He would invite them to his Milwaukee home so they could drink alcohol and he could take pictures of them naked. Dahmer would then drug his victims and killed them by strangling or stabbing them. The killer would dismember his victims, eating parts of their bodies and saving others in his refrigerator or other parts of his house. But he was caught out in July when his 18th intended victim, year-old Tracy Edwards, managed to escape after Dahmer had put him in handcuffs and tried to attack him with a knife.
Edwards flagged down a passing police car and officers went into the house to talk to the calm Dahmer. Dahmer initially pleaded not guilty to all charges, despite having confessed to the killings during police interrogation. He eventually changed his plea to guilty by virtue of insanity.
His defense then offered the gruesome details of his behavior, as proof that only someone insane could commit such terrible acts.

After they had been left alone to complete their tasks, guards returned to find that Scarver had brutally beaten both men with a metal bar from the prison weight room. Dahmer was pronounced dead after approximately one hour. Anderson succumbed to his injuries days later. Scarver alleged that he was disturbed not only by Dahmer's crimes but by a habit Dahmer had developed of fashioning severed limbs from prison food to antagonize other inmates.
After being taunted by Dahmer and Anderson during their work detail, Scarver said that he confronted Dahmer about his crimes before beating the two men to death. He also claimed that prison guards allowed the murders to happen by leaving them alone.
