Where is Jeffrey Dahmer Brother David Dahmer: Some important facts, such as what happened to the serial killer’s younger brother, David Dahmer, are omitted in the new Netflix portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer’s life and murders.
Before almost completely disappearing from the plot in later episodes of “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” David Dahmer, who was born in 1966, seven years after his brother, is portrayed as a young child in the first few episodes.
This disappearance doesn’t stray far from what was happening in real life.
When their parents got divorced, Jeffrey Dahmer and David Dahmer split apart.
The brothers grew up together, as the show portrays. In his 1993 biography “The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer,” Brian Masters said that David once witnessed his older brother doing an animal dissection.

“David Dahmer knew about the animal graveyard and thought his brother was ‘doing a good service’ by burying dead creatures,” Masters wrote.
Separation followed the divorce of their parents, Lionel and Joyce Dahmer, who, according to Masters’ book, each accused the other of “extreme brutality and callous lack of duty.”
The 11-year-old David Dahmer was the subject of a custody dispute. “There was much discussion and worry over who should have custody of David and where he would live, but no thought was ever given as to what should happen to Jeff, or where he would be expected to live,” Masters wrote.

For her younger son, Joyce was granted custody. Following that, Joyce moved to Wisconsin with David Dahmer, ignoring a judge’s orders that she stay close to Lionel. “She left, never to return, urging Jeff not to tell his father what she had done,” Masters wrote.
Jeffrey Dahmer, almost 18, stayed with their father.

Jeffrey Dahmer was found guilty in 1992 of killing 15 boys and men between 1978 and 1991, and he also admitted to two further killings.
Their father claimed that David Dahmer’s response was to vanish.
David Dahmer changed his name during an appearance on “Larry King Live” in 2004 that was conducted by Lionel and Shari Dahmer, the brothers’ stepmother. Unknown is his new name.
Lionel Dahmer stated, “We’ve vowed to keep him entirely private.
His stepmom, however, mentioned his success. “He has a career … and a family,” she said. “He’s very happy. We’re expecting a second grandchild. Everything is going well.”
Due to the seven-year age gap, Lionel Dahmer said the two “weren’t as close as someone maybe that was one or two years different.” He also noted that the two had different personalities: Jeffrey Dahmer being “extremely shy” and David Dahmer as “very, very ebullient and outgoing.”
Since the 2004 interview, there have been no updates on David Dahmer and no public record since his name change.
“Monster” has quickly risen to the No. 1 position on Netflix, since its release on Sept. 21. However, the streaming service’s latest true crime series has caused controversy, with some saying the show humanizes Jeffrey Dahmer and makes victims’ families relive the traumatic time. “It’s sad that they’re just making money off of this tragedy. That’s just greed,” Rita Isbell, sister of victim Erroll Lindsey, told Insider .
On the 10-episode series, Evan Peters portrays an adult Jeffrey Dahmer. Richard Jenkins plays his father, Lionel; Molly Ringwald is his stepmom, Shari.
