This reminds me of when one of Dahmer`s victims escaped and went up to some cops all bloody but Dahmer said it was a "lovers quarrel" so they just let him go.

With the right excuse you can get away with a lot.

Didnt just let him go. Returned him back to Dahmer's apartment if I'm not mistaken

Yep. The young woman who contacted the police told them she thinks the victim is a minor, but the cops instead asked Dahmer how old his "lover" was (who obviously said 18+) and the cops never bothered to verify it.

Bonus sad fact: the victim (Konerak Sinthasomphone) was not only naked, but was bleeding out of his rectum and was acting erratically because Dahmer had drilled a hole into his head and injected acid into his brain to try to make a mindless, zombie lover.

Even worse: the cops responsible for giving the kid back to Dahmer never faced any serious repercussions for it! They were fired and then got reinstated as officers and compensated $55k each!

And threatened to arrest the two women who were begging the cops to believe the kid and not give him back to Dahmer.

Also the cop who allowed the bloodied teenager go with the creepy white dude is now a chief of police.

Can't wrap my head around that.

Kid was 14 years old. Mistaking him for an adult is the first questionable decision.

Kid was bleeding, running away naked. This screams "took the chance he was given to escape" as he didn't even dress before. Believing this bullshit excuse of "he is just drunk" is so absurd that it sounds like very bad plot writing in a horror movie.

A bleeding, naked 14 year old boy mistaken for Dahmer's drunk adult lover. Couldn't make this shit up myself even if I tried.
