Tracy Edwards was a key player in the capture of Jeffrey Dahmer, a convicted serial killer.
Dahmer was given a 957-year prison term, but he died in 1994 after being attacked by another murderer who had served his time.
Who is Tracy Edwards?
At least 17 men and boys were slaughtered by serial killer Dahmer in Wisconsin and Ohio; Tracy Edwards is famous for evading him.
In 1991, Dahmer invited Edwards to his home for a night of beer and The Exorcist.
Soon after handcuffing him, Dahmer made a knife threat to his victim.
According to Edwards, Dahmer invited him into his bedroom and declared his desire to consume Edwards’ heart.
He reported the killer to the police after escaping from his grasp.
After discovering the bodies of several males, police quickly detained Dahmer.
After the incident, Edwards sued the Milwaukee court for allegedly failing to follow up on earlier leads regarding Dahmer.
The claim was rejected.
Since then, Edwards has accrued a long list of offences, including theft and narcotics possession arrests.
Apparently, he has been without a house since at least 2002.
He was sentenced in 2012 by a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge for his involvement in a dispute that resulted in the death of a homeless man to one and a half years in prison and two years of extended supervision.
After overwhelming Dahmer, Tracy was able to escape. He then reportedly rushed through the streets in search of police officers, who he then guided to Dahmer’s home.
Officers detained Dahmer after discovering images of previously decapitated bodies.
Two skulls were among the body parts discovered after a thorough investigation of his home.
In 1992, Dahmer was found guilty of 15 counts of murder and sentenced to death.
The media has focused a lot of attention on serial killer Dahmer because of the effect and horrifying nature of his deeds.
The Netflix original true crime series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which premiered on September 21, 2022, explains how the murderer managed to go unnoticed for so long.
The role Edward played in Dahmer’s capture will also be displayed.
