NEW YORK – Oxygen Media ventures
into the mind of America’s most notorious serial killer when its two-night
special "Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial Killer Speaks" premieres
Saturday, November 11 at 7pm ET/PT.
Twenty-five years ago,
Milwaukee resident Jeffrey Dahmer committed and confessed to 17 gruesome
murders, shaking the public’s perception of evil to its core. The shocking
nature of his crimes – luring young men into his home, where he drugged,
sexually violated, killed and eventually consumed his victims – unmasked a
madman walking in the shadows and launched the question: how did a once
mild-mannered, handsome young man become one of history’s most terrifying and
unexpected serial killers?
During his time behind bars,
one of the nation’s leading investigative journalists, Nancy Glass, secured
both exclusive access and the first televised interview with Dahmer, developing
a candid relationship in which he divulged the darkest details of his life and
crimes. “Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial Killer Speaks” offers a fresh look at the
infamous serial killer’s life through the eyes of the woman who became his
closest confidant. With new interviews from pivotal figures in the case, the
series sheds light on the grizzly and complicated investigation. For a sneak

“‘Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial
Killer Speaks’ catapults viewers into Jeffrey Dahmer’s psyche, providing a
unique look at the life of a serial killer that shook the nation,” said Rod
Aissa, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Development, Oxygen
Media. “Nancy Glass’ revealing interview with Dahmer, combined with our access
to those who knew him, offers a gripping depiction of a serial killer that
walked among us.”
Looking back on her first
interview with Dahmer, Nancy highlights on-and-off-camera conversations
detailing Dahmer’s disturbing crimes through his own words, giving insight into
his dark, depraved manner and reasons for killing. The two-night event offers
an in-depth look at the man and monster that was Jeffrey Dahmer with new and
exclusive interviews from those closest to him, including parents Lionel and
Shari Dahmer, who haven’t spoken about this case or their son publicly in over
20 years, and surviving victims Billy Capshaw and Preston Davis, who have
decided to finally break their silence about what happened to them. Their
unique experiences with Dahmer throughout various stages of his life expose a
serial killer unlike any other – one not motivated by the impulse to kill, but
rather the desire to exercise control.
