What Really Happened To Jeff Dahmer? - Another Theory

Was Jeff Dahmer being blackmailed?

If you haven’t already seen it, here’s our theory about what might have caused Jeff Dahmer to agree to play a gay serial killer in a fake news story.

A few days ago, someone on our subreddit offered another theory about what could have made Jeff Dahmer agree to play a gay serial killer. Here’s that post in its entirety.

What could have made Jeff Dahmer agree to play the role of a gay serial killer?

I think that in the summer of 1988 Jeff confessed to the accidental murder of Steven Hicks (it was the 10th anniversary of Steven's disappearance, perhaps he saw an article in the newspaper and could no longer remain silent. And I think he even confessed that he buried Steven in the woods. I don't believe that after Steven's death he was dismembered or something like that. Jeff buried him, who helped him I don't know, Lionel or someone else).

But he confessed to the wrong person.

So, Boyle appears on the scene, he starts talking to Jeff, looks at him closely, says that since it was an accident, the sentence may be less. Нe behaves like a kind caring uncle, but in fact begins to grooming him. I think Jeff didn't realize it right away, but as soon as he did, he said he'd rather go to jail.

Remember the story with the ring that Jeff laid in August 1988? White gold ring with a large topaz worth $ 1500. He got less than 200 for it, it looks like he just wanted to get rid of it.

And who wore such rings? Boyle. This is very clearly seen during the trial, the ring is almost identical.

And a month later they literally put him in jail, having fabricated a case of molestation.

I think the reason why the address of the apartment in which he lived at that time is not displayed in the search is because the apartment was not rented by him. He just lived there for a while.

Maybe Boyle rented this apartment, maybe it was one of the apartments where pedophile priests arranged meetings...everything can be.

And while Jeff was waiting for the trial, they found Steven's skeleton and scattered some of his bones near Jeff's home in Ohio, which automatically cast suspicion on his father and stepmother.

And he had no choice but to admit his guilt in molestation.

So at the same time, Boyle took revenge on Jeff for rejecting him, and they pinned him to the wall with evidence of Hicks' death. After that, they had complete control over Jeff.

Here’s Jeff Dahmer’s explanation (from his confession) about the above-mentioned ring :

Here’s a photo of Gerald Boyle wearing a ring very similar to that which Jeff pawned in August 1988:

There’s quite a discussion going on regarding this theory. If you’d like to participate or just read the comments, here’s the link: What happened to Jeff Dahmer? (thoughts and speculations)

Interestingly, this person’s theory answers a question we had about why they were able to fit all the remains (“286 bone and tooth fragments”) they found belonging to Steven Hicks into a shoe box.

The same person suggests that perhaps there was an accident involving a barbell:

Jeff was coming back from the cinema, saw Steven, they start talking, decided to hang out together.

At home they drinking beer, smoking weed and pulling weights.

What could have gone wrong? Everything.

They were drunk, high...

Maybe Jeff couldn't hold the barbell, it slipped out of his hands, fell on Stephen and broke his larynx.. Or Steven decided to pull the barbell himself while Jeff was away and it fell on him.

There are many cases when a barbell falls on people and suffocates them because they cannot lift it themselves.

The only detail that hasn't changed in Jeff's confession about Steven's death is the barbell.

Jeff Dahmer gave three different versions of Hicks’s death. The only thing that didn’t change was Steven Hicks being killed by a barbell:

Steven Hicks’s death - Jeff Dahmer’s confession

Steven Hicks’s death - Jeff Dahmer’s confession

Steven Hicks’s death as told to the FBI by Jeff Dahmer

In his Inside Edition interview, Jeff Dahmer said Hicks’ death “was not planned.”

Jeff Dahmer says Steven Hicks’s death “was not planned.”

Here’s a video of an Australian man who nearly choked to death after he was unable to lift a barbell off his neck. Includes a video of the man struggling:
