By the time Jeffrey turned six his mother gave birth to a second son who she called David.  Though this did not have a dramatic effect on Dahmer's life he stayed pretty much neutral to his brothers existence and they never became close.

By the time of his second son's birth Lionel Dahmer and his family moved into there own house at 4480 West Bath Road, surrounded by open forest where Jeffrey could lose himself in a world of make believe.

As Jeffrey grew towards puberty, his sinking isolation and shyness was confirmed once again. An early sexual experiment with a another boy proved to be disappointing and joyless.

"...I was completely swept along with my own compulsion.
I don't know how else to put it.
It didn't satisfy me completely so maybe I was thinking
another one will. Maybe this one will,
and the numbers started growing and growing
and just got out of control, as you can see..."

           
Victims:  Bradehoft, Hicks, Lacy, Lindsay, Miller, Sinthasomphone, and the lucky Tracy Edwards
 

Jeffery should have come to a time in his life where he wanted to experience the joys of life and the companionship of friends, but Jeffrey withdrew into himself and kept his life somewhat of a secret.

Jeffrey's Dahmer's life conditioned him for the hard struggle that lay ahead, little did he know that in just over 16 years he would become one of America's most famous serial killers having murdered 17 people, dismembering them and sleeping with there corpses and keeping parts of his victims for trophy's.
