In a 1994 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lionel claimed that he called and visited his son in jail at least once per week and at least once per month.
In his conversation with Winfrey in 1994, Lionel was honest about his efforts to comprehend Dahmer’s urge to kill.
Concerning what to do with their son’s remains, Lionel and his first wife, Joyce Flint, quarreled. Flint stated to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 1995 that she wanted his brain analyzed by doctors to ascertain whether any biological issues had contributed to his murders.
However, according to the Los Angeles Times, Lionel wanted Dahmer’s brain to be burned because he said his son had asked for it. According to the Times, a judge ordered that Dahmer’s brain be burned in 1995.
Like his younger son David, Lionel has stated he has no desire to change his last name.
