Where is Christopher Scarver now? How He Killed Jeffrey Dahmer

When Jeffrey Dahmer was imprisoned for the horrible murder of seventeen men and boys, he died there.

At the Columbia Correctional Institution in 1994, prisoner Christopher Scarver fatally bludgeoned the Milwaukee Cannibal.

Who is Christopher Scarver?

Christopher J. Scarver was born on July 6, 1969, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In the eleventh grade, he dropped out of high school and began to struggle with alcoholism, leading to his mother evicting him.

Under the pretence that he would be hired full-time after completing his training as a trainee carpenter under the Wisconsin Conservation Corps job programme, Scarver had secured the position.

He says he made the arrangement with Edward Patts, who oversaw him and was eventually fired.

He never found a permanent job as a result, and he started drinking extensively once more.

Later, on June 1, 1990, Scarver made the decision to confront Patts’ successor, Steve Lohman, in the training programme office.

At gunpoint, he demanded money from the manager, but Lohman only gave him $15, setting Scarver off in a frenzy.

Before approaching site manager John Feyen, the Milwaukee native shot his employer once in the head, killing him instantly.

Before shooting two more shots into Lohman’s lifeless body, he requested more money once more.

Feyen gave the shooter a $3,000 check before fleeing; the shooter, who was 21 at the time, was later apprehended by police.

After being found guilty of the crime and given a life sentence, he was booked into the Columbia Correctional Institution in 1992.

Scarver’s girlfriend gave birth to their kid, who was also named Chris, not long after he was imprisoned.

Following his triple homicides, Scarver, 53, is still incarcerated.

For killing Jeffrey Dahmer and another prisoner in 1994, he received two more life terms.

He is incarcerated at Canon City, Colorado’s Centennial Correctional Facility.

“God Seed: Poetry of Christopher J. Scarver,” a book by the convicted killer, was published in April 2015 from behind bars.

A “poetic view of the world as seen through prison walls,” according to the Amazon description of the book.

How He Killed Jeffrey Dahmer?

Jeffrey Dahmer received a life sentence at the same prison where Scarver was being held around the same time.

He admitted to loathing the serial killer but claimed to have “never interacted” with him, preferring to observe Dahmer’s peculiar actions from a distance.

He did, however, save a newspaper story detailing the terrible acts of the cannibal in his pocket.

Scarver alleged that the insane inmate mocked other prisoners by moulding body parts out of food and used ketchup as blood in a 2015 interview with the New York Post.

He explained: “He would put them in places where people would be. He crossed the line with some people — prisoners, prison staff.

“Some people who are in prison are repentant — but he was not one of them.

“I saw heated interactions between [Dahmer] and other prisoners from time to time.”

The two were put to a work assignment on November 28, 1994, along with Jesse Anderson, another prisoner.

When correctional officials abandoned them, the group was charged with cleaning the restrooms in the prison’s gymnasium.

At the time, Scarver, then 25 years old, thought the two men were making fun of him. He turned around to find them “laughing under their breath.”

The two then entered a different room where he confronted Dahmer about his heinous actions.

The father reportedly informed Dahmer he was “fiercely appalled” by his 17 murders while arming himself with a metal bar from the weight room.

He recalled: “I asked him if he did those things ’cause I was fiercely disgusted. He was shocked. Yes, he was.”

He described how the depraved cannibal frantically began looking for the door, but he blocked his exit – and delivered two fatal blows to his head with a 20-inch, 5-pound metal bar.

“He ended up dead. I put his head down,” the inmate said.

Anderson, who was serving a life sentence for the 1992 murder of his wife, was then given the same fate by Scarver as he crossed the gym.

Scarver was given two further life terms after confessing to the killings.
