Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s prison glasses for sale for almost P9 million, other memorabilia
Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s prison glasses are up for sale for $150,000 (almost P9 million).
The specs are being sold on Cult Collectibles by Taylor James of Vancouver, Canada. He was able to get hold of it as well as other memorabilia after being tapped by a housekeeper who used to work with Jeffrey’s dad Lionel. “Taylor agreed to manage and sell the collection through his website for a portion of the profit,” according to a TMZ report.
Other items in the catalog include the Milwaukee Cannibal’s cutlery, bible, personal tape recorder, official documents, and family portraits. Note that you would have to contact Taylor directly if you're interested in getting your hands on the glasses.
Jeffrey has been a hot topic on social media since the release of Netflix true crime series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, starring Evan Peters as the titular killer.
Jeffrey murdered 17 teen boys due to his “obsessive desires of wanting to control them, possess them permanently,” he said in a 1993 interview with Inside Edition. He later decided to eat his victims—a curious move that turned into an addicting thought of “wanting them to feel like they’re a part of me.”
The killing spree lasted for 13 years, from 1978 to 1991. It was put to a stop when one of his victims was able to escape and report him to the police. He was sentenced to life in prison a year later, but died in 1994 after being beaten to death by his fellow inmate.
