The remains of 11 victims were found in Dahmer's apartment. Evidence recovered there—from physical remains to tools used to torture and dismember victims—was sent to FBI Headquarters for forensic analysis.

In real life, the police found countless polaroid photos of the victims stashed away in his dresser. Elsewhere, they found body parts, vital organs and a human head in Dahmer's fridge, and more human remains scattered around his kitchen and in his freezer.

They also encountered numerous human body parts including seven skulls, three of which were painted. There were four intact human heads, one dissected postcranial skeleton in a portable freezer, and three partially skeletonized bodies in a 55-gallon drum.

Is Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment still standing? Oxford Apartments no longer exists. Most tenants moved out of the building after Dahmer's arrest, and the complex was understandably unable to rent out the empty units to other people.

The apartments remained available to rent, but there were not many takers due to the absolutely horrific murders that took place there. Today, the building is no longer standing. Dahmer's apartment building was torn down and completely demolished, at the request of the victim's families.

A Barrel Of Acid

Dahmer used a barrel of hydrochloric acid to dissolve his victims and preserve their skeletons. He also whitened the remains with bleach. During the investigation of his apartment, police found three torsos dissolving in the 57-gallon barrel.

Jeffrey Dahmer lived at No. 213 Oxford Apartments in Milwaukee between May 1990 and his arrest on July 22, 1991. Today, the site where The Oxford Apartments once stood is completely empty. The apartments were demolished in November 1992, just 15 months after human remains were discovered.

In total, Dahmer killed 17 victims—usually young, gay, Black men—between 1978 and 1991, but one person got away: Tracy Edwards. He was the only man to escape from Dahmer's clutches, and his story helped lead to Dahmer's eventual arrest and conviction.

In 1991, police found 11 bodies in Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment, marking the end of his highly publicized killing spree. The location is once again garnering attention, thanks to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a limited series on Netflix dramatizing the lives of his victims.

Jeffrey Dahmer

Convicted of murdering 17 young men, Dahmer was killed by a fellow inmate in prison on November 28, 1994. His final words, spoken to his killer, were eerie: "I don't care if I live or die. Go ahead and kill me." Dahmer's resignation hinted at the tormented soul behind the monstrous acts.

As viewers watched the scene, they quickly took to social media to speculate the contents of what they believed to be a grisly snack and they all assumed the same thing - that the sandwich was made using human remains. This hints at the real Dahmer's confession of eating some of the organs of his dead victims.

Dahmer was arrested July 22, 1991. Within about 15 months after his arrest, the Oxford Apartments were demolished. A "collaborative neighborhood redevelopment initiative" called the Campus Circle Project purchased the lot in 1995, but there's not much to report since nothing really came out of it.
