Decent Essays
Dahmer committed his first murder just three weeks after his graduation. On June 18, Dahmer picked up an 18 year old hitchhiker named Steven Hicks. Dahmer told Hicks that they could go to his place and drink alcohol. After several hours, Dahmer bludgeoned him with a 10 lb. dumbbell then strangled him to death with the bar of the dumbbell, then stripped off Hicks clothes and masturbated as he stood over his corpse. The next day, Dahmer dissected Hicks' body; and buried the remains in his backyard. Several weeks later, he dug up the body, and dissolved the flesh in acid. He then flushed the solution down the toilet, crushed the bones with a sledgehammer and scattered them in the woods behind his home.
