1
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Hi, guys, Nancy Grace here

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: to tell you about an incredible new true crime documentary

3
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: series from all of us at Fox Nation. The documentary

4
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: is titled My Son Jeffrey, The Dahmer Family Takes. It's

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: a four part series and it charts the life of

6
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: the notorious serial killer and cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer. And that

7
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: is what sets Dahmer apart from many other serial killers

8
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: we hear about them. There's Ted Bundy, There's bt K,

9
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: There's Long Island serial killer. The deed goes on and

10
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: on and on serial killers. This guy not only it's

11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: a serial killer, he ate the evidence. The four part

12
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: docuseriies features exclusive and never before heard phone recordings, and

13
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: these recordings are between Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal serial killer,

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: and his father, Lionel. The calls were made when Jeffrey

15
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Dahmer was behind bars in a prison cell. Now, as

16
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: you know, inmates can call out and there is a

17
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: constant recording going every x seconds or minutes saying you

18
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: are taking a call from a correctional institute. But this

19
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: is the father, Lionel, desperately trying to make sense of

20
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the things his son has done, and Jeffrey Dahmer is

21
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: speaking candidly and openly to probably the only person in

22
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the world he trusts, his father. This may truly be

23
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: the first real glimpse we get as to who is

24
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer now practically speaking as a trial lawyer. Do

25
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: I care who Jeffrey Dahmer is? No, I don't care.

26
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what his thoughts and dreams are. No.

27
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: But I have to admit I am curious. You know

28
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: how when you go to the zoo and you see

29
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the snakes, the poisonous snakes behind a glass case. Yeah,

30
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: I look at them, but I don't want to get

31
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: in the case with them. I'm curious. I'm curious, And

32
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: this documentary answers so many questions, again possibly the first

33
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: real glimpse we get of Jeffrey Dahmer. The series features

34
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: unprecedented firsthand testimonies from Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood friends. This guy

35
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: actually had friends. Yes, former roommates, Yes, he had former

36
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: roommates that he did not kill and eat, neighbors, law

37
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: enforcement agents that work the case, and, in my mind,

38
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: most important, the people that were horribly affected by Dahmer's

39
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: crimes as a crime victim myself. I know it changes

40
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: your life forever. Can you imagine? Can you imagine your

41
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: son being sex assaulted, raped, murdered, and eaten by Jeffrey Dahmer.

42
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, for gosh, well over a decade Dahmer raped,

43
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: murdered and cannibalized young men throughout Wisconsin and Ohio, seventeen

44
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: that we know of. And Dahmer is asked by his

45
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: father what his most disturbing and early all of the

46
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: fantasies were. You know, very often we opine that serial

47
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: killers are really born. In other words, they exhibit stereotypical

48
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: textbook behavior such as being cruel to other children, being

49
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: cruel to animals, torturing, killing animals, dissecting animals. It goes

50
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: all the way back to dissecting bugs before they get

51
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: to animals. What do we know about Jeffrey Dahmer. The

52
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: docuseries has truly unprecedented first hand accounts from people in

53
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Dahmer's life, going all the way back to his childhood.

54
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: It also includes exclusive Dahmer family home movies. It's really

55
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: hard to imagine Jeffrey Dahmer caught as a little boy

56
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: going down a snow covered hell and a little sled

57
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: or in front of the Christmas tree. I almost don't

58
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: even want to think about that, but it's real. The

59
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: documentary includes the family home movies and a brand new

60
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: insight into one of the world's most notorious, most infamous killers.

61
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,360

00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: favorite crime stories, and just so much more, including my

71
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: son Jeffrey. The Dahmer Family takes some of the facts

72
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: that many jurors would probably turn away from. Of course,

73
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Dahmer has seventeen known victims, all male, between the ages

74
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of fourteen and thirty three. Can you imagine that a

75
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: fourteen year old little boy being raped, murdered, and cannibalized

76
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: by Jeffrey Dahmer. He often used drug laced alcohol to

77
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: incapacitate his victims before killing them and then having sex

78
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: with their bodies. That's not a fact that's going to

79
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: help you sleep easy tonight. The murders were extremely brutal.

80
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Dahmer once drilled a hole and one teen victim, Aaron

81
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: Lindsay's head, and poured hydrochloric acid into his head. One

82
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: victim escaped that we know of, Tracy Edwards, and led

83
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: police to Dahmer's apartment, where they found evidence of multiple murders.

84
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't hard once they found him, because Jeff Dahmer

85
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: actually kept body parts, bones, polaroid photos off his victims

86
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: as what we call souvenirs. Like you and I, I'm

87
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: a big scrapbooker, I keep photo albums. He kept souvenirs

88
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: of his murder victims. Of course, jeff Dahmer was sentenced

89
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: to fifteen consecutive life sentences until uh oh, he was

90
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: beaten dead by a guy named Scarver. As I recall

91
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: at the Columbia Correctional Institute, my son, Jeffrey, my son, Jeffrey.

92
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: The Dahmer family takes only on Fox Nation, Nancy Gray

93
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 1: signing off goodbye friend,
