WI v. Jeffrey Dahmer (1992): Dahmer's Neighbor Testifies
WI V. DAHMER (1992) - Sopa Princewill, the complex manager of Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment, takes the stand.
A new Netflix documentary "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" explores the gruesome story of Jeffrey Dahmer. Court TV cameras were inside the Wisconsin courtroom in 1992, where a jury was tasked to decide whether Dahmer, who pleaded guilty to the murders and dismemberment of 15 boys and men, should be sentenced to life in prison or admitted to a mental institution.

The scary thing about Jeffrey Dahmer is there are still people living in America that are just like him, and have not been caught.....and some of them never will.
Yes u r right I think the same
And morons that idolize him, especially white women...
Its very hard to be a serial killer in this era, because of social media, no way someone can get away with that much now days, unless you're a politician.
@@jeanclaude6856 oh they are out there, they are the ones that have grown up in the social media era, and have figured out ways around it.
@@johndoe-xy4xq EXACTLY!!! People go missing every week without a trace. I don't understand why people assume there aren't much serial killers anymore or that there isn't much of them committing murders. Most serial killers aren't stupid. Surely they'll find a way to ADAPT based on modern surroundings.
Imagine you come halfway across the world, work your a$$ off to get a college degree in an unfamiliar country, work a very tough job (dealing with tenants is rough) and then you have to deal with this insanity. I hope he recovered after all this.
I hope you recover too

Dude said that Jeffrey had the cleanest/neatest apartment he ever visited in that building compared to other residents he’d visited there…Imagine being a tenant in the same building and finding out your serial killer neighbor with various rotting corpses lying around kept a more tidy apartment than you. 😬
That was my thought too 😂
He probably cleaned up before the manager would visit. In the doc series it was a mess most of the time. I bet the victims would describe his place differently.
I can’t believe that no one apartment was cleaned. He had the only clean apartment but dude also wanted him to be a business partner. 😂
@@asterism.x If you look at the crime scene photos his sitting room looked very neat and tidy .. quite normal.
And then as time went on, when he was saying that it “just got easier to kill” is when he got a little more messy from what I could tell. He said, I think, that he had three bodies in the tub that he moved around so he could shower. It’s still hard to imagine how clean an apartment could be after that.
Who would ACTUALLY THINK that someone was eating people and storing dead people in their apartment? I'm sorry but I feel for these people because who would think that? No one in their right mind would think that straight out.
Facts lol imagine waking up one day thinking oh that smells like human liver what’s my neighbour cooking like wtf hahahah
No but you would think they would hear something.... But they never did because most people were either on drugs in gangs, drug dealers or just didn't snitch
@@gabrielguzman6018 yah cuz back in the day especially the ghettos people keep to them selves and don’t get involved especially wit police they was all still racist them times
if the smell is that bad I'd be thinking worse things.
The whole story in itself it's unbelievable. I wouldn't be able to even comprehend this happening.
This man gives, " say it correctly or not at all " vibes and I'm here for it.

Exactly. i think
What kind of vibes?
“Odours don’t strangle people “ I love this man 👏🏾👏🏾
LOL that woman is retarded with her phrasing, that poor bastard was likely thinking the same
I was waiting for that part of odour don’t strangle people
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it needed to be said
As a landlord of two tenants who committed suicide in my units I feel for this man greatly.
Me too. I hope you was able to heal? That's a tough pill to swallow.
😳 Jeez....
Ok. Flick boogers 🙄 lol
Another tenant killed too? Omg
Probably because you’re a shitty landlord
“Odors don’t strangle people” he was annoyed with her and that comment was A1. He held himself so composed and articulate and maintained his statement and didn’t let her confuse him. He’s such an amazing guy 💜
Strangle people do have odors
Its actually a dude doing the questions. I thought it was a female too 🤣
I was getting annoyed by her too! Her questions and statements were very confusing!
@@taramay8174 above commentor is talking about the defence attorney during the cross-examination
youre all evil
He seems like a decent landlord. He just wanted everyone to be comfortable and addressed tenant concerns by offering cleaning services. He even went to inspect the apartment (which most managers don’t even do). By then Dahmer, probably made it look normal. Not to mention, he was responsible for over 40 other tenants so his focus wasn’t strictly on Dahmer.
And also that he risked his life every time he went inside Jeff’s apartment (Monster’s Lair)
Well the owners should have gotten him help, because we kept coming over to the building
@@ragashankar He is lucky that he wasn't killed
@@Khadijah459 You were there?
He came off like a lazy slumlord. To your point (and his own) if majority of your tenants are complaining about this ONE tenant funking up the entire building why wouldn’t that tenant become your primary focus?? His presence was a nuisance to the building and instead of focusing on getting him out he is waxing poetical about wanting to “do business” with him. The only reason he eventually decided to evict him was because a potential tenant refused to move in because of the smell. He dgaf about the smell impacting other existing tenants despite repeated complaints but because he was starting to lose out on money he changed his tune. This man didn’t care about those other tenants. All he cared about was his bottom line: money. When I lived in apts with actual GOOD property managers they stayed on top of tenant complaints and always did their best to mitigate issues. Any strange smells reported were always thoroughly investigated if necessary, the super or maintenance was sent to check things out. This was blatant negligence.
The thing that stood out the most, is the fact that his story never changed, know matter how many times he was questioned. Even under this type of pressure, he remained well reserved!
When you’re telling the truth there’s no pressure! It’s always the truth
Lol ppp
@@tiffanyb4375 exactly . The sweetness of telling the truth 😮💨

👍👍
Imagine being an immigrant trying to make a decent life for yourself and then having to testify in a trial against a serial killer/cannibal. Probably never imagined he would have to be witness to something like this in a first world country.
Guess he should have known in first world countries humans eat humans. The paradox of civilization!
This guy probably pack his bags and ran back to Nigeria! Told all his friends "man they eat niggas in America"😅😅😅😅
Very sad. And honestly, if I was the resident of this complex I’d most likely complain then ask to be moved to another apartment. I wouldn’t even confront dahmer. It’s crazy because his father suspected something and just brushed it off.
your comment is kinda racist
The witness is smarter than all people in the courtroom combined.
And most of the people in this comment section!
Everyone faulting the manger! What about the 2 cops that walk Jeffrey and the lil boy back in the apartment?

“Odors don’t strangle people.” Brilliant!
i think they can sometimes though. i was in a bus and noticed a toxic fume. i ran to the driver's door and pleaded to let us out. the driver's initial reaction was i lost my mind, but then everyone had to get out of the bus and wait for a different bus to take over. i think everyone instinctively knew the odor was lethal. it had been socal in the late 90's or there'd probably be surveillance footage of this.
Love the Managers response “ Odors Don’t Strangle People “ 😂
This guy walked into the apartment of the most prolific serial killer in U.S history on three different occasions and lived. I think nobody here appreciates how unbelievably lucky he was.
the landlord suddenly missing would have obviously been noticed....serial killers are not stupid,,,,,,, neighbor says to police....thet last time i saw the landlord was when i complained to him about the smell in apartment 213....... the police goes in apt 213 and smells the same bad odour. question is....what does the officer do at this point....call for back up....arrest him on the spot...or say nothing to see here have a nice day and go on to his next call...

@@roseanne1466 so you're telling me that a police officer shouldn't check an apartment as well as a manager 🤨🤨
Obviously he didn’t because Jeff lived there for a year plus and was able to get away with his evil…. Foul smells and all.
No he didn't if that was the case he would've been caught sooner instead he let his tenants continuously complain about their neighbor's horrendous smelling apartment instead of finally kicking him out
That’s crazy how he could look right into the face of evil and not recognize it. The devils greatest strength is being able to hide in plain sight.
That's the crazy part... I can look at him and tell he's a cannibal.
People in 2022 believe in devils, such an elementary notion. Watch out for Beezelbub, Satan, Lucifer, The Big Bad Wolf, King Kong, and The devil with the blue dress. I swear to Zeus.
What is shocking is that people actually thought the smell was rotten food. The smell of a decomposing human is nothing like food or an animal! It is so putrid you can taste it.. 🤮 You instinctively know that it is unnatural. This is horrifying and has stayed with me for years. So scary that such monsters are among us and we don't even recognize them. Everyone please be safe and hold your loved ones close.🙏🙏🙏
@@kellyjoyner490 l believe that the odor permeated the place more strongly whenever the killer opened the barrel of chemical and decaying body waste. The mixture must have been unbearable and probably hard to define as just dead flesh since the chemical odor was also there
There is no devil
They asked this poor guy the same questions like 30 times lmao
Part of that is to try to catch him in a lie. See if his answers vary.
So many chance to catch him. Nasty smells coming from his apartment, tub of chemicals in his bedroom, different men coming but not going, noises of cutting tools, constant complaints from his neighbour to the police, Jeffrey being caught drugging people at the sauna place, the young lad roaming the streets who the police returned back to Jeffrey. Staggering how it took so long to catch him.
He was white and this was a long time ago blacks where not protected by the police it was a black club black landlord they probably were not calling cops a lot especially on a white person .. ie when the women called for the young boy look what happened

I wonder how they didn’t recognize the smell either. We had someone die in our apartment building. Others haven’t seen him for a few days and we did a welfare check for him. He had passed away a few days before. The cops could smell it as soon as they got into the elevator. So idk how these cops couldn’t tell.

If he had gone home with him, he would have LITERALLY gotten his little turkey stuffed. Uh oh, here comes Jeffrey with the turkey baster. Everybody RUN!!!!
I'm a property manager for 5 years and I can tell you, tenants and their apartments can stink for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they're just smelly guys. To suggest someone would suspect dead bodies is outrageous! Feel sorry for this man. If anyone is to blame it's the cops for letting Dahmer go.
You know damn well I’m had bodies in there slut
A human being is capable of looking into another persons eyes and seeing another human being , you can’t do that can you. aD
I lived in a second story apartment. The old man who lived in the apartment beneath mine was estranged from his family and very reclusive. He died in his apartment (with the AC turned off) in July. The body was undiscovered for days. Let me tell you, the smell of a decomposing body is not like any other odor. There’s no way it can be confused with any other smell.
Well said

Omg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved his style. Simple, lucid, well thought-out replies. The defence was poor. They were trying to prove Dahmer was insane to get lesser sentencing and there was no questions about that or reducing the credibility of the witness…
That’s bcuz they really had no defense lol. The dude confessed to killing ppl. This was just a really sad situation.
How many people do you have to eat in Milwaukee, to be declared insane? Just sayin.
What I learn from cases like this is that most of the time the defense even don’t want to be there, but they are appointed and also once the defendant confesses to the crimes, they only try to do their job that is not to get the death penalty. Even Arias case was like that. Her defense lead Kirk Nurmi later said that in an interview.
Even dhamer said himself he knew what he was doing
Right, this lady is awful. The reason defense lawyers are offensive. There was no way to save him. duh!
Part of the problem with accusing the people who dismissed or overlooked Dahmer's suspicious behavior is because good people don't think about others around them being "bad," and certainly not killing and storing the bodies their victims where they live. I mean, it's so easy to point fingers now that we know, but face it, it's beyond comprehension of the ordinarily straight-up, law-abiding person what Dahmer did. We are still trying to figure all out, years later, still shaking our heads, thinking WTF?? I love the question: "So you thought it would be appropriate to form a partnership with Jeffrey Dahmer?" I don't think anyone wants to have that come at them. 🤣
There is or should be a thing called instincts or unction as we call it in my culture. This is something inside you that tells you something really bad is happening and something isn't right. These, we have the duty to open our eyes to.
@@peterinasolvesit3702 oh please. How many millions of murder shows have we seen were instinct is overridden in favour of money, sex etc. How many times do people cross the street randomly and not at a crossing, while instinct is telling them not too? FOH
I think another huge thing to consider is the times, serial killers weren’t such a wide known issue, mental health issues weren’t as “normal”, homosexuality wasn’t as accepted and viewed negatively, crime wasn’t as bad back then as it is today, on and on. A lot of people these days would be very concerned of any of the signs Dahmer exhibited, but it’s only BECAUSE of stories like Dahmer’s that we recognize these signs and question further even small things. Our knowledge of mental health issues, red flags, unhealthy obsessions etc, all have lead us to second guess and recognize concerning things and behaviors. All of this new knowledge is extremely helpful, the same reasons why we no longer allow our children to go out and about the same as parents used to, yes while crime is worse, it’s also more widely known about, and just like “normal people” are becoming smarter about their safety, criminals are becoming smarter about how to commit crimes. It’s all about the times

It’s only because the woman doesn’t know how to ask questions lmao I could barely listen once she got there

Well the apt. manager had a lot more contact with the defendant than did those officers!
This landlord definitely has a American dream to tell about.
Lol 😅
😅😅😅
Unfortunately the building was located in an undeserved community area. The city isn’t as aggressive checking apartment complexes in these areas. They can go for months or years violating city regulations until an accident or a Dahmer happens… Sad but true, I worked with contractors for years and they do some crazy unsafe things to prevent themselves from spending money. Covering mold, covering asbestos, ignoring complains and just doing quick fixes that eventually cause bigger problems and cause Healt issues to the renters.
Yeah it was a sketchy area
how could his lawyers even sit next to him?
This man was lucky enough, he was not included in the list..
That's right
If he would have killed the landlord it would have been over right away ...he preyed on gay black men mostly because the community's of the USA do not care about gay black men ..not even in the black community's much less the white ones...
It’s crazy how the human mind will make up every excuse for someone to make you believe that they’re not a monster. None of these people had any idea of what he was capable of because he always seemed normal and most people just aren’t hard-wired to think about things like that. It’s unfortunate we have to change our thinking to combat with people like this, but no one is to blame but him. And maybe the police

@@newwave2705No he only got evicted because he didn't pay rent
He is so prepared but he was just not aware how bad can some people be
What's crazy is that I thought polices are trained to spot out the smell of rotten human flesh. I heard that rotten human flesh gave a particular smell. And there was a scene in the show where the police enter his apartment and the smell was so overwhelming they just walk out after leaving that boy back to jeffery. Ugh so frustrating!!
The smell was evident, but the police bought Jeffery's story of rotten meat in the freezer although bodies were hidden in plain sight. I believe he tried to cook the flesh off the bones by using Muriatic acid, but the acid only cooks, and will not preserve the flesh. Formaldehyde does a better job at preserving. I'm not sure what the combination of Muriatic acid smells like on human flesh. The PD would need to get a search warrant to dig deeper in his apartment. At 1st glimpse, you couldn't think he was a serial killer. He stood out like a sore thumb by living in a predominantly Black neighborhood & appeared to be decent law abiding citizen but the darkness & smell came to light.
I don't know think their ordinary officer training training involves morgue visits (my friend's dad was a Detective & was so traumatised by ond murder scene that he had mental health issues for years after ). I suppose CSI's would though: & prob a trip to the famous forensics facility called the Body Farm, where donated corpses are left outside to decay, for research purposes
Exactly! Every show I’ve watched, they say that the smell is so distinct and that you recognize it right away.
The manager said in his testimony that the apartment smelled as strong chemicals. Was the odor decomposing meat or chemicals? That is what is a bit confusing for me.
@@lisa115 It was probably the smell of a chemical cooking the flesh as it was decomposing. I'd say it was both.

Damn , dude did SOO much damage far beyond the victims and their families , dude took lives , jobs , and homes .
He considered Dahmer as a potential business partner? Dahmer getting more job offers than me.
Lol the crazies always know how to climb the opportunity ladder
🤣😂
I was thinking the same 💀
This was obviously before he knew Dahmer was a serial killer
And had more male 304s than FIGUEROA
I feel so bad for Jeffrey Dahmer's lawyer . This was her first case I believe and she was just thrown into and was still new and people were attacking her outside of work . She didn't agree with what he did and she was horrified by it but she was kind to him and did care about people. She even mentioned in her interview how she made Jeff comfortable because he would open up more. Good for her though staying strong and doing what she had to do even though it was messing her up.
I don't feel sorry for this woman. She has perceived money from Netflix documentaries...not the victims from Netflix, ever the familles's victims
Please
She was "Clarisse".💀 Jody Foster.🎭
I couldn’t be 20 years old defending a damn monster. I’m not gone do it.
@@CarsonDouglas-pw7nz it's Wendy Patrickus she was 25 at that time in 1991
I'm glad I saw this, b/c the show sometimes simplifies things and combines characters. It helps explain the details for how things happened.
I mean I know as a defense attorney she has to create reasonable doubt but I really don’t see where she was going with the odor thing. They found what they found in his house, there was nothing that could overcome that fact.
Yea In a case like this I don’t even understand why it had to be a trial. Like what the point? Dahmer confessed. So what was the point of the trial.? Someone please explain if you can n if you know why. Thank you In advance n peace love n blessings to all!!
@@justdoinit2378 they were trying to see if he was guilt by reason of insanity.. which he was found to be sane and got sentenced to 16 life sentences.
@@jamalvseveryone2788 o ok thank you!!
She’s trying to get Jeff off by painting him as insane
@@justdoinit2378 my thoughts EXACTLY. I looked it up and I think it's because he pleaded guilty by insanity. IDT it's what JD wanted to do but was talked into doing so by his dad so that if found insane he could be sent to a mental facility to get help. All his dad ever wanted was for JD to get help but JD said he would've kept dong it...he knew his compulsions would never go away. Anyway...the trial didn't work b/c the jury found him sane so off to prison he went and much to his own demise! EDIT: Sorry...I was so intent on your comment that I failed to see that others had replied to you. But I'm glad you asked b/c it's something I never understood myself. Now we know why LOL
That woman in the white jacket is so confusing! Her questions are so loopy! She’s so agitating. I think this manager knew Jeff was lying about the source of the smells. But he didn’t want to be disruptive to the tenants as it would be too much paperwork to evict Jeff. I’m surprised Jeffrey didn’t harm him.
Jeffrey had no interest in killing anyone he wasn’t sexually attracted to.
Jeff always chose strangers, probably a bad idea to kill off his own landlord.
She knew there was no winning this case I’d be a wreck too how do you represent someone like this
He wasn’t attracted to him and it’s his land lord. He was into young and very attractive men.
@@teatamarie As an appointed State DA (I think she was?) but if I had a choice...NO...I would not want to represent a JD of any kind. Most of these state appointed DA's that represent people like this fumble around, trying to find the slightest bit of hope in defending someone of this nature. IDT JD wanted to go thru with this but was talked into pleading guilty by insanity by his dad b/c his dad was hoping he'd at least be sent to a mental facility where he could undergo psychological help but JD said himself he was sane and knew he would keep doing it, if he just so happened to be set free, as his compulsions would never go away. There was no chance in HELL he was going to go free but the jury found him sane so off to prison he went and to his own demise!
This is arguably the best documented case
I think Dahmer would never have been caught if he lived in a house. The police were so negligent especially in the case of the 14 year old boy!!!! It's so heartbreaking that he almost got away. The neighbor lady tried so hard. All these victims deserved more! I can't believe those 2 cops didn't get fired. I would have made it my life's mission to make sure they lost their jobs. I don't know how they could have lived with themselves! Knowing they gave an innocent child back to a serial killer.
It's called 'white privilege', something you benefit from each day.
@@RexBanner_ bruh shut up she is on our side stop projecting.😂
Why is having a big blue container in your room seem not out of the norm!?!?!!!! 🥴
It was good he didn’t bludgeon this man go checking his apartment
Maybe he wasn't trimmed at that time.
A few years ago, I could smell something real bad coming from my neighbour's home. I couldn't stand the smell... I was frightened by the smell...because I thought HE had passed away in his home. I called the police. When they arrived, their facial expressions frightened me even more, as they appeared to recognise the smell. Fear consumed me! The three of us thought a dead body was in that accommodation... The police entered the home. Nobody was home - my neighbours home was just a disgusting mess. My point is this: I don't think the smell of DEATH can be ignored.
my father passed in our house it was a very strong smell in just a few hours the smell is also very distinct
😂 how can a messy house smell like death
@@kahyui2486 Silly question.
31:01 “Odors don’t strangle people “🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌I’m dead
I can't imagine smelling something rotting/smelling and police not doing anything, but clearly they didn't give two f#@^*
There can be other explanations for bad smells. Also, I believe it was more of a chemical smell, from the acid dissolving the bodies and his apartment was otherwise well kept. I have seen a psychologist say that a normal, empathetic person will always look for other explanations, because our brains literally can’t process that level of evil. It’s unimaginable, you convince yourself there some other reason for the signs you’re seeing. It’s easy to lay blame in hindsight, but the blame sits 100% squarely on Dahmer’s shoulders.
It was the projects
And he was white. If this were coming out of a black person's apartment he wouldn't of had such patience nor asked him to do business.
Dumb comment
Because of the neighborhood
I dIdNT mEaN tO cOnFuSe YoU. Yes tf she did trying to cling on to anything she could to come out with some type of win . He really stood his ground !
Facts
I understand she’s just doing her job but damn it’s so obvious (now) what the odors were. She’s looking like she’s definitely trying to confuse him.
This dude wanted to be in business with a serial killer?????? Man, everyone was blind as hell with this dude
Maybe it was the devil temting him 😁 you know nigerian love money
“That must go” -Princewill.1992
😂😂
When he said “odors don’t strangle people” I fell out 😂
This tenant was very good at keeping calm and answering questions clearly
Mr. Princewell isn't responsible for the any of JD's crimes. He visited apt 213 frequently to address the complaints about the foul smell but the apartment was clean so he didn't suspect foul play. To force the other tenants to endure the horrid smells for a year without taking action to see if the odor was in the walls is unacceptable. Jeffrey Dahmer probably laughed every time SP fell for his excuses. it seemed he got a thrill from toying with people's intelligence. Most of the men he solicited seemed desperate. he offered Tracy Edwards $100 to pose naked while the teenager was only offered $50. As JD sits in court he doesn't look remorseful. he got bored with the killings and then begin telling police, investigators and interviewers about how easy it was for him. Clearly a man who should've be aborted 😡
maybe it was fake , these stories read like poor fiction
“Odors don’t strangle people” mic drop
I felt that 😅
The landlord wanted a white face as the face of his business to further his business. Jeff who portrayed to be polite and who is very articulate was the only single white male living in the area and seemed to be the perfect candidate. Jeff as the pathological, and convincing liar he is deceived and manipulated the landlord as he did with the cops and his victims. Jeff was a master manipulator. Considering that he made so many mistakes that could and should have gotten him exposed and arrested but because he was a master manipulator he smoothly talked his way out.
Glad somebody said it...but remember it's easy to manipulate a person who wants to be manipulated.
thats what alot of advertisers and marketers do in the USA and the whole world they put white faces on their products
Articulat😂😂😂😂😂 the guy got the benefit of doubt because he is a white male
I said the same thing
I said the same thing , the landlord dismissed ALL of the warning signs, because he wanted something from JD.
Always wanted to see this part of the trial for years always seen the Tracy part but seen a small clip once of this but not the whole thing..awsome!
Thank you for uploading!!
“Odors do not strangle people “. I’m making that into a bumper sticker
🤣💯👍🏻
Why are you doing this as if it's funny no need for bumper stickers would you do that if your brother were killed 😡
You are evil
Lol he actually thought about goin into business with dahmer? SMH this REALLY goes to show how Jeff had them ALL fooled. His depiction in the series was obviously exaggerated. He was by all accounts a likable and unassuming guy not some strange robotic figure making everybody feel uncomfortable
There was another guy who commented that he worked in the same chocolate factory Dahmer was and Dahmer was known to be a strange guy at work and that most of the people who worked in the factory were older black men. And most of those black men considered him weird. Maybe he could turn it off and on but then again most people don't spend much time conversing with their landlord/apt manager for an extended period of time. Also people are generally more polite and respectful to people who can kick them out of their homes than to regular people or co-workers that they don't benefit anything from.
@@sarkie3927 right, I'm sure different people saw different sides of him. Also, a lot of people can feel energy....it doesn't matter how "likeable" they seem.
@@sarkie3927 but for him to go unnoticed all that time he clearly was a man who didn’t really give off any signals that much that he was Someone to be afraid of. Being Weird yes! I’m sure he was called weird and strange but being weird and strange doesn’t mean people walked around being afraid of him. That was my point
It's annoying, because our of any serial killer, Dahmer would have been the one to play completely straight - but they had to exaggerate it.
Exactly! Guy was polite, normal, well spoken like in his interviews and the series made him into some autistic weirdo that he never was. lol
“ A strong odor from chemical hit me and I said that must go!” Was actually pretty funny reaction😂.
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
If the smell was that bad how did he keep getting visitors?!! They said it smelled from the front of the house. I couldn’t imagine going to someone apartment and the front smelled that bad and getting closer to a apartment that the smell was coming from.
Some people are jus nasty especially in lower housing community’s people tend to kneel to them selves rather than get invovled personally especially when the guy was a white man
Did you actually research this case? He targeted young, economically disenfranchised people with promises of money and whatever else. He preyed on sex workers, poor people of color, a deaf person, etc. It's not that hard to understand why this happened.
A smell like that I wouldn’t of drank nothing no cap
If someone had an odor in their apartment that long and didn't take care of it then he I would have evicted him.....period! At that time he would be basically jeopardizing the health of others and refusing to take care of the problem after multiple complaints.
I think it was more about keeping tenants for the money ...with property manager taking up the concerns of neighbours hes following tenant and property procedures
Then you would be a competent landlord.
@@mazzamxx Yes I know but even as a tenant property management has a certain amount of time to fix any issues and after so many attempts the person would probably get another notice before someone would get the city inspector involved which I am kind of surprised that nobody did. However, I do understand that the tenants probably did not want to cause any problems with fears that they would not have anywhere to live.
He took care of the smell till the following year, dahmer was deceptive
Exactly. The police should have been called and without Jeffrey Dahmer's consent..search 🔍🔎 that unit. Trust me.. a Crime scene expert would have found that .. apartment was being used a a chamber of horror. SMH 😨.
Business partner. Man you are lucky not to go into business with him.
He would have became "the business". Simple.

Poor guy Emigrated to America Only to have to be Jeff Ds Landlord My god Can you imagine? The Horror
Well his Nigerian, you hear horrific crimes there too! but I get your point.
@@KainSwiss i guess i mean he was leaving all that Coming to Wisconsin lol
@@lovepet4565 Yeah so true
What horrific crime? Because you seemed to make statements without real evidence. Jeffery Dahmer is and was an American type of crime. We have never had a Jeffery Dahmer in Nigeria. Also, the more and more Nigeria become urbanized we having crime that is not normal. During the 70s Nigeria was not urbanized so no this whole sh!t was very foreign to this man.
I know
"I believe it looked like steak." omfg.
Im laughing so hard at the cross examination. I can hear her thoughts like "tf am I gonna ask this guy?" Hahaha
It was her first job. She said this on the Netflix documentary Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes.
Jeffrey Dahmer must have had good pheromones. Because people were able to trust him, just by being in his presence; despite the horrible things he was doing. You would expect him to give off an eerie vibes.
The way Dahmer has been so calm through this entire court stuff is crazy. Just make’s you look at everybody around you sideways. Have you thinking a few time’s about going to anyone house!
She was asking him the same questions. Trying to trip him
Wow! That landlord was brave. I would be so shocked to think I was dealing with satan on a regular without me knowing. I really hope he got help...
