Born to Kill? (2005)
S01E03 Jeffrey Dahmer
Episode Overview
Title: Jeffrey Dahmer Plot: Jeffrey Dahmer was a deeply troubled individual whose heinous acts included the rape, murder, and dismemberment of 17 young men. Similar to other notorious criminals like John Wayne Gacy, Dahmer skillfully avoided detection while committing his horrific crimes. He, like many sociopathic killers, felt entirely justified in his monstrous behavior. What drives someone like Dahmer to become a serial killer, necrophile, and cannibal? While some theories point to childhood trauma or substance abuse as potential influences, they may not fully explain Dahmer's chilling transformation into a psychopath.
