Jeffrey Dahmer's Dad Breaks Silence, Plans to Sue Netflix Over Series on Milwaukee's Terrifying Cannibal Serial Killer

Netflix may be happy with the success of its show "Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story," but the dad of Milwaukee's terrifying cannibal serial killer feels the opposite.

The caretaker of Lionel Dahmer, 86, told the U.S. Sun that he was upset that he was never contacted regarding the controversial drama series that was released last month.

Lionel's assistant also said that the elder Dahmer was not happy that Netflix did not ask permission to use the tape recordings from his son's legal team for the "Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes." It was Netflix's other Jeffrey Dahmer docuseries released earlier this month.

Milwaukee's Terrifying Cannibal Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer's Dad to Sue Netflix?

Lionel Dahmer's 34-year-old caretaker, who wished to be identified only as Jeb, told the U.S. Sun that from his understanding and from everything he has seen and witnessed, the serial killer's dad was not contacted about these shows on Netflix.

Jeb said Lionel is now seeking legal advice on whether to sue Netflix over the two shows made about his son.

"I've personally talked to a few lawyers and we've talked to his publisher about it, too due to all the chaos that is going on and the stories we've seen," he noted.

He said: "Lionel and his power of attorney are gathering information and looking at a possible lawsuit against the production team or possibly Netflix," adding that "there was zero care whatsoever about Lionel's wellbeing."

The new Netflix releases about his son have reportedly affected Lionel's life negatively. According to the New York Post, the elder Dahmer now lives in Ohio and has not commented on the Netflix series. However, the series has attracted people, including deranged fans, to visit his home, leaving the elder Dahmer in a "nervous wreck."

Due to the sudden craze, Lionel's assistant said they decided to put up "No Trespassing" signs at the elder Dahmer's property, and he even decided to arm himself for protection.

The assistant further noted that while he has yet to watch the new Netflix series in full, he felt that the serial killer's dad was not portrayed fairly. He said the elder Dahmer was a "very caring father" and tried to "do his best in a time of uncertainty."

Jeb noted that when he asked Lionel Dahmer what he wanted to tell people, the serial killer's dad told him that everything he had to say was in his book.

"He [Lionel Dahmer] thinks that none of this should have been made. All the information that needs to be public is right there in his book," the caretaker said.

"Everything else is just glamorized and provides attention to details that aren't proven fact... They don't know the conservations between Jeff and the victim," he added.

Jeffrey Dahmer's dad published a memoir, "A Father's Story," in January 1994 - just months before Milwaukee's terrifying cannibal serial killer was bludgeoned to death in prison by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver.

According to Jeb, Lionel Dahmer was still angry over his son's gruesome death and believed the prison guards looked the other way.

"When Scarver gets brought up, he gets pissed... Why weren't there any guards standing there watching? Why didn't any of them do anything?" Jeb told the U.S. Sun.

He added that as far as he knows, since he last talked to the elder Dahmer, Lionel "believes the guards looked the other way and let it happen."

Cannibal Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Inspires New Tourism Trend in Milwaukee

Jeffrey Dahmer regained new popularity because of the Netflix series.

According to New York Post, it has also boosted the tourism industry in Milwaukee, as fans travel to the area where the cannibal serial killer once hunted his victims.

Several true crime buffs are reportedly retracing the serial killer's footsteps. Bob Weiss, who owns Hangman Tours and operates the "Cream City Cannibal" walking tour in Milwaukee, highly welcomed these tourists.

Weiss' tour is described as a 75-minute excursion to the places where the notorious serial killer "poached seven of his 17 victims."

Since Netflix started streaming the "Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" series, Weiss has seen an increase in tours, and he's facing an overwhelming number of new bookings lately.

"We don't glorify anything that Dahmer did, we don't make light of anything, there are some significant lessons that I think society needs to be reminded of," Weiss told the Post.

However, Charese Gardner, owner of Wall Street Stock Bar, which used to be the infamous Club 219, where Dahmer picked up many of his victims, is not pleased about this latest development.

Gardner told Fox6 that she could not stand hearing Jeffrey Dahmer's name or thinking about what he did to her hometown.

She noted that whenever true crime tourists come to see her bar, she was not interested in encouraging them in the slightest.
