Where Is Jeffrey Dahmer’s Father, Lionel Dahmer, Now?

In his seemingly relentless quest to accept full responsibility for his son’s actions, Lionel talked about Jeffrey’s home life and how he regrets certain things his son witnessed. “There were times when he heard the shouting [between Lionel and Dahmer’s mother, Joyce], and he went outside. He just left the house.”

Lionel could not be more distraught about how his son was raised. “It makes me sick that we didn’t have a more Ozzie and Harriet type family,” he said. Despite that, Lionel loved his children.
