Jeffery Dahmer Netflix series slammed by victim’s family
of one of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims says the new Netflix dramatization of the cannibal’s murder spree has dredged up painful trauma for his family — who are “pissed” at the streaming giant.Errol Lindsey, 19, became the twisted killer and sex offender’s 11th known victim when he was brutally murdered in July 1991, after being lured to Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment to drink beer.Dahmer, who murdered and dismembered 17 men and boys, drilled a hole in Lindsey’s skull before pouring acid into it and decapitating him, authorities said.The sickening crimes were retold in Netflix’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” which aired Wednesday — leaving many viewers “nauseated.” Lindsey’s cousin Eric Perry took to Twitter after it dropped to slam the streaming hit.“I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show,” Perry wrote next to a side by side shot of his cousin, Rita Isbell, delivering a victim’s impact statement at Dahmer’s trial and the series’ reenactment. “It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?”Isbell also told Insider that Netflix did not consult or pay her for the reenactment of her emotional courtroom outburst — which led to her being pulled off the stand by court officers.“When I saw some of the show, it bothered me, especially when I saw myself — when I saw my name come across the screen and this lady saying verbatim exactly what I said, she reportedly said.“If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought it was me.

Netflix’s ‘Conversations With a Killer’ Season 3 ‘The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes’ to Debut in October (EXCLUSIVE)
Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Netflix has set a third installment of Joe Berlinger’s “Conversations With a Killer” docuseries, this one focused on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, Variety has learned exclusively. Titled “Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes,” the three-part series will launch Oct. 7 on the streamer. Here is the official description for “Conversations With a Killer” season 3, per Netflix: When Milwaukee police entered the apartment of 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer in July of 1991, they uncovered the grisly personal museum of a serial killer: a freezer full of human heads, skulls, bones and other remains in various states of decomposition and display. Dahmer quickly confessed to 16 murders in Wisconsin over the previous four years, plus one more in Ohio in 1978, as well as unimaginable acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. The discovery shocked the nation and stunned the local community, who were incensed that such a depraved killer had been allowed to operate within their city for so long. Why was Dahmer, who had been convicted of sexual assault of a minor in 1988, able to avoid suspicion and detection from police as he stalked Milwaukee’s gay scene for victims, many of whom were people of color?
