  (#8) Police Noticed A Foul Smell In Dahmer's Apartment, But Did Not Look Around

  Once in the apartment, Dahmer showed the officers the photographs he took the previous day as evidence the two were lovers. While there, one of the officers noticed a strange smell, but failed to investigate it. 

  This smell was actually the decaying corpse still on the floor of Dahmer's bedroom, but even as the officers escorted Sinthasomphone to the bedroom, they failed to notice it.

  (#3) There Was A Hole Drilled Through The Boy's Skull

  After the photography session finished, Dahmer drugged Konerak with sleeping pills that rendered him unconscious. Dahmer then performed oral sex and other lewd acts upon the boy, but he failed to stop there. Using a drill to make a hole in Sinthasomphone's skull, Dahmer injected hydrochloric acid into the frontal lobe of his brain. The boy, when he regained consciousness, was dazed and didn't seem to react to much, including the sight of the decomposing body in Dahmer's room. Satisfied that the teen remained incapacitated, Dahmer left to go to a local bar, leaving the boy alone and unguarded.

  Even in his diminished state, Sinthasomphone saw his chance for freedom.

  (#7) Officers Helped Dahmer Take His Victim Back To The Apartment

  The police made up their minds for Sinthasomphone to be returned to Dahmer's apartment, but he didn't seem to want to go. Rather than take this as a sign that something was wrong, the police decided to help forcefully take the boy back inside. Even though he was only capable of muttering incoherently, Sinthasomphone tried to protest.

  Unfortunately, the police officers decided this mumbling was just Laotian, and paid it no mind. Even as he struggled, the two witnesses looked on in horror. As then 17-year-old Childress recalls, "He was struggling; he was reaching out to me for help."

  (#1) Jeffrey Dahmer Had Already Killed Multiple People Earlier That Year

  While he was active, Dahmer murdered at least 17 people, possibly many more than that. In particular, he would target males in their teens and early 20s, most of whom were minorities and gay. He picked them up at bars or just in the neighborhood, luring them back to his apartment with promises of sex, promiscuous photo shoots, and drugs. Upon arriving at his house, Dahmer would incapacitate, rape, kill, and dismember his victims. The youngest of his victims, whom he did not kill, was only 13 years old. Though jailed for assaulting the youngest victim in 1990, Dahmer was back on the streets in 1991, and he was soon back to his old ways.

  In fact, in 1991, Dahmer already murdered at least three people before he targeted Konerak Sinthasomphone. During this time, the body of another victim, Tony Hughes, was still in his apartment.

  (#11) The Responding Officers Were Terminated

  As information about the two officers who returned Sinthasomphone to Dahmer's care came out, things started to go downhill rapidly for them. Grabish and Balcerzak were suspended and investigated, and eventually terminated for their negligence. Their actions received a great deal of scrutiny, and an audio log even came out with them making disparaging, homophobic remarks right after they'd left the scene:

  "The intoxicated Asian naked male (laughter in background) was returned to his sober boyfriend (more laughter)." When the officers are dispatched to another scene, one comments that, first, "my partner is going to get deloused at the station."

  Even with this information out there, the officers were never brought up on charges. The officers claimed that the boy did not speak English, nothing seemed amiss, and that they saw no need to check for ID.

  The only thing that the family was able to get was an $850,000 settlement from the police department.

  (#6) Officers Ignored Witness Claims That The Boy Was In Danger

  The officers who responded to the scene, John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish, seemingly botched the situation in multiple ways. They failed to check Dahmer's criminal history, where they would have seen he was listed as a child molester just recently out of jail. They did not inspect Sinthasomphone thoroughly for damage, or get a medical examination for him. And most of all, they ignored the two women who had, until then, managed to protect the boy from harm.

  When the girls insisted Sinthasomphone was in danger, the police ignored them. They said it was a domestic dispute, and that they should leave it alone. Even when the girls claimed to have seen Sinthasomphone around the neighborhood, a teenage boy who had been missing for a full day, they did not listen. Many now claim racism possibly played a factor in the cops' refusal to listen to the witnesses, who happened to be black.
