However many people have found it difficult enough to witness accounts of Jeffrey’s crimes on the video-sharing platform while other social media platform users have enjoyed hunting up actual photos.
Ever since streaming giant has released the new crime thriller series, “‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” starring Evan Peters in the role of serial killer, the series has aroused intense debate.
Many viewers have criticized the biography for being too graphic and disrespectful to the victim’s.
Even though many people seem to be obsessed as the search term ‘Jeffrey Dahmer Victim Polaroids’ has reached 531.2 million views on the platform.
As of now the video-sharing platform has started making moves to remove some of the unspeakable content from the platform however one user managed to post an edited footage with the title, “Jeffrey Dahmer real polaroids.”
The user has captioned it as “EDITED REPOST!! [Because] TikTok took down the unedited one with 130k views.”
After that countless users started speaking out against the sickening trend.
Meanwhile many others criticized those who expressed their displeasure at the images questioning their purpose for searching them in the first place.
For those who are unaware, let us tell you, the serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, killed and dismembered 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991.
The investigations discovered horrible Polaroid pictures of their bodies all over his house. After he was arrested and interrogated, Jeffrey explained that he often photographed his victims.
He stated that he Photographed his victims at different stages of the killing process, so he could recall and relive the experience.
According to a report by The Sun, Dahmer in his statement said, “It was my way of remembering their appearance, their physical beauty. I also wanted to keep.
When Tracy Edwards, the 18th victim of Dahmer managed to flee from his sight, he went to police and Investigators found 80 polaroid photos of Jeffrey’s victims’ severed bodies inside.
These images helped the authorities in locating the victims whose remains were not recovered. However, Jeffrey’s 9th victim, David Thomas remained a missing person as his body was never recovered.
Nonetheless, the evidence found at Dahmer’s apartment strongly suggests that he had killed Thomas.
The same goes for the 3 other victims about whom Jeffrey acknowledged having killed but whose bodies were never discovered.
