TRUE CRIME: Jeffrey Dahmer Murders

We’re backkkk!!!!!! After a long hiatus caused by multiple huge life changes on both our ends, we bring you our first story recorded in two separate continents. It’s a heavy one - we’re covering the Jeffrey Dahmer murders. But as is always true with us, it’s less about the violence itself and more about the historical and social context these murders are situated in. You’ll learn about 1960/70s Queer Black history in MKE, including the ‘Stonewall’ of Milwaukee that happened 8 years before Stonewall. We unearth the brutality of police negligence and also do a deep dive framing Dahmer’s violence as a microcosm of European conquest and colonialism. (Stay tuned for Part 2, which will go deep on victim stories, the fall out of the murders on the community, and some amazing theses about the socio-political implications of this case we found while digging deep into this story).
