{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Jeffery Dahmer: Breaking Down the Confession","description":"In 1992, I wrote to the Milwaukee Police Department and asked for the Jeffrey Dahmer case files. Weeks later, they mailed me his full confession.\n\nIn this episode of UNMARKED, I go inside Jeffrey Dahmer’s confession—page by page—to understand how one of the most notorious serial killers in history developed, escalated, and ultimately got caught.\n\nUsing Dahmer’s own words, police reports, and expert insight from forensic psychologist Dr. Eric Hickey, this episode examines:\n\nHow Dahmer’s childhood isolation and psychological profile shaped his behavior\nThe role of fantasy, control, and fear of abandonment in his crimes\nWhy victims were targeted—and why many disappearances went uninvestigated\nThe failures of law enforcement that allowed Dahmer to continue killing\nWhat Dahmer says—and what he leaves out of his confession\n\nThis is not a retelling of the crimes. It’s an analysis of the mind behind them.\n\nIf you want to go deeper into the Charles Manson case, my book Charles Manson: The Last Words documents years researching the story and speaking directly with members of the Manson Family — including Charles Manson himself.\n\nRead it here:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQ6QRVQ7\n\nFor those who want to examine the evidence directly, complete phone calls and documents are available inside UNMARKED: Case Files, our research portal, along with ad-free episodes.\n\nJoin here:\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Unmarked_TrueCrimePodcast\n\nFollow UNMARKED for additional case material, updates, and short-form analysis:\n\t•\tYouTube: @Unmarked_Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@Unmarked_Podcast/videos)\n\t•\tInstagram: @unmarked_podcast (http://instagram.com/unmarked_podcast)\n\t•\tTikTok: @unmarkedpodcast (http://tiktok.com/@unmarkedpodcast)\n\t•\tPatreon: /Unmarked_TrueCrimePodcast (https://www.patreon.com/Unmarked_TrueCrimePodcast)\n\nIf you want to follow the cases as I’m working on them, you can find me on Instagram — @jamesbuddyday\n\nUNMARKED: A True Crime Podcast is hosted by Audioboom.","author_name":"UNMARKED: A True Crime Podcast","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5167828-unmarked-a-true-crime-podcast","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43568408/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
