By Charu On Feb 2, 2023

“Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” a new series on Netflix, has reminded us of the horrible things Jeffrey Dahmer did. He was America’s most famous serial killer, sex offender, and cannibal.

As we talk more about this scary case, it’s hard not to wonder what role his family played in making this “Milwaukee Monster.” People want to know what happened to Jeffrey Dahmer’s father, Lionel Dahmer. His younger brother, David, chose to change his name. Here is all the information you need about him.

Who is Lionel Jeffrey?

Lionel was born on July 29, 1936, in the U.S. city of West Allis. He grew up there. He is Catherine Jemima Hughes’s son. Lionel was raised as a Christian and often went to church with his parents when he was a child. Lionel was a very smart child. He graduated from a local school and then went to the University of Wisconsin to study in 1959. Lionel went to Marquette University and got a Master of Science degree in 1962 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1966.

How Did Jeffrey Dahmer’s Parents Treat Him as a Child?

The Netflix show says that Jeffrey Dahmer’s relationship with both of his parents was rocky. People say that Dahmer didn’t get enough attention when he was a child. His father, Lionel, was gone for long periods of time because he was in school. His mother, Joyce, was depressed after giving birth, which led her to abuse pills.

Lionel Dahmer said in an interview in 2020 that his wife’s pregnancy caused a number of problems that made it harder for him to focus on Jeffrey.

Even though Jeffrey’s childhood wasn’t easy, he was close to his father, Lionel. In his book, A Father’s Story, Lionel Dahmer writes that he was the first person to teach his son how to pick up dead animals and cut them open to see what was inside. This odd hobby was one of the few things Jeffrey liked to do when he was a teenager, and it would stay with him for the rest of his life.

What Does Lionel Dahmer Say About the Murders His Son Committed?

Since he found out that Jeffrey was a serial killer, Lionel has been very open about how he feels about his son and what went wrong with him as a child.

Lionel wrote a whole book called A Father’s Story in 1994, the same year that Jeffrey Dahmer died. The book is mostly about Jeffrey’s childhood and how his father felt about him when he found out he was a serial killer. In the book, Lionel asks questions about the medicine Jeffrey’s mom was taking when he was born.

Throughout the book, Lionel also blames himself for not taking care of Jeffrey as well as he should have. Lionel says that when he went to see his son in prison during his last years, they were closer than they had ever been before his sentence.

Is Lionel Dahmer Still Alive?

Lionel Dahmer has talked about his Son’s crimes in many interviews since he was arrested. In 2020, Lionel was interviewed for the documentary Jeffrey Dahmer: Mind of a Monster, which was shown on Investigation Discovery. Lionel, on the other hand, has become less well-known in recent years.

We think Lionel will still be around in 2022 and that he and Shari will be fine (played by Molly Ringwald in the series). He would be about 86 years old today.
