Mere months before Jeffrey Dahmer would be killed while serving 15 life terms in prison for the murder of 16 people, his father, Lionel Dahmer, went on Larry King Live. With his wife, Shari Dahmer — Jeffrey Dahmer's stepmother — by his side, Lionel came on to discuss a book he recently wrote. A Father's Story details Jeffrey Dahmer's upbringing, but it's primarily Lionel Dahmer trying to ascertain his involvement in what his son would eventually do.Article continues below advertisement
In the book and throughout the interview, we're given glimpses into Dahmer's relationship with his father who, as trite as it sounds, did the best he could with what he had.

Hopefully he has found some peace, though it's safe to assume his life was forever changed after Jeffrey Dahmer's arrest in 1991. During his son's court proceedings, Lionel learned things about him he never knew. These revelations led Lionel to ask himself if there was something about his son he missed.

Was this his fault? He told investigative reporter Stone Phillips in a February 1994 interview that it's been "eternal torment." Much of this pain stems from the realization that perhaps Lionel is not that different from his son. In his book, Lionel wrote, "As I began to confront Jeff's childhood imaginings, it became clear to me that they had not always been wholly different from my own."Article continues below advertisement
Lionel went on to say that, growing up, he often had dreams of murdering people.

These dreams frequently came on the heels of some form of harassment, either physical or emotional, but they were there beneath the surface, never quite taking over. Whereas Jeffrey Dahmer was fascinated by the inner workings of animals which presented itself in dissecting roadkill, Lionel was obsessed with homemade bombs and fire. "I felt like I was in control and I had some power.

When asked what he saw when looking at his son, Lionel answered the question with a great deal of possibly foolish hope. "The naive parent in me still says I see an innocent, shy child, a defenseless vulnerable child who I wish I could help now." A decade later while in conversation with Larry King, Lionel stated it simply.
