Jeffrey Dahmer is one of America’s most famous serial killers, notorious for his years-long horrific killing spree that spanned from 1978 to 1991.

The mass murderer preyed mainly on Black, Asian, and Latino men and boys.

Two of his victims were even brothers, but only one survived their encounter with Dahmer.

At the time of his arrest, Dahmer had killed 17 men, leaving a wake of destruction in his path. But this wasn’t the only run-in Dahmer had with the law.

Who was Jeffrey Dahmer’s first victim?

Dahmer kidnapped and murdered his first victim, 18-year-old Steven M. Hicks, in 1978. Hicks was hitchhiking on Route 224 after a concert at Chippewa Lake when Dahmer picked him up and drove him to his parent’s house on West Bath Road under the guise of having a few beers.

What did Dahmer do to Steven Mark Hicks?

At the time of the murder in June 1978, Steven Hicks was 18 years old and had just graduated from Coventry High School in the USA.

Those who knew him described him as a kindhearted and compassionate individual who loved to help others and was always open to making new friends.

Dahmer committed his first murder in 1978, three weeks after his graduation.

He picked Steven Hicks up when Steven was hitchhiking on his way to meet his friends at a rock concert in Ohio.
Dahmer then lured Steven back to his dad’s house on the promise of a few beers and a ride to the concert.

The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the show depicts the pair lifting weights and drinking beer but when the time gets closer to Steven having to meet his friends, Jeffrey doesn’t want him to leave.

Gradually, Jeffrey’s behavior gets more and more uncomfortable, and Steven decides to leave.

It is then that Dahmer becomes enraged and hits Steven with a dumbbell before strangling him with the dumbbell handle.

Dahmer then dissects Steven’s body in the basement of his family home before burying his remains in the garden.

Several weeks later, he digs the body up and dissolves it in acid, where he is then able to crush the bones with a sledgehammer and bury them once again in his backyard.

Unfortunately, Steven’s body has never been found as Jeffrey meticulously disposed of his remains.

Steven’s’remains were never discovered, and Dahmer was charged with his murder once he confessed to it after his arrest in 1991.
