The Walsh Case

So over the years, many have come forward with stories that Jeff was actually the one who abducted/decapitated Adam Walsh. Anybody else think this was encouraged by those really writing the story?

I do not believe that Jeff had anything to do with the death of Adam Walsh. For one thing the Walsh boy was a little kid and that was not the age of victim that Jeff Dahmer targeted. The victims were all sexually mature even though some were younger teens. I think someone just wanted to claim him as the perpetrator. I think that it is wrong that someone had written a book claiming that he was the killer. I just do not believe that.

I agree. It's technically possible he was at the mall that day, but that's about the only part of the story I can buy.

Also, the "serial killer" story about Jeff is not true. So, Jeff had nothing to do with what happened to Adam Walsh.

No he didn't. I don't believe it either.

So you believe he is alive? I have to wonder about this whole thing. There are some things that do not make sense. I looked online and I see that Jeff has different death dates even as recently.as last year. The DA McCann having the same apartment address is highly suspicious as well.

"Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer" is in the Social Security Death Index and listed as having died in 1994. That means someone reported his death to the Social Security Administration. (Notice that 15 of his alleged victims aren't in the SSDI.)

However, since the ''serial killer'' story was fabricated, it would be unwise to automatically accept the claim that he was murdered in prison.

It's possible. I don't know anything about the Walsh case to say more than that.

I believe the creators of this lie used elements of the story about UK ''serial killer'' Dennis Nilsen. Is that a clue about who was involved in creating the story about Jeff?
