Synopsis

In the early morning hours of July 22, 1991, Milwaukee Police Homicide Detective Patrick Kennedy would be called out to a multiple murder crime scene that would ultimately change his life forever. Jeffrey Dahmer was a son and brother turned predatory sexual serial killer, undetected until he was captured and who then went on to confess to committing 17 murders. Kennedy s reassuring and calm manner allowed him to ultimately build a rapport with his suspect in order to elicit a confession that provided information albeit horrific information to numerous families and friends of missing and disappeared young men in Milwaukee. He believed the case had complexities due to the sheer horror of it yet the killer remained one of the more human murderers that he had ever interrogated. Dahmer Detective: The Interrogation and Investigation that Shocked the World goes inside the police interrogation room where Kennedy spent long days during six chaotic weeks with Jeffrey Dahmer as he confessed to his life as a serial murderer, while the world s media clamored outside for information and confirmation about the story of one of the most notorious killers of the 20th century. Published in 2016, Dahmer Detective marks the 25th anniversary of Jeffrey Dahmer s capture and arrest.
