Forensic scientists and detectives uncovered ghastly evidence, like a drum that housed decomposing remains. Police arrested Dahmer on the spot and began searching his apartment. In his fridge, they found a severed human head. Inside Dahmer's apartment, the police discovered a box of Polaroids containing depictions of the infamous crimes Dahmer committed. To the shock of the Milwaukee community and local law enforcement, they had unexpectedly stumbled upon a killer who had kept himself under the radar with a normal job.
That image was shattered on July 22, 1991, when the victim he lured to his home escaped and sought help from police. Before the police found him, Jeffrey Dahmer appeared to be an ordinary man in his 30s who kept to himself.
