it but confesses she’s “weird”.
But things get even stranger when they meet Dahmer’s lawyer Wendy Patrickus, who pulls out a piece of paper detailing the twisted shrine Dahmer built in his apartment.
“He saved the entire bodies of these two on the end... he had a thing for hands, he’d save the hands a lot of times and obviously the penis,” she explains, pointing to the drawing.
A shocked Farrier struggles to comprehend what he is seeing. Natalie sits there entranced as she absorbs the details of the image.
“It’s so odd because it’s almost like a child’s drawing and yet it’s about something so incredibly... I mean this is like True Detective or something right, but beyond,” Farrier says.
“Way beyond”, Wendy agrees.
He continues: “It’s so eerie thinking of Dahmer drawing this, and signing it.”
As they leave the room, Farrier asks Natalie “How was that for you.” She gushes over how incredible it was.
“Seeing the papers that she has, the drawing of the shrine that he made, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.”
He agrees that the simple line drawing was “captivating”.
“As someone who’s never killed anyone, or made a trophy room full of skulls, it’s kind of fascinating getting inside the mind of someone who has,” Farrier continues.
“I think that’s why people like me and Natalie are drawn to this stuff, it’s like taking a weird holiday.
Here’s one final grisly detail the tourists are told: Dahmer had tried to create a sex slave that wouldn’t have any needs, wouldn’t speak or do much in general. But he still wanted them alive, so he drilled a few centimetres into their skulls, and poured boiling water inside.
