Inmate who killed Jeffrey Dahmer reveals why he murdered the serial killer
CANON CITY, Colo. (WITI) -- The inmate who fatally beat serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Dahmer in prison in the early 1990s has revealed his reasons for doing so in a new interview.
Christopher Scarver, who was incarcerated at the same Portage, Wis., prison as Dahmer back in 1994, recently divulged the details of his killing to the New York Post.
"Some people who are in prison are repentant — but he was not one of them,” he told the Post, recounting details of Dahmer's brutal and unapologetic taunts to other inmates.
Bill Vogl
Bill Vogl is a retired Milwaukee Police Department detective who sat down with Dahmer 23 years ago.
"He definitely was guilty. There was no reason about that," Vogl said.
Vogl recounted coming face-to-face with Dahmer.
"Very mild-mannered, talked very softly," Vogl said.
Vogl says the new revelations that have come out of Scarver's interview are not surprising.
"The guy's a killer," Vogl said. "Some of these guys do something like that just to get a name of fame in their mind."
