In the popular Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Jeffrey Dahmer’s grandmother Catherine Dahmer (also known as Catherine Jemima Hughes) is a pivotal character in the tale of the legendary serial murderer because he committed numerous murders when he lived with her.
Catherine, played by actress Michael Learned, is thought to have been unconscious of what occurred in her basement despite the fact that he slaughtered and dismembered odor-emitting victims inside her house.
Where did Jeffrey Dahmer and his grandmother live? How long did they live together?
On 2357 S 57th Street, in the Wisconsin suburb of West Allis, lived Catherine. Today, the house is still standing.
Even though he had abused Preston Davis and Billie Capshaw physically and sexually while serving in the military, Dahmer returned to his parents’ home after receiving an honorable discharge in 1981. After returning home, Dahmer struggled with drinking and was detained in Ohio for disorderly intoxication.
After his arrest, Lionel Dahmer and his stepmother Shari Dahmer took their kid to live with his grandmother in Wisconsin, where he stayed for a total of nine years, until 1990. The Milwaukee Sentinel said that Jeffery’s father said, “We sent him to live with his grandmother, which was undoubtedly a very bad decision, but I lacked the insight to act any other way. a new setting. He would assist her with the housework because they cared for one another.”
