ID PRESENTS: NINE AT 9 JEFFREY DAHMER: MIND OF A MONSTER Premieres Monday, May 25 from 9-11 p.m. ET From the transcripts of audio recordings from the extensive police interviews after Jeffrey Dahmer’s arrest, this two-hour special is chillingly narrated by the words of Dahmer himself. His twisted confession reveals new insights into what led Jeffrey Dahmer – known as the Milwaukee Cannibal – to rape, kill and dismember 17 young men between 1978 and 1991. In a heart-wrenching interview, his father, Lionel Dahmer, further details his attempts to get his son the help he so desperately needed. Home video footage from Dahmer’s childhood offers an intimate look into his relatively normal upbringing, putting Dahmer as an outlier of a typical serial killer’s psyche and shining a disturbing yet tragic revelation about his motives. Other notable interviews throughout the special include: Ronald Flowers, one of Dahmer’s victims who somehow avoided being murdered; Dr. Park Deitz, a forensic psychiatrist who spent considerable time with Dahmer; and an exclusive, never-before-seen interview with Nicole Childress, a witness who tried in vain to save one of Dahmer’s victims and lives with the guilt of that night forever. BRITTANY MURPHY: AN ID MYSTERY Premieres Tuesday, May 26 from 9-10 p.m. ET Brittany Murphy is a rising star who had it all, beauty, fame, and success … but she also had secrets. When she is found dead in her Los Angeles home at just 32 years old, Hollywood and legions of fans are left in disbelief. While her autopsy reveals that she died of natural causes, many believe foul play is involved. Details of her life and death emerge after her husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, embark on a bizarre media blitz, creating more questions than answers. Then, within months, Monjack perishes under strikingly similarly circumstances – in the same bed he and Brittany once shared, only this time, allegedly with Brittany’s mother sleeping beside him. In an exclusive final interview, the late Angelo Bertolotti, Brittany’s father, casts doubt on the conclusion that she died of natural causes and reveals bizarre allegations against other family members. Featured in the special are intimate interviews, in-depth access to forensic details and alternative explanations about the cause of death. BRITTANY MURPHY: AN ID MYSTERY revisits the case from a whole new angle to examine the truth behind Brittany’s heartbreaking demise. DISAPPEARED IN THE DARKNESS: AN ID MYSTERY Premieres Wednesday, May 27 from 9-11 p.m. ET This two-hour special follows the aftermath of the disappearance and probable murder of Heather Elvis, a young woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, whose case took the national media by storm. After beginning a relationship with an older, married man she meets through work, Heather begins receiving threatening texts. She eventually ends the affair but disappears after a mysterious rendezvous. Her ex-lover and his wife become the primary focus of the investigation, and soon a trail of dirty deeds is revealed: a kidnapping plot, a secret pregnancy, fraud, and ultimately obstruction of justice. With extensive archive and bombshell testimony from one of the defendants, this installment of the ID MYSTERY franchise explores the alternative theories and the hidden facts behind the question: what happened to Heather Elvis? WHO KILLED THE CO-ED? AN ID MURDER MYSTERY Premieres Thursday, May 28 from 9-10 p.m. ET 19-year-old University of North Carolina college student Faith Hedgepeth is found brutally murdered in her off-campus apartment after going out with her roommate the previous night. Evidence at the scene leads police to believe she knew her killer. The murderer left behind a cryptic note, the murder weapon and even DNA, but over six years later, the case is still not solved. As suspicions mount, a voicemail from the night of Faith’s death proves to be a promising lead for investigators. With groundbreaking new forensic technologies put to the test, investigators and Faith’s family are confident they will finally find out who killed Faith. LITTLE BOY LOST: AN ID MYSTERY Premieres Friday, May 29 from 9-10 p.m. ET In 2010, 7-year-old Kyron Horman is dropped off at school in Portland, Oregon, but when the bus returns later that day, Kyron is not on it. Sparking a panicked search around the town led by Kyron’s mother and father, all eyes quickly fall to his stepmother, Terri Horman, the last person to see Kyron alive. Terri’s strange behavior and weak alibi lead investigators to believe that she is a person of interest in Kyron’s disappearance. Yet nearly a decade later, Kyron has never been found and no arrests have been made in the case. With heartbreaking interviews from Kyron’s family, including his mother, Desiree Young, this special examines all the details of this twisted case, casting light on each shred of evidence that could possibly lead to solving this tragic kidnapping. 20/20 ON ID INVESTIGATES: MY FATHER BTK Premieres on ID on Saturday, May 30 from 9-11 p.m. ET Kerri Rawson had an idyllic life growing up in Wichita, Kansas, with her father, mother and brother. During her childhood, a serial killer going by the name “BTK” was terrorizing the Wichita community. The moniker came from the way the killer would murder his victims. He broke into their homes where he would bind, torture and kill his victims. Kerri remembers her father assuring her that the serial killer taunting their hometown would not hurt her. Years later, a knock at the door and a visit from the FBI would lead Kerri to learn that the man who raised her was engulfed in a horrifying double life. Her father, Dennis Rader, was positively identified as the BTK Killer. This special installment of 20/20 features Kerri as she comes to terms with the horrific truth about her father. WHO KILLED JEFFREY EPSTEIN? Premieres Sunday, May 31 from 9-12 a.m. ET On August 10, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein is found dying in his prison cell, a violent and dramatic end to the life of one of the nation’s most mysterious billionaires. The financier had close relationships with some of the world’s most elite political figures and celebrities, yet he remained a shadowy figure for most of his life. Dogged by accusations of sexual abuse of young girls, Epstein is eventually labeled a convicted sex offender but leveraged his considerable wealth and power for preferential treatment at every turn – until his earth-shattering arrest for sex trafficking in July 2019, and his death a month later. But when the official cause of death, suicide, is called into question, coupled with bizarre circumstances surrounding the night of his demise, conspiracy theories run wild. Suicide? Assassination? Will we ever know what really happened to Jeffrey Epstein? This three-part special takes a closer look at the life, crimes and questions surrounding the death of this enigmatic and controversial figure. VANISHED IN NEW CANAAN: AN ID MYSTERY Premieres Monday, June 1 from 9-10 p.m. ET Jennifer Dulos seems to have a picture-perfect life. At 50 years old, she has built a beautiful life in affluent, safe, New Canaan, Connecticut, and keeps busy raising her five children. But when she disappears in 2019, the case quickly gains national attention and speculation. At the time of her disappearance, Jennifer is embroiled in a contentious divorce and custody battle with her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos. The investigation pivots to Fotis and his new lover as the culprits, and as more details unfurl, both are arrested. But before justice can be served, the story takes another tragic turn. THE TRUTH BEHIND JOE EXOTIC: THE RICK KIRKHAM STORY Premieres Tuesday, June 2 from 9-10 p.m. ET In his self-proclaimed last interview regarding “Tiger King,” TV producer Rick Kirkham opens up in an explosive tell-all to expose the truths behind what he saw at the G.W. Zoo and his time with the eccentric figure, Joe Exotic. In this one-hour special, Kirkham shares insights into how his nightmare began, and how he faced his point of no return just three months after being hired to produce Exotic’s internet show. Kirkham knew he struck gold with the quirky cast of characters and captured all the content he could for his own reality show. But, after a fallout with Exotic, Kirkham found his entire collection of footage ravaged by an arson fire, a criminal act which has yet to be prosecuted. After yet another fire plagued his home in the U.S., Kirkham knew he had to flee for his safety and settled down in a small village in Norway to escape it all. Now, Kirkham is ready to reveal his side of the salacious saga once and for all and will unveil exclusive footage from some material that survived the fire. PREMIERES BODY CAM Season Two Resumes Premieres on Tuesday, June 2 at 10/9c Taking viewers on the ultimate ride-along, Investigation Discovery announces BODY CAM, a gripping new series that gives viewers their own eyewitness look at the life-or-death instant decisions of policework, as told by officers’ own body camera footage.

  • The Case of J Effrey Dah M Er
    5 THE CASE OF J EFFREY DAH M ER OVERVIEW This chapter specifically addresses the highly publicized case of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial lust murderer responsible for the death and mutilation of 17 young men. In an attempt to create a working profile, several factors linked to Dahmer's social and family history, sexuality, education, employment status, fantasy system, and criminality are discussed. In Chapter 6, this developmental portrait is linked to the three principal theoretical models discussed within Chapters 3 and 4. Specifically, Chapter 6 explores what insights the motivational, trauma control, and integrative paraphilic typologies offer in their accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer's criminal behavior. This exercise is particularly useful since the goal is to ascertain the extent to which each conceptual schema advances our understanding of serial sexual homicide (i.e., lust murder) and those persons who commit this act. This chapter is divided into two sections. First, several methodological issues germane to our overall assessment of Jeffrey Dahmer are delineated. Given that our approach emphasizes the case study investigatory strategy, a number of remarks relevant to this line of analysis are warranted. Some observations regard- ing the elements of the case study method are specified, several justifications for the selection of a qualitative approach are outlined, and a description of the data is supplied. Second, both historical and biographical information concerning Dahmer's life is provided. These data are sequenced chronologically, commencing with his early childhood development and moving all the way to his violent fantasies, criminal conduct, and paraphilic behaviors. Profiling his case in this way allows 67 68 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LUST MURDER the reader to assess the merits of the general organization and facilitates a more comprehensive and seamless evaluation within the application work undertaken in Chapter 6.

  • Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Get It— How About Milwaukee?
    Rahm Emanuel and Chicago get it— How about Milwaukee? Chicago to hire hundreds of new officers to address deadly violence Statement of Alderman Bob Donovan September 2, 2016 I’m as disheartened as anyone to hear the news from the police chief yesterday that 24 murders were reported last month in Milwaukee, which makes August the city’s most deadly month on record in 25 years. The Journal Sentinel noted that the last time this many homicides were tallied was the month when police brought Jeffrey Dahmer in off the streets. But what’s truly horrifying is that, of the 30 homicides from July of 1991, 12 of them were attributed to Dahmer—and they were only learned of during that month, not committed! So really, were it not for this clerical anomaly in counting murders, August of 2016 could have gone into the books as the deadliest month of crime in Milwaukee’s history. But just as disheartening to me is the news out of Chicago, which also suffered a historically violent month of August. In response, the word is that that Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to hire “hundreds” more police officers in his 2017 budget to restore order. Mind you, the problem with violence is more out of control here in Milwaukee, where the homicide rate is 4.0 victims per 100,000 residents, than it is in Chicago, where that rate is only 3.3 victims per 100,000 residents. If that isn’t a call for us to boost our own police staffing here in Milwaukee, I don’t know what is.

Master of Science in Criminal Justice, August 2002, 102pp., 28 tables, 1 figure, references, 92 titles. Public perceptions about serial homicide are more mythical than fact. Myths about serial homicide are perpetuated through several sources, especially the entertainment media. The number of films depicting serial killers and serial killing themes has increased in recent years. However, the reality of these films is debatable. This research examines the reality of the films involving a serial killing theme. Hickey provides statistical information on serial killers and serial killings. A content analysis of the fifty top grossing serial killer movies made between 1980 and 2001 was conducted using variables from Hickey research. Research shows similarities and differences between variables, however, results concludes the entertainment media does not accurately portray serial homicide.

The two cousins were Sandra Smith and Nicole Childress. They lived next to Oxford Apartments, a set of cinderblock low-rise apartments in the North Side of Milwaukee where Jeffrey Dahmer lived. The boy was fourteen years old. His name was Konerak Sinthasomphone. Konerak and his family fled Laos 12 years earlier. The communists had threatened to take away his father's rice farm near Vientiane, the capital of Laos. So, one night, Konerak'sfather sent his family across the Mekong River in a canoe into Thailand where they lived in a refugee camp for a year before a Catholic relocation program helped them to move to Milwaukee. To Sandra Smith and Nicole Childress, however, Konerak appeared a badly beaten and bruised boy. He was bleeding.
