MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the most infamous serial killers in the US, reportedly stood at a height of 6ft 0.5 inches (184. 15 cm), but some sources say he was 5ft 9 inches (175.26 cm).
Dahmer's apartment harbored the remains of 11 young men, with the majority being of Black, Hispanic, or Asian descent, with most of their heights being above 5ft 9 inches (175.26 cm).
While Dahmer was not the tallest serial killer in the US, he was only a few inches taller than his biological brother, David Dahmer, who stoof 5ft 7 inches tall (170.18 cm).
Who were Jeffrey Dahmer's victims?
According to The Sun, Jeffrey Dahmer's victims were all young men, ranging in age from 14 to 32.
They were identified as Steven Hicks (18), Steven Tuomi (25), James Doxtator (14), Richard Guerrero (22), Anthony Sears (24), Raymond Smith (32), Edward Smith (27), Ernest Miller and David Thomas (22), Curtis Straughter (17), Errol Lindsey (19), Anthony Hughes and Konerak Sinthasomphone (31), Matthew Turner (20), Jeremiah Weinberger (23), Oliver Lacy (24), and Joseph Bradehoft (25).
While reportedly, most of his victims where almost as tall as him, victim Jamie Doxtator, despite his age of 14, was almost 6ft tall.
Another of his young victims was Konerak Sinthasomphone, who was only 14 years old and managed to escape from Dahmer's lair in 1991 but unwitting police officers handed him right back over to Dahmer, sending him to his brutal death.
As reported by The Tampa Bay Times, the teenager had fled from home to seek refuge from an abusive stepfather just two days before encountering Jeffrey Dahmer.
Jeffrey Dahmer may have appeared around the 6ft mark in his police and prison mug shots, but his blonde hair could have given the illusion of him being slightly taller.
However, compared to other notorious serial killers, he wasn't exceptionally tall.
Was Jeffrey Dahmer the tallest serial killer?
Jeffrey Dahmer surely wasn't the tallest serial killer. Ed Kemper, for instance, stood 6ft 9 inches (206 cm) tall - which led to his nickname "Big Ed', making him taller than Jeffrey Dahmer.
When compared to other notorious serial killers, Jeffrey Dahmer's Height of 5ft 9 inches (175.26 cm) was considerably shorter than Edmund Kempner who stood 6ft 9 inches (205.74 cm) tall and Ted Bundy's height of 5ft 10 inches (178 cm).
However, Dahmer was taller than another infamous serial killer Charles Manson, who stood 5 foot 2 inches (157 cm) tall.
